Agarwood Essential Oil Displays Sedative-Hypnotic Effects through the GABAergic System

Molecules, 2017
Although agarwood has been used as a tranquilizer in Asian countries for hundreds of years, the underlying pharmacological basis is still unclear. This study investigated the sedative-hypnotic effect of agarwood essential oil (AEO) using locomotor ...

Abietic Acid Enhances the Sedative Activity of Diazepam: In vivo Approach along with Receptor Binding Affinity and Molecular Interaction with the GABAergic System

ChemistryOpen, EarlyView.
Abietic acid (AA) reveals potent sedative potential by expressing fast sleeping onset and increased sleeping duration compare to the control group in thiopental sodium induced sleeping mice. The compound also exhibited notable binding affinity (–7.9 kcal/mol) toward GABAA receptors.

Exploring Linalool‐Based Phytotherapy for Excitatory/Inhibitory Imbalance in Alzheimer's Disease: A Review of Lavender and Cannabis Therapeutic Effects on Sleep, Seizures, and Cognition

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
Schematic overview of the proposed neuromodulatory actions of linalool in Alzheimer's disease. Through multi‐target effects on oxidative stress, amyloid aggregation, GABAergic and glutamatergic signaling, linalool may restore excitatory/inhibitory balance.

Maternal restraint stress delays maturation of cation-chloride cotransporters and GABAA receptor subunits in the hippocampus of rat pups at puberty

Neurobiology of Stress, 2016
The GABAergic synapse undergoes structural and functional maturation during early brain development. Maternal stress alters GABAergic synapses in the pup's brain that are associated with the pathophysiology of neuropsychiatric disorders in adults ...

The oscillatory response of the electroretinogram and neuronal adaptation

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract After more than 50 years, there still remains a challenge and an interest to know more as well as extend and deepen our understanding of the small rapid wavelets, the oscillatory potentials (OPs), of the electroretinogram (ERG) and the neuronal adaptation of the retina.

Is there a role for cannabidiol in obesity, metabolic syndrome and binge eating?

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of the most abundant phytocannabinoids isolated from the Cannabis sativa plant. CBD is a lipophilic, non‐intoxicating substance that differently from Δ9‐tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9‐THC) does not present the typical profile of a drug of abuse.

Novel approaches for drug development against chronic primary pain: A systematic review

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Chronic primary pain (CPP) persisting for more than 3 months, associated with significant emotional distress without any known underlying cause, is an unmet medical need. Traditional or adjuvant analgesics do not provide satisfactory pain relief for a great proportion of these patients.
