Elucidation of the pathophysiological function of the MT₁ receptor has been hampered mainly by the limited availability of selective full agonist and full antagonist for this receptor subtype. Design and synthesis of selective MT₁ receptor ligands with higher affinity and selectivity may contribute to better understanding of physiological functions mediated by MT₁ receptors UR - http://172.23.153.220/th.pdf ER -
