An agonist is a substance that binds to a receptor and activates it, producing a biological response. In pharmacology, agonists can refer to drugs that mimic the action of naturally occurring substances in the body, such as hormones or neurotransmitters. They can enhance or facilitate a specific physiological effect, making them important in various therapeutic applications. For example, morphine is an agonist that binds to opioid receptors to relieve pain.
