Integrating classical and quantum mechanics in melatonin receptors for structure-guided drug design
Although melatonin receptor agonists are acknowledged for their therapeutic potential for managing sleep problems, the structural optimization of these compounds is made challenging by variations in crystallographic data.

Neuropathic pain: targeting the melatonin MT2 receptor
Neuropathic pain affects a large proportion of the population and reduces a person’s ability to perform optimally. In South Africa, there are a host of factors that hinder the correct diagnosis and treatment of neuropathic pain. Patients suffering from neuropathic pain are treated suboptimally with NSAIDS and opioids as first-line therapy.
