2-Arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) is recognized as a potent endocannabinoid, which reduces synaptic transmission through cannabinoid CB1 receptors, and is hydrolyzed by monoacylglycerol lipase (MGL) to arachidonic acid (AA), a cyclooxygenase substrate.

IV. Effects of bombesin on behavior [PDF]
This report describes the influence of bombesin on the gross behavior of goldfish, frogs, mice, rats, guinea pigs, rabbits, chicks, pigeons and monkeys. Goldfish, frogs, chicks and pigeons were overtly unaffected by bombesin given centrally and/or peripherally. Mice, rats, guinea pigs, rabbits and monkeys responded quickly to intracerebroventricular (i.

Bombesin receptor-targeted liposomes for enhanced delivery to lung cancer cells
Background: Gastrin-releasing peptide is a member of the bombesin family of peptides. Its cognate receptor, gastrin releasing peptide receptor (GRPR), is widely expressed in cancers of the lung, pancreas and ovaries. Gastrin releasing peptide (GRP) is an

Effects of Bombesin and Bombesin-Like Peptides on Gastrointestinal Myoelectric Activity
Gastrointestinal myoelectric activity was studied during intravenous infusion of bombesin and bombesin-like peptides in conscious dogs with electrodes chronically implanted at different levels between the stomach and the rectum. The peptides used were bombesin, the COOH-terminal hepta- octa-, and nonapeptide of bombesin, and litorin, a new natural ...

Synthesis and Properties of Targeted Radioisotope Carriers Based on Poly(Acrylic Acid) Nanogels
Radiation crosslinking was employed to obtain nanocarriers based on poly(acrylic acid)—PAA—for targeted delivery of radioactive isotopes. These nanocarriers are internally crosslinked hydrophilic macromolecules—nanogels—bearing carboxylic groups to ...

Bombesin-Induced Gastroprotection
Bombesin is an endogenous gut peptide that is prominent in the stomach. In addition to its effects on modulating acid and gut peptide secretion, recent evidence indicates that bombesin is a potent gastroprotective agent. This review article examines the ability of bombesin to prevent gastric injury.

Neuropeptide G Protein-Coupled Receptors as Oncotargets
Neuropeptide G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are overexpressed on numerous cancer cells. In a number of tumors, such as small cell lung cancer (SCLC), bombesin (BB) like peptides and neurotensin (NTS) function as autocrine growth factors whereby they

A phosphorescent iridium(III) complex has been prepared with a 6‐hydrazinonicotinic acid (HYNIC) ligand tethered to a lysine‐ureido‐glutamatic acid pharmacophore, which binds to an enzyme, called prostate‐specific membrane antigen (PSMA), which is overexpressed in prostate cancer.
