In ionotropic GABAA receptors, binding of GABA molecules to their binding sites in the extracellular part of the receptor triggers opening of a chloride ion-selective pore. The increased chloride conductance drives the membrane potential towards the reversal potential of the Cl¯ ion which is about –65 mV in neurons, inhibiting the firing of new action potentials. This mechanism is responsible for the sedative effects of GABAA allosteric agonists.
In pharmacology, the term mechanism of actions (MOA) refers to the specific biochemical interaction through which a drug substance produces its pharmacological effect. A mechanism of action usually includes mention of the specific molecular targets to which the drug binds, such as an enzyme or receptor. Receptor sites have specific affinities for drugs based on the chemical structure of the drug, as well as the specific action that occurs there. Drugs that do not bind to receptors produce their corresponding therapeutic effect by simply interacting with chemical or physical properties in the body. Common examples of drugs that work in this way are antacids and laxatives.
In comparison, a mode of action (MoA) describes functional or anatomical changes, at the cellular level, resulting from the exposure of a living organism to a substance.
Drugs with known mechanisms of actions
There are many drugs in which the mechanism of action is known. By knowing the interaction between a certain sight of a drug and a receptor, other drugs can be formulated in a way that replicates this interaction, thus producing the same therapeutic effects. Indeed, this method is used to create new drugs.
Now that we know how drugs move through the body to reach their target, what happens once they get there? By what mechanisms can drugs interact with target proteins to elicit a particular cellular response, and by extension a physiological effect? Let's take a closer look at this now!

Metformin: Mechanism of Action
Metformin: Mechanism of action
Metformin is an oral anti-diabetic drug, which belongs to biguanide class. It is the only drug available in this class.
Still now it’s difficult to find a full explanation of the mechanism of action of metformin.
However, the primary effect of metformin is to activate the enzyme adenosine monophosphate activated protein kinase which is also called AMPK.
Metformin activates AMPK enzyme in liver which inhibits the gluconeogenesis. The inhibition of gluconeogenesis leads to decrease glucose production.
Patient with type 2 diabetes have considerably less fasting glycemia as well as lower post prandial hyperglycemia after administration of metformin. Also hypoglycemia is rare during metformin therapy. That’s why it is more appropriately termed as euglyce...

Penicillin Mechanism of Action animation video
Penicillin pass through porins of gram negative bacterial cell wall. The penicillin then binds to penicillin binding protein linked the cell membrane to be activated. Active penicillin binds to and inactivate transpeptidase enzyme. As a result peptidoglycans NAM and NAG sugars are not cross-linked and the cell wall collapse

Patient with type 2 diabetes have considerably less fasting glycemia as well as lower post prandial hyperglycemia after administration of metformin. Also hypoglycemia is rare during metformin therapy. That’s why it is more appropriately termed as euglycemic agent.
There are other mechanisms also, like:
It increases the insulin sensitivity
Increases the fatty acid oxidation
Decreases the intestinal glucose absorption
