We previously reported that the novel dual 5-HT₂B and 5-HT7 receptor antagonist N-(9-hydroxy-9H-fluorene-2-carbonyl)guanidine (4) exerted a suppressing effect on 5-HT-induced dural protein extravasation in guinea pigs. To develop a synthetic strategy, we performed docking studies of lead compound 4 bound

The 5-hydroxytryptamine(7) (5-HT(7)) receptor was originally defined by molecular biology techniques. The 5-HT(7) receptor protein and mRNA are found in brain areas, such as the CA3 subfield of the hippocampus, that are involved in various neuropsychiatric disease states. No functional

According to early models of GPCR signaling, G proteins only interact with activated receptors. However, some GPCRs were shown to assemble with G proteins before receptor activation, in accordance with more recent models. Previously, we found that the 5-HT7 receptor
Mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) have been linked to a variety of metabolic, neurological and muscular diseases which can present at any time throughout life. MtDNA is replicated by DNA polymerase gamma (Pol γ), twinkle helicase and mitochondrial single-stranded binding
Intestinal inflammation is often associated with an increased level of serotonin (5-HT), an important gastrointestinal signaling molecule involved in gut homeostasis through stimulation of specific receptors. In this study, we investigated the role of 5-HT7 receptor (5-HT7R) in the induction
