| Abstract | 5-HT1A serotonin and D1 dopamine receptor agonists have been postulated to be able to improve negative and cognitive impairment symptoms of schizophrenia, while partial agonists and antagonists of the D2 and 5-HT2A receptors have been reported to be effective in reducing positive symptoms. There is therefore a need for well-defined homology models for the design of more selective antipsychotic agents, since no three-dimensional (3D) crystal structures of these receptors are currently available. In this study, homology models were built based on the high-resolution crystal structure of the β2-adrenergic receptor (2RH1) and further refined via molecular dynamics simulations in a 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC) lipid bilayer system with the GROMOS96 53A6 united atom force field. Docking evaluations with representative agonists and antagonists using AutoDock 4.2 revealed binding modes in agreement with experimentally determined site-directed mutagenesis data and significant correlations between the computed and experimental pK i values. The models are also able to distinguish between antipsychotic agents with different selectivities and binding affinities for the four receptors, as well as to differentiate active compounds from decoys. Hence, these human 5-HT1A, 5-HT2A, D1 and D2 receptor homology models are capable of predicting the activities of novel ligands, and can be used as 3D templates for antipsychotic drug design and discovery. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
