Mechanism of Action website?

[BMBiology]

My SDN friends, I need your help! Does anybody know of a good website for drugs' mechanism of action with good pictures?

Honestly, Wikipedia has always been a pretty good starting point. They'll tend to have links to review articles with some nice diagramatic representations.

PharmGKB, a genomics website, also has some excellent pictures and explanations, but only when the drug has a decent amount of genomic interaction (the diagram for warfarin is crazy). You might also want to try the different drugs' websites, they tend to have videos and the like in the "Healthcare Professionals" section...from what I remember, Zetia and Plavix have pretty good ones.

If your school will give you access to it, the Clinical Pharmacology database/website is pretty decent but there's no pictures.

If I'm on the go, definitely Wikipedia for a short concise answer. But if someone wants something more in detail, I'd normally dig out the package insert for the drug or just look it up on Clinical Pharmacology

Wikipedia is a dirty little secret. Sure, we all use it. But no one talks about it.
