The thoracic perivascular adipose tissue spontaneously induces vasoconstriction through activation of α1‐adrenoceptors

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Although perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) contains substances with contractile properties, its actions on the vascular tone are associated with the release of anticontractile substances. We hypothesize that procontractile PVAT products also exert direct effects on vascular tone. Experimental Approach Thoracic aortas from Wistar

Exploring the pathophysiology underlying clozapine‐induced enhancement of glutamatergic transmission through L‐glutamate and D‐serine release associated with pannexin1 hemichannels

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and purpose Clozapine, an approved antipsychotic for treatment‐resistant schizophrenia (TRS), enhances glutamatergic transmission by increasing exocytosis and non‐exocytosis glutamate release; however, its full action remained to be clarified.

Cannabinoid CB2 receptor‐mediated analgesia: mechanism‐based insights and therapeutic potential

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Agonists of the cannabinoid 2 (CB2) receptor have shown promise for the treatment of pain in a variety of animal models. However, despite current preclinical evidence supporting the use of CB2 agonists for pain, successful translation of findings from preclinical models to human patients is lacking.

Structure–activity relationship of the allosteric effects of ivermectin at human P2X4 and GABAA receptors

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and purpose Positive allosteric modulation of the P2X4 receptor is a potential route to providing cardiovascular benefit through enhancing flow‐dependent arterial vasodilation and providing cardioprotection. However, ligands that selectively enhance P2X4 activity are absent.

Anti‐inflammatory effects of physical stimuli: The central role of networks in shaping the future of pharmacological research

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Addressing complexity in the study of life sciences through Systems Biology and Systems Medicine has been transformative, making Systems Pharmacology the next logical step. In this review, we focus on physical stimuli, whose potential in pharmacology has been neglected, despite demonstrated therapeutic properties.

Effect of 3‐mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase (3‐MST) inhibitors on contractile responses in porcine coronary artery

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Hydrogen sulphide (H2S) is synthesised endogenously through cystathionine β‐synthase (CBS), cystathionine γ‐lyase (CSE) and 3‐mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase (3‐MST). Although exogenous H2S is known to produce vasodilatation, the vascular effect of H2S produced through 3‐MST is unknown. In this study, we demonstrate the effect
