In Silico Methods for the Discovery of Orthosteric GABAB Receptor Compounds
The GABAB receptor (GABAB-R) is a heterodimeric class C G protein-coupled receptor comprised of the GABAB1a/b and GABAB2 subunits. The endogenous orthosteric agonist γ-amino-butyric acid (GABA) binds within the extracellular Venus flytrap (VFT ...

Identification of a novel P2X7 antagonist using structure-based virtual screening
P2X4 and P2X7 receptors are ATP-gated ion channels, which play important roles in neuropathic and inflammatory pain, and as such they are important drug targets in diseases of inflammatory origin. While several compounds targeting P2X4 and P2X7 receptors
