Abstract excerpt
The D(2) dopamine receptor is an important therapeutic target for the treatment of psychotic, agitated, and abnormal behavioral states. To better understand the specific interactions of subtype-selective ligands with dopamine receptor subtypes, seven ligands with high selectivity (>120-fold) for the D(4) subtype of dopamine receptor were tested on wild-type and mutant D(2) receptors. Five of the selective ligands...
