Identifying Ligand Binding Conformations of the β2-Adrenergic Receptor by Using Its Agonists as Computational Probes [PDF]
Recently available G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) structures and biophysical studies suggest that the difference between the effects of various agonists and antagonists cannot be explained by single structures alone, but rather that the conformational

Alpha-1 adrenergic receptor antagonists to prevent hyperinflammation and death from lower respiratory tract infection [PDF]
In severe viral pneumonia, including Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), the viral replication phase is often followed by hyperinflammation, which can lead to acute respiratory distress syndrome, multi-organ failure, and death. We previously demonstrated that alpha-1 adrenergic receptor ($\alpha_1$-AR) antagonists can prevent hyperinflammation and ...

Novel Mutants of the Human β1-Adrenergic Receptor Reveal Amino Acids Relevant for Receptor Activation [PDF]
Activation of G protein-coupled receptors like the beta(1)-adrenergic receptor results in conformational changes that ultimately lead to signal propagation through a G protein to an effector like adenylyl cyclase.

CARVEDILOL AS PRIMARY PROPHYLAXIS FOR GASTRIC VARICEAL BLEEDING IN PORTAL HYPERTENSION MODEL IN RATS
Background: Portal hypertension (PH) can be measured indirectly through a hepatic vein pressure gradient greater than 5 mmHg. Cirrhosis is the leading cause for PH and can present as complications ascites, hepatic dysfunction, renal dysfunction, and ...

Analgesic Efficacy of Perioperative Esmolol as an Adjunct to Morphine in Mastectomy- A Prospective Observational Study [PDF]
Introduction: Multimodal analgesia with opioids as the prime component is the mainstay of postoperative analgesia for mastectomy, which can lead to many opioid related unwanted side-effects.
