摘要:
Substituted benzoxazole derivatives which possess a nitrogen containing heterocycle at C2 are selective partial agonists of the 5-HT3 receptor. Alteration of substituents on the benzoxazole nucleus affords both agonist-like and antagonist-like compounds, and uniquely modifies the function of the 5-HT3 receptor ion channel gating system. SAR and corroborative computational docking study for these partial agonists successfully explained structure and function of the 5-HT3 receptor. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
