Chiral receptor sites in the human body interact only with drug molecules having the proper absolute configuration, resulting in marked differences in the pharmacological activities of enantiomers.

I did help to set up an undergraduate course in medicinal chemistry and made progress in modelling and analysing pharmacological activity at the tissue level, my new passion.

Scottish Scientist

All I ever promised was that I was sure I could develop a new pharmacological agent which might answer a physiological question. Any utility would be implicit in that answer.

Used when discussing drug functions and their effects on health.

Medical Context

Common in scientific, health care, and academic discussions, not day-to-day language.

Technical Term

Refers to how different drugs may affect each other when taken together.

Drug Interactions

 So what do you think, Xu? Could we use, let's say, pharmacological drugs to activate or inactivate brain cells? Nah. Drugs are pretty messy. They spread everywhere. And also it takes them forever to act on cells. So it will not allow us to control a memory in real time.
