Recent developments in constitutive receptor activity and inverse agonism, and their potential for GPCR drug discovery.

Abstract excerpt

The concept of constitutively active G-protein-coupled receptors is now firmly rooted in receptor pharmacology. Many independent research groups have contributed to its acceptance since its introduction by Costa and Herz in 1989. This concept necessitated a revised ligand classification, and a new category of inverse agonists was introduced alongside existing agonist and antagonist ligands. Initially, it was...
