title: 5-HT(3)R binding of lerisetron: an interdisciplinary approach to drug-Receptor interactions.
abstract: The design, synthesis, and use of lerisetron-based molecular probes to investigate the 5-HT(3)R binding site are described. A SAR study, which involved distance and electronic parameter modifications of lerisetron's N-benzyl group, resulted in the discovery of a partial agonist.
