NSAIDS AS MODULATORS OF CATION CHANNELS: FENAMATES REPURPOSING IN CHANNELOPATHIES

open access: yesChemMedChem, Accepted Article.
Cationic ion channels are transmembrane proteins that regulate the flux of cations (potassium, sodium, and calcium) across cell membrane, playing a pivotal role in many cellular functions. Disruptions of their activity can lead to the so‐called genetic or acquired channelopathies, a heterogeneous group of diseases that affect multiple human systems ...

A tight coupling between β\u3csub\u3e2\u3c/sub\u3eY97 and β\u3csub\u3e2\u3c/sub\u3eF200 of the GABA\u3csub\u3eA\u3c/sub\u3e receptor mediates GABA binding [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The GABAA receptor is an oligopentameric chloride channel that is activated via conformation changes induced upon the binding of the endogenous ligand, GABA, to the extracellular inter-subunit interfaces. Although dozens of amino acid residues at the α/β

Safety and Efficacy of the NMDA‐2b‐Selective Negative Allosteric Modulator BI 1569912: A Phase Ib Randomized Trial in Major Depressive Disorder

open access: yesClinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Selective N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate receptor subunit 2b negative allosteric modulators (NR2B NAMs) are being explored as potential new treatment options for major depressive disorder (MDD). This Phase Ib, randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled, parallel‐group trial was conducted in adults (N = 59) with moderate‐to‐severe MDD and insufficient response ...

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

open access: yes, 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 ...

Wetlands as environments of early human occupation: A new classification for freshwater palaeowetlands

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, EarlyView.
A new classification for inland freshwater palaeowetlands to be used in the field or core laboratory by sedimentologists, providing examples from the Guadix Basin (southern Spain). Abstract Present wetlands have proven to be delicate, biodiverse ecosystems, that are natural sinks for CO2 and act as good indicators for climate changes.

Pathophysiological role of extrasynaptic GABAA receptors in typical absence epilepsy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
GABA is the principal inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian CNS. It acts via two classes of receptors, the GABAA, a ligand gated ion channel (ionotropic receptor) and the metabotropic G-protein coupled GABAB receptor.

Seminars in epileptology: How to diagnose status epilepticus in adults and children

open access: yesEpileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Status epilepticus (SE) can be regarded as the most severe expression of seizure activity characterized by a low probability of spontaneous cessation and mechanisms leading to metabolic and inflammatory derangements with increased risk of brain damage, alterations of neural networks, and potentially life‐threatening systemic complications ...

Status non‐epilepticus

open access: yesEpileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Status non‐epilepticus is characterized by recurrent or prolonged psychogenic non‐epileptic seizures (PNES), which are often mistaken for status epilepticus (SE). This study focuses on the misdiagnosis of convulsive SE in patients whose seizures were of psychogenic origin.
