Abstract Endogenous oxytocin plays an important role in lactation, but its effectiveness as an exogenous galactagogue has been modest due to dose‐limiting side effects related to off‐target effects at the vasopressin V2 receptor. Merotocin (FE 202767) is a short‐acting peptidic oxytocin receptor agonist with the potential to aid mothers experiencing ...

Abstract Aims Renal impairment frequently coexists with heart failure (HF) and is associated with increased risk of poor clinical outcomes. This highlights the urgent need for therapies targeting both cardiac and renal dysfunction. AZD3427, a long‐acting recombinant fusion protein and relaxin analogue that selectively activates the relaxin family ...

A Role for Sigma Receptors in Stimulant Self Administration and Addiction
Sigma1 receptors (σ1Rs) represent a structurally unique class of intracellular proteins that function as chaperones. σ1Rs translocate from the mitochondria-associated membrane to the cell nucleus or cell membrane, and through protein-protein interactions

Intramolecular Heck Reactions of Cyclic Sulfonamides: Regiochemical Trends and Reductive Cleavage
The synthesis of a new class of cyclic sulfonamides and their subsequent conversion into substituted N‐heterocycles is reported. Methyl‐substituted tetrahydropyridine and tetrahydro‐azepine Heck precursors are prepared and cyclized to provide a variety of regioisomeric products.

Absence seizures: Update on signaling mechanisms and networks
Abstract Absence seizures (AS) are a hallmark of genetic generalized epilepsies (GGE), characterized by brief episodes of impaired consciousness accompanied by electroencephalographic spike‐and‐wave discharges (SWDs). Traditionally attributed to cortico‐thalamo‐cortical (CTC) dysrhythmia, emerging evidence suggests a more intricate pathophysiological ...

Heteroreceptor complexes and their allosteric receptor-receptor interactions in the central nervous system. Focus on examples from Dopamine D2 and Serotonin 5-HT1a receptors [PDF]
GPCR interacting proteins (specially β- arrestin) and their receptor-protein interactions are also covered but their interactions with the allosteric receptor-receptor interactions in heteroreceptor complexes remain to be elucidated.

Tea and Blood–Brain Barrier Homeostasis: Potential Mechanisms and Improvement Strategies
Abstract The blood–brain barrier (BBB), a selective interface regulating cerebral substance exchange, plays a crucial role in maintaining cognitive function and metabolic balance. While tea consumption has been traditionally associated with health benefits, its specific effects on BBB integrity warrant systematic investigation. This review demonstrates
