'''Functional analogs''' ('''functional analogues'''), are [[chemical compound|compounds]] that have similar [[physics|physical]], [[chemistry|chemical]], [[biochemistry|biochemical]], or [[pharmacology|pharmacological]] properties. An example of a functional analogueanalog (and structural analog) is [[morphine]] and [[heroin]]. Functional analogs are not necessarily also [[structural analog]]s with a similar [[chemical structure]]. Examples are classes of [[drug]]s that have a similar mechanism of action.
