typical antipsychotic drug activity could be discerned from the inverse agonist properties of antipsychotic drugs at the human 5-HT6 receptor. E322R mutation had no effect on the affinity and potency of 5-HT for the 5-HT7 receptor. However the E322R 5-HT7 receptor displayed rob...
(inverse agonist) Rimonabant (Acomplia/Zimulti) was developed as a first-in-class antiobesity medication. However, neuropsychiatric side effects led to the withdrawal of this drug and termination of many clinical programs based on CNS-penetrant CB1 antagonists/inverse agonists. Recent efforts have ...

agonist binding is required for receptor–G protein complex formation, while antagonists prevent G protein coupling. However, many GPCRs exhibit basal activity, allowing G protein association without an agonist. The pharmacological impact of agonist-...
Interleukin-6 production by activated human monocytic cells is enhanced by MK-571, a specific inhibitor of the multi-drug resistance protein-1. Vellenga et al. Br.J.Pharmacol., 1999;127:441 Inverse agonist activity of selected ligands of the cysteinyl-leukotriene receptor 1. ...
In the present paper I intend to review our own work and the work of other laboratories attempting to understand these processes for the dopamine D2-like receptors (D2, D3, D4) and how they contribute to the mechanisms of drug action. It is thought that th...
Ternary drug–receptor interactions, which occur between the hydroxyl group of olmesartan and Tyr113 and between the carboxyl group of olmesartan and Lys199 and His256, were essential for the potent inverse agonist action olmesartan exerts against stretch-induced ERK activation and the constitutive ...
agonist ghrelin is a 28-amino acid peptide secreted primarily by the stomach, and an acylated modification, typically an octanoyl group, of the hydroxyl group of the Ser+3residue is required for the biological action of ghrelin as the unacylated form of ghrelin does not bind or activate the ...
9d–f), which is distinct from the conformational changes in agonist-bound and antagonist-bound structures. Fig. 5: Detailed mechanism of inverse agonism action on the ghrelin receptor. a The arm-2 group of PF-05190457 was observed to insert into the core of the receptor and was sandwiched...
In this double-blind, randomized multicenter 28-day study, the tolerability and efficacy of pimavanserin was compared with placebo in 60 patients with L-DOPA or dopamine (DA) agonist-induced PDP. Motor function was evaluated using the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) Parts II ...
