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

open access: yes, 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.

Structural Mechanism of an Efficacy Photoswitch Targeting the β2‐adrenergic Receptor

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
Time‐resolved structures from x‐ray free‐electron laser measurements combined with cellular assays demonstrate how the photoswitchable β‐blocker photoazolol‐1 acts as an efficacy switch of β2‐adrenergic receptor function. Light‐induced ligand repositioning shifts activity from inverse agonism toward neutral antagonism by altering local helical ...

BRONCHIAL ASTHMA THERAPY IN SMART-REGIME: STUDIES IN REAL CLINICAL PRACTICE

open access: yesМедицинский совет, 2016
Despite considerable progress in development of effective therapeutic means, numerous studies are indicative of the insufficient BA control level resulting in reduction of patient life quality as well as to the high risk of disease exacerbations.

Solubilisation and binding characteristics of a recombinant β2-adrenergic receptor expressed in the membrane of Escherichia coli for the multianalyte detection of β-agonists and antagonists residues in food-producing animals

open access: yesAnalytica Chimica Acta, 2007
The number of substances with beta-agonistic activity, illegally introduced in meat production or in sports doping as anabolic or beta-blocking agents is increasing. Analytical methods suited for their multianalyte detection are thus necessary. In this perspective, receptor assays were developed.

The effect of adding inhaled corticosteroids to tiotropium and long-acting beta(2)-agonists for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (Review) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
BackgroundLong-acting bronchodilators comprising long-acting beta(2)-agonists and the anticholinergic agent tiotropiumare commonly used, either on their own or in combination, for managing persistent symptoms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ...

Drug‐Induced Raynaud's Phenomenon and Underlying Mechanism: A Disproportionality Analysis From the World Health Organization Pharmacovigilance Database

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objectives The aim of this study is to generate hypotheses about unknown drugs associated with the onset or worsening of Raynaud's phenomenon (RP) and to explore their potential pathophysiologic mechanisms through a mixed disproportionality/clustering analysis from the World Health Organization (WHO) pharmacovigilance database.

A reliable assay for beta-adrenoceptors in intact isolated human fat cells with a hydrophilic radioligand, [3H]CGP-12177.

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1988
The beta-adrenergic receptors of isolated human fat cells were identified using a new hydrophilic beta-adrenergic radioligand (+/-)[3H]CGP-12177. The results were compared with those from [3H]dihydroalprenolol binding to fat cells and membranes.

Beta-2 adrenergic receptor agonism alters astrocyte phagocytic activity and has potential applications to psychiatric disease

open access: yesDiscover Mental Health, 2023
Schizophrenia is a debilitating condition necessitating more efficacious therapies. Previous studies suggested that schizophrenia development is associated with aberrant synaptic pruning by glial cells.

Catecholamine-induced vasoconstriction is sensitive to carbonic anhydrase I activation

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2001
We studied the relationship between alpha- and beta-adrenergic agonists and the activity of carbonic anhydrase I and II in erythrocyte, clinical and vessel studies. Kinetic studies were performed.
