Psychedelics make up a group of psychoactive compounds that induce hallucinogenic effects by activating the serotonin 2A receptor (5-HT2AR). Clinical trials have demonstrated traditional psychedelic substances like psilocybin as class rapid-acting and long-lasting antidepressants. However, there is pressing need for rationally designed 5-HT2AR agonists possess optimal pharmacological profiles in order to fully reveal therapeutic potential these identify safer drug candidates devoid effects. This Perspective provides an overview structure–activity relationships existing based on their chemical classifications discusses recent advancements understanding molecular pharmacology at structural level. The encouraging clinical outcomes psychedelics depression treatment sparked discovery endeavors aimed developing novel with improved subtype selectivity signaling bias properties, which could serve potentially nonhallucinogenic These efforts can be significantly expedited through utilization structure-based methods functional selectivity-directed screening.

Abstract Depression is a common mental illness, which related to monoamine neurotransmitters and the dysfunction of cholinergic, immune, glutamatergic, neuroendocrine systems. The hypothesis one commonly recognized pathogenic mechanisms depression; however, drugs designed based on this have not achieved good clinical results. A recent study demonstrated that depression inflammation were strongly correlated, activation alpha7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7 nAChR)-mediated cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway (CAP) in system exhibited therapeutic effects against depression. Therefore, anti-inflammation might be potential direction for treatment Moreover, it also necessary further reveal key role α7 nAChR pathogenesis This review focused correlations between as well-discussed crucial CAP.

Abstract Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune demyelinating neurodegenerative disease of the central nervous system (CNS) due to injury myelin sheath by immune cells. The clotting factor fibrinogen involved in pathogenesis MS triggering microglia and progress neuroinflammation. Fibrinogen level correlated with severity; consequently, inhibition cascade may reduce neuropathology.
