Neurological dysfunction is prevented or treated by the administration of ligands that activate the GPR30 receptor. Ligands include, but are not limited to, estrogens and structurally related molecules. In a preferred embodiment, the GPR30 ligand is an orally available drug that can cross into the brain from blood. Of particular interest are ligands that do not activate other estrogen receptors, and therefore do not have the classical estrogenic effects attributable to these receptors.
通过施用激活 GPR30 受体的
配体,可以预防或治疗神经功能紊乱。
配体包括但不限于
雌激素和结构相关的分子。在一个优选的实施方案中,GPR30
配体是一种可从血液进入大脑的口服药物。特别值得关注的是,
配体不能激活其他
雌激素受体,因此不具有这些受体的经典
雌激素效应。
