Template:Infobox drug class/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Infobox drug class. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

Use this template freely for any drug class article.

The template does not at the current time include summary information about the drug class itself. Instead, it contains a consistent interface to other sources that provide information about the drug class. Don't worry about trying to fill in all the fields – even if you can only get one or two, that still can be useful.

While editing an article about a drug class, copy and paste the following text at the top of the page:

This field lists the full name of the drug class, ideally from a nomenclature authority like ATC.

This field specifies an image file that displays the chemical structure of a representative example (e.g., the first-in-class) drug from this class.

• ATC_prefix If available, the ATC code prefix should be added to the drug class box.
• Mode_of_action The cellular mode of action.
• Mechanism_of_action If known, The molecular mechanism of action of the drug class. For example, a receptor agonist, antagonist, inverse agonist, or modulator; enzyme activator or inhibitor; or ion channel opener or blocker.
• Biological_target If known, the biological target of the drug class.
• Chemical_class If appropriate (the class is defined by a specific type of chemical structure) this should be specified in this parameter.
