Abstract
The 5-HT7 receptor (5-HT7R), characterized in 1993, is the most recently described member of the serotonin family. Since its discovery, 5-HT7R has been the subject of extensive research due to its widespread distribution in the brain, suggestive of multiple central roles. The focus of this review is to illustrate the literature concerning developments of the last few years (2007-2010) towards the discovery of novel and selective 5-HT7R ligands, agonists, antagonist and inverse agonists.

Drugs and Mitochondria
Mitochondria play a central role in the life and death of cells. They are not merely the center for energy metabolism but are also the headquarters for different catabolic and anabolic processes, calcium fluxes, and various signaling pathways. Mitochondria maintain homeostasis in the cell by interacting with reactive oxygen-nitrogen species ...read more
Mitochondria as a Therapeutic Target in Metabolic Disorders
Mitochondria are the primary site of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production in mammalian cells. Moreover, these organelles are an important source of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species in virtually any nucleated cell type. The modulation of a myriad of cellular signaling pathways depends on the mitochondrial physiology. Mitochondrial dysfunction is observed ...read more
