Journal Article
van der Westhuizen, E. T., Spathis, A., Khajehali, E., Jörg, M., Mistry, S. N., Capuano, B., …Christopoulos, A. (in press). Assessment of the molecular mechanisms of action of novel 4-phenylpyridine-2-one and 6-phenylpyrimidin-4-one allosteric modulators at the M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors. Molecular Pharmacology, https://doi.org/10.1124/mol.118.111633

Positive allosteric modulators (PAMs) that target the M1 muscarinic acetylcholine (ACh) receptor (M1 mAChR) are potential treatments for cognitive deficits in conditions such as Alzheimer's disease and schizophrenia. We recently reported novel 4-phen...

A thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine scaffold is a novel negative allosteric modulator of the dopamine D2 receptor (2018)
Journal Article
Fyfe, T. J., Zarzycka, B., Lim, H. D., Kellam, B., Mistry, S. N., Katrich, V., …Capuano, B. (2019). A thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine scaffold is a novel negative allosteric modulator of the dopamine D2 receptor. Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 62(1), 174–206. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.jmedchem.7b01565

Recently, a novel negative allosteric modulator (NAM) of the D 2-like dopamine receptors 1 was identified through virtual ligand screening. This ligand comprises a thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine scaffold that does not feature in known dopaminergic ligands....
