Agonistic properties of a series of psychotropic drugs at 5-HT < sub > 1A < /sub > receptors in rat and human brain membranes determined by [ < sup > 35 < /sup > S]GTP γS binding assay

CONCLUSIONS: Our previous studies have raised the concept of a psychoactive drug group with a common pharmacological mechanism of action, i.e., 5-HT1A receptor agonism, consisting of perospirone, aripiprazole, ziprasidone, clozapine, quetiapine, nemonapride, and trazodone. The present study demonstrates the data indicating that brexpiprazole and probably vortioxetine are included in this drug group. Lurasidone and asenapine are excluded from this group.PMID:36637685 | DOI:10.1007/s43440-023-00448-6
