Summary:5-HT R was one of the first discovered serotonin receptors and is one of the most thoroughly studied. Dysfunctions associated with 5-HT R neurotransmission are linked to several psychiatric disorders, including anxiety, depression, and movement disorders. The current review covers patent literature published between January 2012 and May 2018. Queries were performed on Espacenet, SciFinder, clinicaltrials.gov, pharmacodia.com, and the websites of pharmaceutical companies. Several novel therapeutic applications have been proposed for 5-HT R ligands, i.e. prostate cancer treatment, gastrointestinal and cardiopulmonary disorders, facilitation of urination and defecation, and L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia. Interestingly, no patent application has been filed by big pharma companies, while numerous researches are being conducted in smaller companies and academia.
