Description

5-Bromo-1H-benzimidazole is a 5-HT1A receptor ligand that has been shown to bind to the 5-HT1A receptor and induce serotonin release. It is a synthetic compound that has been shown to produce an inverse agonist effect at this receptor. The binding of the ligand to the orthosteric site of the 5-HT1A receptor induces conformational changes in the protein, leading to a decrease in its affinity for serotonin. Inhibition of 5-HT1A receptors by 5-Bromo-1H-benzimidazole may be mediated through allosteric interactions with other sites on this receptor. This compound has been used for predictive modeling and as a tool for studying functional theory of neurotransmitter receptors.
