The research activity is finalized to the study of the structural parameters responsible for the interaction of different series of ligands with central benzodiazepine receptor (CBR) and/or with peripheral benzodiazepine receptor (PBR – TSPO). The most significant results obtained include the discovery of potent ligands showing high selectivity and different intrinsic efficacy and the definition of the structural determinants responsible for the interaction with CBR or with PBR – TSPO.
