title: Interaction of arylpiperazine ligands with the hydrophobic part of the 5-HT1A receptor binding site.
abstract: A flexible docking of a series of arylpiperazine derivatives with structurally different aryl part to the binding site of a model of human 5-HT1A receptor was exercised. The influence of structure and hydrophobic properties of aryl moiety on binding affinities was discussed and a model for ligand binding in the hydrophobic part of the binding site was proposed.
