7. A drug can act as an antagonist in several ways also. A drug may inactivate an enzyme preventing the neurotransmitter from being produced. It can block transporter molecules that fill synaptic vesicles so that there is no neurotransmitter available when the synaptic vesicles rupture against the presynaptic membrane. The drug can prevent the release of the neurotransmitter from the terminal button. It can be a receptor blocker by binding to the receptor’s binding site and preventing the neurotransmitter from binding to the site. It can selectively activate presynaptic receptors causing less neurotransmitter to be released.
