Homology Modeling Inspired Synthesis of 5-HT2A Receptor Inhibitors: A Diazepine Analogue of the Atypical Antipsychotic JL13.

Background: The benzoxazepine JL13 is an analogue of the clozapine family of antipsychotic agents which target the 5-HT2A receptor, and has showed promise as an atypical antipsychotic agent. Based on the dearth of clinically effective anti-psychotic agents available, we sought to design and chemically synthesize additional analogues.

Methods: Structure function analysis was conducted using state of art computational methods, which were designed to highlight new candidates for chemical synthesis.
