Which of the following statements is correct regarding the relationship between the molecular interaction of a drug with its receptor and the potency of the drug?
a) the greater the number of receptors occupied by a drug, the greater its potency.
b) drugs with high potency have a high EC50
c) drugs with high potency have a drug dose-response curve that lies to
the right of less potent, but similar drugs.
d) the presence of a competitive antagonist shifts the agonist dose response
curve to the right and decreases its potency
e) the greater a drug’s potency, the higher its drug-receptor dissociation
constant, Kd.
