Nature's Starships II: Simulating the Synthesis of Amino Acids in Meteorite Parent Bodies

, 2015
Carbonaceous chondrite meteorites are known for having high water and organic material contents, including amino acids. Here we address the origin of amino acids in the warm interiors of their parent bodies (planetesimals) within a few million years of ...

Neuroactive steroids in depression and anxiety disorders: Clinical studies [PDF]

, 2006
Certain neuroactive steroids modulate ligand-gated ion channels via non-genomic mechanisms. Especially 3 alpha-reduced pregnane steroids are potent positive allosteric modulators of the gamma-aminobutyric acid type A (GABA(A)) receptor.

γ-Aminobutyric Acid Regulates Both the Survival and Replication of Human β-Cells

Diabetes, 2013
γ-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) has been shown to inhibit apoptosis of rodent β-cells in vitro. In this study, we show that activation of GABAA receptors (GABAA-Rs) or GABAB-Rs significantly inhibits oxidative stress–related β-cell apoptosis and preserves ...

Establishing an Ion Pair Interaction in the Homomeric {rho}1 {gamma}-Aminobutyric Acid Type A Receptor That Contributes to the Gating Pathway [PDF]

, 2007
{gamma}-Aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA) receptors are members of the Cys-loop superfamily of ligand-gated ion channels. Upon agonist binding, the receptor undergoes a structural transition from the closed to the open state, but the mechanism of gating ...

Digitization of multistep organic synthesis in reactionware for on-demand pharmaceuticals [PDF]

, 2018
Chemical manufacturing is often done at large facilities that require a sizable capital investment and then produce key compounds for a finite period. We present an approach to the manufacturing of fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals in a self-contained ...

l-Amino Acid Production by a Immobilized Double-Racemase Hydantoinase Process: Improvement and Comparison with a Free Protein System [PDF]

, 2017
Protein immobilization is proving to be an environmentally friendly strategy for manufacturing biochemicals at high yields and low production costs. This work describes the optimization of the so-called “double-racemase hydantoinase process,” a system of

Contribution of Addictovigilance data to assess adverse‐events linked to psychoactive substances in children and adolescents

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims We sought to characterize adverse events and deaths associated with the use of psychoactive substances in children and adolescents. Methods Two French Addictovigilance databases were analysed: spontaneous reports and deaths over the period 2016–2021, in subjects aged 10–<18 years. An unsupervised classification was implemented on consumption data (
