Primes¶
- Intrinsic Ceiling vs Input
- Pharmacology (the canonical case): the efficacy-versus-potency distinction — efficacy (Emax) is the maximum response regardless of dose, potency (EC50) the dose for half-maximal response; a partial agonist has a lower, intrinsic ceiling, which is the structural basis of buprenorphine's bounded respiratory-depression safety.
This sourceDefines efficacy (Emax, the intrinsic ceiling) versus potency (EC50, the input to approach it), full versus partial agonists, and the bounded-ceiling safety property of partial agonists.
