TLDR
A viewpoint on which methods are appropriate for quantifying bias is provided, based on knowledge of how cellular and intracellular signalling proteins control the conformation of seven-transmembrane receptors.Abstract:
Agonists of seven-transmembrane receptors, also known as G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), do not uniformly activate all cellular signalling pathways linked to a given seven-transmembrane receptor (a phenomenon termed ligand or agonist bias); this discovery has changed how high-throughput screens are designed and how lead compounds are optimized for therapeutic activity. The ability to experimentally detect ligand bias has necessitated the development of methods for quantifying agonist bias in a way that can be used to guide structure-activity studies and the selection of drug candidates. Here, we provide a viewpoint on which methods are appropriate for quantifying bias, based on knowledge of how cellular and intracellular signalling proteins control the conformation of seven-transmembrane receptors. We also discuss possible predictions of how biased molecules may perform in vivo, and what potential therapeutic advantages they may provide.read more

TL;DR: PZM21 is a potent Gi activator with exceptional selectivity for μOR and minimal β-arrestin-2 recruitment and is devoid of both respiratory depression and morphine-like reinforcing activity in mice at equi-analgesic doses.

Biased signalling: from simple switches to allosteric microprocessors
TL;DR: Understanding of GPCRs has evolved from that of two-state, on-and-off switches to that of multistate allosteric microprocessors, in which biased ligands transmit distinct structural information that is processed into distinct biological outputs.

TL;DR: This crystal structure represents the first high-resolution view of transmembrane signalling by a GPCR and the most surprising observation is a major displacement of the α-helical domain of Gαs relative to the Ras-like GTPase domain.

Operational models of pharmacological agonism

TL;DR: An alternative model is proposed, representing the cognitive and transducer functions of a receptor, that describes agonist action with one fewer parameter than the traditional model, and provides a chemical definition of intrinsic efficacy making this parameter experimentally accessible in principle.
