Abstract:
Ligand-binding-studies on twelve different receptors were used for screening extracts from plants from Suriname (South-America). The results on 5-HT(1A), A(1) and NMDA receptors promote further investigation of Microtea debilis, Hibiscus bifurcatus, Irlbarchia purpurascens, Miconia ciliata and Mimosa myriadena.
