Starting from a chemical library, ...The heterotrimeric G protein-coupled serotonin receptor 5-HT receptor (5-HTR) mediates antinociception and may serve as a valuable target for the treatment of pain. Starting from a chemical library, we evolved ST171, a bitopic 5-HTR agonist that revealed highly potent and functionally selective G signaling without G activation and marginal β-arrestin recruitment. ST171 is effective in acute and chronic pain models. Cryo-electron microscopy structures of ST171 bound to 5-HTR in complex with the G protein compared to the canonical agonist befiradol bound to complexes of 5-HTR with G or G revealed that the ligands occupy different exo-sites. The individual binding poses are associated with ligand-specific receptor conformations that were further studied by molecular dynamics simulations, allowing us to better understand ligand bias, a phenomenon that may be crucial to the discovery of more effective and safe G protein-coupled receptor drugs. #1: Journal: Biorxiv / Year: 2023Title: Discovery of a functionally selective serotonin 5-HT1A receptor agonist for the treatment of pain Authors: Ullrich, A. / Schneider, J. / Braz, J.M. / Neu, E. / Staffen, N. / Stanek, M. / Blahova, J. / Hove, T. / Albert, T. / Allikalt, A. / Lober, S. / Bhardwaj, K. / Rodriguez-Rosado, S. / Fink, E. ...Authors: Ullrich, A. / Schneider, J. / Braz, J.M. / Neu, E. / Staffen, N. / Stanek, M. / Blahova, J. / Hove, T. / Albert, T. / Allikalt, A. / Lober, S. / Bhardwaj, K. / Rodriguez-Rosado, S. / Fink, E. / Rasmussen, T. / Hubner, H. / Inoue, A. / Shoichet, B.K. / Basbaum, A.J. / Bottcher, B. / Weikert, D. / Gmeiner, P. | ||||||||||||
