  • From Inverse Agonism to 'Paradoxical Pharmacology' Richard A
    International Congress Series 1249 (2003) 27-37 From inverse agonism to 'Paradoxical Pharmacology' Richard A. Bond*, Kenda L.J. Evans, Zsirzsanna Callaerts-Vegh Department of Pharmacological and Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Houston, 521 Science and Research Bldg 2, 4800 Caltioun, Houston, TX 77204-5037, USA Received 16 April 2003; accepted 16 April 2003 Abstract The constitutive or spontaneous activity of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and compounds acting as inverse agonists is a recent but well-established phenomenon. Dozens of receptor subtypes for numerous neurotransmitters and hormones have been shown to posses this property. However, do to the apparently low percentage of receptors in the spontaneously active state, the physiologic relevance of these findings remains questionable. The possibility that the reciprocal nature of the effects of agonists and inverse agonists may extend to cellular signaling is discussed, and that this may account for the beneficial effects of certain p-adrenoceptor inverse agonists in the treatment of heart failure. © 2003 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved. Keywords. Inverse agonism; GPCR; Paradoxical pharmacology 1. Brief history of inverse agonism at G protein-coupled receptors For approximately three-quarters of a century, ligands that interacted with G protein- coupled receptors (GPCRs) were classified either as agonists or antagonists. Receptors were thought to exist in a single quiescent state that could only induce cellular signaling upon agonist binding to the receptor to produce an activated state of the receptor. In this model, antagonists had no cellular signaling ability on their own, but did bind to the receptor and prevented agonists from being able to bind and activate the receptor.
