Distribution of dissociation constant values of muscarinic agonists

Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology, 1989
AbstractThe frequency distributions of dissociation constant values of some muscarinic agonists (carbachol, muscarone and cis-2-methyl-5-trimethylammoniummethyl-1,3-oxathiolane) obtained on guinea-pig ileum and atria and rat urinary bladder have been examined to see if the means of the dissociation constant values and the statistical tests for their ...

GPCR‐G protein signalling and its mutational landscape in cancer—Driver or passenger

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) play a crucial role in cellular signalling, regulating various physiological processes. Abnormal expression and mutations of GPCRs have been implicated in several types of cancer, influencing tumour initiation, progression and immune response.

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.
