  4. Selective estrogen receptor modulator - Wikipedia

    This agonistic or antagonistic activity causes varied structural changes of the receptors, which results in activation or repression of the estrogen target genes. [3] [19] [4] [20] SERMs interact with receptors by diffusing into cells and their binding to ERα or ERβ subunits, which results in dimerization and structural changes of the ...

    A breakage and reunion in the pericentric region of the p arm results in a dicentric isochromosome. [4] Some of the p arm can be found in this formation of i(Xq), but a majority of the genetic material on the p arm is lost so it is considered absent.

  8. Lipinski's rule of five - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipinski's_Rule_of_Five

    Lipinski's rule of five, also known as Pfizer's rule of five or simply the rule of five (RO5), is a rule of thumb to evaluate druglikeness or determine if a chemical compound with a certain pharmacological or biological activity has chemical properties and physical properties that would likely make it an orally active drug in humans.

  9. GABA receptor agonist - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GABA_receptor_agonist

    Many commonly used sedative and anxiolytic drugs that affect the GABA receptor complex are not agonists. These drugs act instead as positive allosteric modulators (PAMs) and while they do bind to the GABA receptors, they bind to an allosteric site on the receptor and cannot induce a response from the neuron without an actual agonist being present.
