Expression and pharmacological characterization of the human μ-opioid receptor in the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
The human μ-opioid receptor cDNA from which the 32 amino-terminal codons were substituted by the Saccharomyces cerevisiae α-mating factor signal sequence has been expressed in the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris using the host promoter of the ...

Selective κ opioid antagonists nor-BNI, GNTI and JDTic have low affinities for non-opioid receptors and transporters.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
BackgroundNor-BNI, GNTI and JDTic induce selective κ opioid antagonism that is delayed and extremely prolonged, but some other effects are of rapid onset and brief duration.

Bulleyaconitine A Inhibits Visceral Nociception and Spinal Synaptic Plasticity through Stimulation of Microglial Release of Dynorphin A

open access: yesNeural Plasticity, 2020
Background. Visceral pain is one of the most common types of pain and particularly in the abdomen is associated with gastrointestinal diseases. Bulleyaconitine A (BAA), isolated from Aconitum bulleyanum, is prescribed in China to treat chronic pain.

Pharmacological profiles of opioid ligands at Kappa opioid receptors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
BACKGROUND: The aim of the present study was to describe the activity of a set of opioid drugs, including partial agonists, in a human embryonic kidney cell system stably expressing only the mouse κ-opioid receptors.

Algebraic study of receptor-ligand systems: a dose-response analysis [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2022
The study of a receptor-ligand system generally relies on the analysis of its dose-response (or concentration-effect) curve, which quantifies the relation between ligand concentration and the biological effect (or cellular response) induced when binding its specific cell surface receptor.

Synthesis of a novel universal opioid receptor agonist with the 1,3,5-trioxazatriquinane skeleton and its pharmacologies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We designed and synthesized of 1,3,5-trioxazatriquinanes with o- or p-hydroxyphenyl rings as analogs of the κ opioid receptor agonist SYK-146 with m-hydroxyphenyl groups. Although almost all tested compounds did not bind to the opioid receptors, only 17b

Pharmacological Profiles of Oligomerized μ-Opioid Receptors

open access: yesCells, 2013
Opioids are widely prescribed pain relievers with multiple side effects and potential complications. They produce analgesia via G-protein-protein coupled receptors: μ-, δ-, κ-opioid and opioid receptor-like 1 receptors.

Method for identification of condition-associated public antigen receptor sequences [PDF]

open access: yeseLife 2018;7:e33050, 2017
Diverse repertoires of hypervariable immunoglobulin receptors (TCR and BCR) recognize antigens in the adaptive immune system. The development of immunoglobulin receptor repertoire sequencing methods makes it possible to perform repertoire-wide disease association studies of antigen receptor sequences.

The Protective Effects of Κ-Opioid Receptor Stimulation in Hypoxic Pulmonary Hypertension Involve Inhibition of Autophagy Through the AMPK-MTOR Pathway

open access: yesCellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2017
Background/Aims: In a previous study, we showed that κ-opioid receptor stimulation with the selective agonist U50,488H ameliorated hypoxic pulmonary hypertension (HPH).

Regulation of Neuromodulator Receptor Efficacy - Implications for Whole-Neuron and Synaptic Plasticity [PDF]

open access: yesProgress in Neurobiology 72(6), pp 399-415, April 2004, 2004
Membrane receptors for neuromodulators (NM) are highly regulated in their distribution and efficacy - a phenomenon which influences the individual cell's response to central signals of NM release. Even though NM receptor regulation is implicated in the pharmacological action of many drugs, and is also known to be influenced by various environmental ...
