Endothelium‐Independent Relaxation of Alkaloid Boldine in Isolated Aortas From Normotensive and Hypertensive Rats: Participation of Ca2+ Channels

Chemistry &Biodiversity, EarlyView.
Involvement of Ca2+ channels in boldine‐induced vascular relaxation. ABSTRACT The regulation of vascular tone plays a fundamental role in blood pressure homeostasis and still represents a significant challenge in clinical practice. Boldine, a naturally occurring alkaloid from Peumus boldus, has emerged as a compound of interest due to its therapeutic ...

Identification, expression and functional characterization of M4L, a muscarinic acetylcholine M4 receptor splice variant. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Rodent genomic alignment sequences support a 2-exon model for muscarinic M4 receptor. Using this model a novel N-terminal extension was discovered in the human muscarinic acetylcholine M4 receptor. An open reading frame was discovered in the human, mouse

Population Pharmacokinetic and Exposure‐Response Analysis of the Cognitive Effects of TAK‐071 in Participants With Parkinson Disease and Cognitive Impairment

Clinical Pharmacology in Drug Development, EarlyView.
Abstract TAK‐071 is a novel muscarinic M1 positive allosteric modulator under investigation for the treatment of cognitive impairment and falls associated with Parkinson disease (PD). This study evaluated population pharmacokinetics of TAK‐071 following single (1‐160 mg) and multiple (3‐15 mg once daily) oral‐dose TAK‐071 in 112 healthy participants ...

Two Types of Cation Channel Activated by Stimulation of Muscarinic Receptors in Guinea-Pig Urinary Bladder Smooth Muscle

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2008
The present study, aiming to elucidate ion channel mechanisms underlying muscarinic receptor–induced depolarization, has characterized membrane currents induced by carbachol in single guinea-pig urinary bladder myocytes. Application of carbachol to cells

Solifenacin-induced acute psychosis: a case report

General Psychiatry, 2021
Solifenacin is a muscarinic receptor antagonist that has been used to treat overactive bladder since 2004. It has a great affinity for the detrusor M3 receptor, which must be stimulated for bladder muscle contraction, and demonstrates the most selective ...

The Feasibility and Quality of the European Prescribing Exam: An International Multicenter Pilot Study Among 3109 Medical Students From 16 Medical Schools

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
The WHO Global Patient Safety Challenge “Medication Without Harm” emphasizes the need to improve doctors' prescribing competence. Junior doctors are particularly at risk of prescribing errors due to inadequate training. To address this, the European Prescribing Exam was developed to standardize and improve clinical pharmacology and therapeutics (CPT ...

Involvement of GABAB receptor in the antihypersensitive effect in anterior cingulate cortex of partial sciatic nerve ligation model

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2018
The role of the GABAB receptor in the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) of neuropathic pain is unclear. Injection of a GABAB receptor antagonist CGP35348 into the ACC induced mechanical hypersensitivity in normal rats.
