Due to the progressive aging of the society, the prevalence and socioeconomic burden of neurodegenerative diseases are predicted to rise. The most common neurodegenerative disorders nowadays, such as Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, can be classified as proteinopathies.

Monoamine transporter and receptor interaction profiles of novel psychoactive substances: para-halogenated amphetamines and pyrovalerone cathinones [PDF]
The pharmacology of novel psychoactive substances is mostly unknown. We evaluated the transporter and receptor interaction profiles of a series of para-(4)-substituted amphetamines and pyrovalerone cathinones.

Pharmacology of novel psychoactive substances [PDF]
This PhD work consists of an in vitro and in vivo part. In the in vivo part, we investigated the role of dopamine in the acute clinical effects of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA, “ecstasy”) in healthy human subjects.

Receptor interaction profiles of novel psychoactive tryptamines compared with classic hallucinogens [PDF]
The present study investigated interactions between the novel psychoactive tryptamines DiPT, 4-OH-DiPT, 4-OH-MET, 5-MeO-AMT, and 5-MeO-MiPT at monoamine receptors and transporters compared with the classic hallucinogens lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD ...

Bedeutung des Neurotoxins MPTP für Ätiologie und Therapie der idiopathischen Parkinsonkrankheit [Significance of the neurotoxin 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine for the etiology and therapy of idiopathic Parkinson disease] [PDF]
Exposure of drug addicts to MPTP (1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine) has caused a Parkinsonian syndrome accompanied by a selective destruction of dopamine containing neurones in the pars compacta of the substantia nigra.

Clinical Studies with Mazindol [PDF]
AbstractAn anoerxiant, mazindol suppresses food intake by 1)stimulating β‐adrenergic receptors, 2)inhibiting the feeding center and, 3)stimulating the satiety center in the hypothalamus. In Japan, mazindol is available for clinical use. We examined the effects of mazindol on 1) body weight, appetite, and abnormalities of obesity‐related diseases in ...

Subanesthetic ketamine treatment promotes abnormal interactions between neural subsystems and alters the properties of functional brain networks [PDF]
Acute treatment with subanesthetic ketamine, a non-competitive N-methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA) receptor antagonist, is widely utilized as a translational model for schizophrenia. However, how acute NMDA receptor blockade impacts on brain functioning at a
