The invention is directed to a method for identifying substances acting as ligands for transfected receptors by using transfected markers to measure receptor / ligand interactions. The present invention also relates to a method of identifying compounds which act as inverse agonists of the 5-HT2A receptor, the method comprising contacting a constitutively active 5-HT2A receptor with at least one test compound and determining any decrease in the amount of basal activity of the receptor so as to identify a test compound which is an inverse agonist of the 5-HT2A receptor. Such inverse agonists may be used in the treatment of schizophrenia and related psychoses.

The invention belongs to the field of pharmacy, relates to medicinal use of an indole piperazine derivative, and in particular relates to appetency of the indole piperazine derivative to dopamine D3 receptor and 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A receptors, function characteristics and use in preparation of medicines for nervous system disease; adrenergic beta-2 receptor crystal structure is used as a template for the construction of a dopamine 5-HT1A receptor model; by accuracy verification on the receptor model and molecular dynamics simulation, a flexible receptor conformation can be obtained; active sites of the flexible receptor conformation can be detected; detection results are superimposed and a dynamic receptor effective-mass model is constructed; an existing compound database is screened and the activity is tested; and results show that the screened compound FDFWHF003 and its derivatives have good activity to the dopamine receptor and 5-HT receptors, can be used for preparation of anti-schizophrenia medicines, and especially is suitable for the preparation of medicines for treating schizophrenia caused by dopamine system and 5-HT system functional disorders.

The present invention relates to the use of 5-HT2 receptor antagonists and in particular of 8-alpha-ergolines such as lisuride, terguride and the derivatives thereof as 5-HT2B and 5-HT2A receptor antagonists and antioxidants in preferably higher-dosed and preferably continuous use for the treatment, progression prophylaxis and general prophylaxis of organ fibroses and other pathological organ remodeling caused by mesenchymal proliferation.

This invention provides novel aryl piperazine derivatives represented by Formula (I) having medical utility, in particular as modulators of dopamine and serotonin receptors, preferably the D3, 5HT1A and 5-HT2A receptor subtypes, and in particular useful for the treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders, incl. schizophrenia.

A pharmaceutical composition for preventing and treating pancreatitis comprising as an active ingredient, a 5-HT2A receptor antagonist, characterized in that the binding activity (pKi) of the 5-HT2A receptor antagonist to 5-HT2A receptor is higher by a value of not less than 1.0 than the binding activity to 5-HT2B and 5-HT2C receptors is disclosed. The binding activity (pKi) of the 5-HT2A receptor antagonist to 5-HT2A receptor is preferably 7.0 or higher and more preferably 8.0 or higher. The invention also provides a method of identifying a candidate substance of the agent for preventing / treating pancreatitis comprising measuring whether or not a test substance has a 5-HT2A receptor antagonism.

Methods for detecting resistance to sedation caused by antipsychotic drugs including methods for detecting psychotic disorders such as but not limited to schizophrenia or bipolar I disorder featuring administering to a patient a dose of an antipsychotic medication; and subjecting the patient to an evaluation at a time point following administration of the dose of the antipsychotic medication. The evaluation is adapted to determine a level of sedation resulting from the dose of the antipsychotic medication. A resulting level of sedation may be one of the following: completely sedated, significantly sedated, moderately sedated, not significantly sedated and completely alert. If the individual is not completely sedated or significantly sedated, or is completely alert, then the patient may have a likelihood of having a psychotic disorder such as schizophrenia.

The present invention is directed to a method for the treatment of an inflammatory disorder in a mammal, said method comprising administering to a mammal in need of such treatment a therapeutically effective amount of (R)-1-(2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodophenyl)-2-aminopropane ((R)-DOI) in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or salt thereof, wherein said inflammatory disorder is associated with a disease selected from asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, irritable bowel syndrome, and Crohn's disease.
