  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-006024",
  "term": "Intrinsic activity",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The maximal effect a drug can produce once it has bound to its receptor, relative to the maximal effect of a full agonist. A full agonist has an intrinsic activity of 1, while a partial agonist has an intrinsic activity between 0 and 1. Antagonists have an intrinsic activity of 0, as they bind but produce no effect.",
