A novel concept of "gasotransmitter" arrived recently. They are small molecules of endogenous gases. Hydrogene sulfide (H2S) is qualified as the third gasotransmitter beside nitric oxide (NO) and carbon monoxide (CO). The physiological functions of endogenous H2S are not well-known.

The serotonin hypothesis of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) arose after an outbreak of PAH in patients taking the anorexigenic drugs aminorex and dexfenfluramine. Both of these drugs are serotonin transporter (SERT) substrates and indirect serotinergic agonists. There is now a

Some antipsychotic drugs are known to cause valvular heart disease by activating serotonin 5-HT(2B) receptors. We have developed and validated binary classification QSAR models capable of predicting potential 5-HT(2B) actives. The classification accuracies of the models built to discriminate 5-HT(2B)

A wave of terminations of development programmes for cannabinoid receptor 1 blockers for obesity indicates the demise of a drug class that was once anticipated to yield blockbusters. Nevertheless, lessons learned might help salvage something for future such approaches.
