Increased novelty-induced locomotion, sensitivity to amphetamine, and extracellular dopamine in striatum of Zdhhc15-deficient mice

Translational Psychiatry, 2021
Novelty-seeking behaviors and impulsivity are personality traits associated with several psychiatric illnesses including attention deficits hyperactivity disorders. The underlying neural mechanisms remain poorly understood.

Psychedelics, entactogens and psychoplastogens for depression and related disorders

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Currently, the most actively investigated rapidly acting antidepressants, anxiolytics and/or anti PTSD agents, include psychedelics e.g. psilocybin, LSD, N,N‐dimethyltryptamine, ayahuasca; non‐hallucinogenic entactogens, e.g. MDMA; psychoplastogens which rapidly promote neuroplasticity, e.g.

3,4‐Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) does not induce robust psychomotor activation and 50‐kHz ultrasonic vocalisations in tryptophan hydroxylase 2 (Tph2)‐deficient rats lacking serotonin in the central nervous system

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose 3,4‐Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), commonly known as ecstasy, is a psychostimulant with entactogenic properties and known to induce arousal and euphoria. As an amphetamine derivate, MDMA acts on the monoamine systems in the brain and stimulates release of dopamine (DA), noradrenaline (NA) and serotonin (5‐HT), yet their ...

Evaluation of preclinical antipsychotic models used to support first‐in‐human clinical trials

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Schizophrenia is regarded as a complex and heterogeneous psychiatric disorder, characterised by diverse symptoms and comorbidities, which complicate both clinical management and drug development. Current pharmacological treatment, primarily based on dopamine D2 receptor antagonism or partial agonism, which has not markedly progressed since the

Effects of depressive symptoms and peripheral DAT methylation on neural reactivity to alcohol cues in alcoholism

Translational Psychiatry, 2015
In alcohol-dependent (AD) patients, alcohol cues induce strong activations in brain areas associated with alcohol craving and relapse, such as the nucleus accumbens (NAc) and amygdala.

Disruption of the l‐DOPA Receptor Gpr143/OA1‐Gene in Mice Creates a Unique Mixed Psychosis‐Like Phenotype

Neuropsychopharmacology Reports, Volume 46, Issue 1, March 2026.
We analyzed the behavior of GPR143 gene‐deficient mice. GPR143‐KO mice displayed a mixed psychiatric phenotype. GPR143 may play a role in mesolimbic and mesocortical functions underlying sensory gating, reward, social hierarchy, cognition, and emotional regulation. ABSTRACT GPR143, originally identified as the gene product of ocular albinism 1 (OA1), a

Development of a Fluorescently Labeled Ligand for Rapid Detection of DAT in Human and Mouse Peripheral Blood Monocytes

JACS Au
The dopamine transporter (DAT) is one of the key regulators of dopamine (DA) signaling in the central nervous system (CNS) and in the periphery. Recent reports in a model of Parkinson’s disease (PD) have shown that dopamine neuronal loss in the CNS ...

Trafficking of the human Na+/H+ antiporter NHA2 to the plasma membrane requires cornichon COPII cargo receptors

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract A key prerequisite of transporter proteins' function is their trafficking to the target cellular membranes where they fulfill distinct physiological roles. Cornichon proteins (CNIH/Erv14) represent a highly conserved family of coat protein complex II (COPII)‐coated vesicle cargo receptors that facilitate the exit of numerous transporters from ...

Discovery of a Novel and Potent Kir4.1 Inhibitor as a Safe and Rapid‐Onset Antidepressant Agent in Mice

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 9, 13 February 2026.
The preferred derivative JX3212 demonstrates strong inhibitory activity against Kir4.1 with favorable druggability and shows significant antidepressant efficacy in vivo. Abstract Major depressive disorder is a serious psychiatric disorder for which novel and fast‐acting antidepressants are required.

Gezielte Modulation des spliceosomalen Proteins USP39 durch allosterische Liganden und PROTAC‐induzierte Degradation

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 5, 28 January 2026.
Proteolysis‐targeting Chimeras (PROTACs) ermöglichen die gezielte Degradation bislang als „undruggable“ geltende Proteine über das zelluläre Ubiquitin–Proteasom‐System. In dieser Studie identifizieren Schäfer et al. thiazolbasierte niedermolekulare Liganden, die allosterisch an die Zinkfinger‐Domäne der Ubiquitin‐spezifischen Protease 39 (USP39) binden
