Abstract

A flexible docking of a series of heteroaryl compounds to the binding site of a model of human 5-HT1A/2A receptor was exercised using GLIDE docking methods. The resultant docking scores were used to correlate the in vivo affinity data. The GLIDE docking algorithm when used with a homology model of 5HT1A/2A was based on β2- adrenergic receptor template. The influence of structure and hydrophobic properties of aryl moiety on binding affinities was discussed and a model for ligand binding in the hydrophobic part of the binding site was proposed.
