ERNEST COST action overview on the (patho)physiology of GPCRs and orphan GPCRs in the nervous system

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 182, Issue 14, Page 3178-3210, July 2025.
G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) are a large family of cell surface receptors that play a critical role in nervous system function by transmitting signals between cells and their environment. They are involved in many, if not all, nervous system processes, and their dysfunction has been linked to various neurological disorders representing important

Progress on the development of Class A GPCR‐biased ligands

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 182, Issue 14, Page 3249-3300, July 2025.
Class A G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) continue to garner interest for their essential roles in cell signalling and their importance as drug targets. Although numerous drugs in the clinic target these receptors, over 60% GPCRs remain unexploited. Moreover, the adverse effects triggered by the available unbiased GPCR modulators, limit their use and

Repositioning VU‐0365114 as a novel microtubule‐destabilizing agent for treating cancer and overcoming drug resistance

open access: yesMolecular Oncology
Microtubule‐targeting agents represent one of the most successful classes of anticancer agents. However, the development of drug resistance and the appearance of adverse effects hamper their clinical implementation.

A novel chemogenomics analysis of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and their ligands: a potential strategy for receptor de-orphanization. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
BACKGROUND: G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) represent a family of well-characterized drug targets with significant therapeutic value. Phylogenetic classifications may help to understand the characteristics of individual GPCRs and their subtypes ...

Deletion of the M 5 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor attenuates morphine reinforcement and withdrawal but not morphine analgesia [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2002
Little is known about the physiological roles of the M 5 muscarinic receptor, the last member of the muscarinic receptor family (M 1 –M 5 ) to be cloned. In the brain, the M 5 receptor subtype is preferentially expressed by dopaminergic neurons ...

Acetylcholine induces fibrogenic effects via M2/M3 ACh receptors in NASH and in primary human hepatic stellate cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
BACKGROUND: The parasympathetic nervous system (PNS), via neurotransmitter Acetylcholine (ACh), modulates fibrogenesis in animal models. However, the role of ACh in human hepatic fibrogenesis is unclear.

Urothelium muscarinic activation phosphorylates CBS Ser227 via cGMP/PKG pathway causing human bladder relaxation through H 2 S production [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The urothelium modulates detrusor activity through releasing factors whose nature has not been clearly defined. Here we have investigated the involvement of H2S as possible mediator released downstream following muscarinic (M) activation, by using human ...
