Pharmacological receptors of nematoda as target points for action of antiparasitic drugs [PDF]

Veterinarski Glasnik, 2010
Cholinergic receptors of parasitic nematodes are one of the most important possible sites of action of antiparasitic drugs. This paper presents some of our own results of electrophysiological and pharamcological examinations of nicotinic and muscarinic ...

Exploring the pathophysiology underlying clozapine‐induced enhancement of glutamatergic transmission through L‐glutamate and D‐serine release associated with pannexin1 hemichannels

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and purpose Clozapine, an approved antipsychotic for treatment‐resistant schizophrenia (TRS), enhances glutamatergic transmission by increasing exocytosis and non‐exocytosis glutamate release; however, its full action remained to be clarified.

HL-1 cells express an inwardly rectifying K+ current activated via muscarinic receptors comparable to that in mouse atrial myocytes [PDF]

, 2010
An inwardly rectifying K^+ current is present in atrial cardiac myocytes that is activated by acetylcholine (I_{KACh}). Physiologically, activation of the current in the SA node is important in slowing the heart rate with increased parasympathetic tone ...

Basic and Clinical Aspects of Non-neuronal Acetylcholine: Expression of Non-neuronal Acetylcholine in Lung Cancer Provides a New Target for Cancer

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2008
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide and new treatment strategies are clearly needed. The recent discovery that lung and other cancers synthesize and secrete acetylcholine (ACh) which acts as an autocrine growth factor suggests that

Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptor Subtypes as Potential Drug Targets for the Treatment of Schizophrenia, Drug Abuse and Parkinson's Disease.

ACS Chemical Neuroscience, 2012
The neurotransmitter dopamine plays important roles in modulating cognitive, affective, and motor functions. Dysregulation of dopaminergic neurotransmission is thought to be involved in the pathophysiology of several psychiatric and neurological ...

Structure–activity relationship of the allosteric effects of ivermectin at human P2X4 and GABAA receptors

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and purpose Positive allosteric modulation of the P2X4 receptor is a potential route to providing cardiovascular benefit through enhancing flow‐dependent arterial vasodilation and providing cardioprotection. However, ligands that selectively enhance P2X4 activity are absent.

Neuropharmacological targets for drug action in vestibular sensory pathways [PDF]

, 2017
The use of pharmacological agents is often the preferred approach to the management of vestibular dysfunction. In the vestibular sensory pathways, the sensory neuroepithelia are thought to be influenced by a diverse number of neuroactive substances that ...

PAC‐FOS: A novel translational concordance framework identifies preclinical seizure models with highest predictive validity for clinical focal onset seizures

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Central to the development of novel antiseizure medications (ASMs) is testing of antiseizure activity in preclinical models. Although various well‐established models exist, their predictive validity across the spectrum of clinical epilepsies has been less clear.

Dopamine D_2-receptor activation elicits akinesia, rigidity, catalepsy, and tremor in mice expressing hypersensitive 4 nicotinic receptors via a cholinergic-dependent mechanism [PDF]

, 2010
Recent studies suggest that high-affinity neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) containing α4 and β2 subunits (α4β2*) functionally interact with G-protein-coupled dopamine (DA) D_2 receptors in basal ganglia.

Hyperhidrosis: don't sweat it

Internal Medicine Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Hyperhidrosis is an under‐reported and under‐treated condition that causes significant patient morbidity. Secondary causes require consideration, but the vast majority of cases are idiopathic. The condition is encountered by a range of clinicians, including neurologists, dermatologists and endocrinologists, and it pays to be familiar with the ...
