“…Indeed, a decrease in the expression of the HTR7 gene in the prefrontal cortex has been reported in postmortem brain tissue of patients with schizophrenia [27], and a relationship with sites located near to the HTR7 gene has been reported in genome-wide linkage studies of schizophrenia [28,29]. Based on ethnopharmacological animal studies, it has been hypothesized that 5-HT7R antagonism may be related to the etiology of schizophrenia and may be effective for improving cognitive function [22,23,24,25,26]. Indeed, several second-generation antipsychotic (SGA) drugs, such as amisulpride, clozapine, lurasidone, risperidone, quetiapine, aripiprazole, and perospirone, are known to have a high affinity for 5-HT7R [30,31,32,33].…”
