Pharmacodynamics

Pharmacodynamics

The study of a drug's biochemical and physiological effects, as well as its mechanisms of action, is known as pharmacodynamics. Simply put, pharmacodynamics is the study of a drug's effects on the human body. The term "mechanism of action" (MOA) in pharmacology refers to the specific biochemical interaction that a drug substance uses to produce its pharmacological effect. The specific molecular targets to which the drug binds, such as an enzyme or receptor, are usually mentioned in a mechanism of action.
