摘要
Interaction of a single drug with multiple targets through "polypharmacology'' is increasingly recognized as necessary for treatment of complex diseases, such as schizophrenia. G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are major medicinal targets, and understanding the structural basis of both GPCR drug selectivity and promiscuity could provide novel avenues for drug development.
