Exchange of substrate and inhibitor specificities between adenylyl and guanylyl cyclases [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
The active sites of guanylyl and adenylyl cyclases are closely related. The crystal structure of adenylyl cyclase and modeling studies suggest that specificity for ATP or GTP is dictated in part by a few amino acid residues, invariant in each family ...

β‐Caryophyllene Mitigates Thioacetamide‐Induced Liver Fibrosis Through CB2‐Mediated Suppression of Necroptosis: A Therapeutic Investigation

open access: yesPharmacology Research &Perspectives, Volume 14, Issue 5, October 2026.
β‐Caryophyllene is a multifunctional sesquiterpene with significant therapeutic potential. Our findings demonstrate that β‐caryophyllene exerts broad hepatoprotective effects through the activation of cannabinoid type 2 (CB2) receptors. These effects include suppression of oxidative stress–induced injury, attenuation of inflammatory responses ...

Cross‐Talk Between Histamine H2 Receptor and Glucocorticoid Receptor: Potential Implications in Acute Myeloid Leukemia Treatment

open access: yesPharmacology Research &Perspectives, Volume 14, Issue 5, October 2026.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the impact of histamine H2 receptor activation on glucocorticoid receptor (GR)‐mediated transcriptional activity, as well as its effects on leukemic cell proliferation and chemotherapy resistance. We demonstrate that activation of the histamine H2 receptor by its specific agonist, amthamine, enhances GR transcriptional ...

ATP Release and Purinergic Signaling Potentiate β‐Adrenergic Effects on Brown Adipocytes

open access: yesActa Physiologica, Volume 242, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Brown adipose tissue (BAT) specializes in energy consumption and thermogenesis in response to cold stress. Brown adipocytes (BA) express purinergic receptors, yet little is known about the source of extracellular ATP and the role of purinergic signaling, and the potential interaction with β‐adrenergic signaling.

Dualsteric and dual‐acting modulation of muscarinic receptors by antagonist KH‐5

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 19, Page 5769-5790, October 2026.
Abstract Background and purpose Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors are key therapeutic targets, and ligands engaging both orthosteric and allosteric sites may offer improved selectivity and efficacy. Here, we investigated whether the muscarinic antagonist KH‐5 acts as a dualsteric antagonist and defined its mode of interaction with muscarinic receptors.

ADCY4 inhibits cAMP-induced growth of breast cancer by inactivating FAK/AKT and ERK signaling but is frequently silenced by DNA methylation

open access: yesScientific Reports
Local increases in cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) caused by specific adenylyl cyclases (ACs) can selectively modulate related proteins. AC-selective drugs have an advantage in side effect control, and the specific AC may finally be considered as a

Malaria mosquito antimicrobial defence requires immunity and detoxification gene regulation by Lola

open access: yesInsect Molecular Biology, Volume 35, Issue 5, Page 576-593, October 2026.
Malaria mosquito antimicrobial defence requires upregulation of lola. Attenuation of lola in the midgut of Anopheles albimanus mosquitoes inhibits the upregulation of immunity genes induced by challenge. Putative target genes of the Lola transcription factor were revealed by lola attenuation, including Cecropin‐C, Draper, PPAF2, Clip‐domain serine ...
