Targeting the dopamine D receptor in schizophrenia
... It is now known that therapeutic levels of all the antipsychotic drugs occupy 60 – 80% of brain D2 receptors, as shown by Farde et al. [22] and confirmed by others [23] (see review in [24]). This range of 60 – 80% occupancy of D2 for the therapeutic effect is not precise and rigid but is numerically ...

As discussed previously, the chloride channel is intimately associated with neuronal inhibition, and its activity appears to be modulated at many different sites. Caffeine can compete for binding at the benzodiazepine site and woul ...

Nicotinic agonist
A nicotinic agonist is a drug that mimics the action of acetylcholine (ACh) at nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs). The nAChR is named for its affinity for nicotine.Examples include nicotine (by definition), acetylcholine (the endogenous agonist of nAChRs), choline, epibatidine, lobeline, varenicline and cytisine.
