Partial opioid agonists bind to opioid receptors but only cue a partial response, ... Edinoff AN, et al. (2021). Full opioid agonists and tramadol: Pharmacological and clinical considerations.

Agonists can also be classified as “full” or “partial.” A full opioid agonist draws the maximum opioid response from the receptor site.

An unresolved problem in understanding neurotransmitter receptor function concerns the mechanism(s) by which full and partial agonists elicit different amplitude responses at equal receptor occupancy.

Partial agonists are ligands that bind to receptors but produce only a small maximum response even at concentrations where all receptors are occupied. In the case of ligand-activated ion channels ...

Full agonist opioids completely activate these receptors, leading to a strong opioid effect. Partial agonist opioids also activate these receptors but not as fully as full agonists do.

Dopamine partial agonists seem to cause less movement and muscle problems, ... It can take from 2 weeks up to 3 months for these antipsychotics to reach full effectiveness.
