Drugs Acting on K Receptors

Drugs acting on K receptors can be classified based on their mechanism of action:

1. Action on membrane lipids:

• Anesthetics: Anesthetics act on membrane lipids, altering the properties of the cell membrane and affecting the activity of ion channels, leading to changes in neurotransmission and anesthesia.

2. Action on membrane enzymes:

• Directly acting TK amines on K/Na ATPase: Directly acting TK amines are substances that directly act on the K/Na ATPase enzyme, altering its activity and affecting the transport of K and Na ions across the cell membrane, leading to changes in neuronal activity.

Note: This is just an example of the effects of drugs on K channels. Other mechanisms of action may also occur and require further research to better understand how these drugs work.
