Abstract

The disclosure is directed to compounds identified as allosteric modulators of 5-HT 2CR, as well as pharmaceutical compositions and methods using the same. Certain embodiments also include methods of identifying and methods of synthesizing the compounds. Optimization and development of allosteric 5-HT 2CR modulators that bind sites other than the primary ligand binding site generate novel, highly selective, and potent ligands of 5-HT2CR. Such molecules can be used as small molecule probes for the nervous system and as effective therapeutics for a variety of diseases.
