Characterisation of the novel quinoline RCD405: Relaxant effects on cholinergic and histaminergic tone in human bronchi and small airways

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Increased contractility of human airway smooth muscle (hASM) is a hallmark of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Developing new classes of bronchodilators has proved to be challenging because of efficacy and safety concerns.

Normal and Pathological Tau Uptake Mediated by M1/M3 Muscarinic Receptors Promotes Opposite Neuronal Changes

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2019
The microtubule associated protein tau is mainly found in the cell’s cytosol but recently it was also shown in the extracellular space. In neurodegenerative diseases, like Alzheimer’s disease (AD), pathological tau spreads from neuron to neuron enhancing

Mapping the druggable allosteric space of G-protein coupled receptors: a fragment-based molecular dynamics approach. [PDF]

, 2010
To address the problem of specificity in G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) drug discovery, there has been tremendous recent interest in allosteric drugs that bind at sites topographically distinct from the orthosteric site. Unfortunately, structure-based

Polypharmacy in mice disrupts left ventricular function and structure and promotes proteome reorganisation in an age‐ and sex‐specific fashion

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Most older people use polypharmacy (≥5 medications), particularly those with cardiovascular disease. The effects of polypharmacy on the cardiovascular system are not well described. We examined the effect of a chronic polypharmacy regimen on left ventricular (LV) function, structure and proteome in young and old mice of both ...

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.

Functional characterization of three G protein-coupled acetylcholine receptors in parasitic nematode Trichinella spiralis

International Journal for Parasitology: Drugs and Drug Resistance, 2023
The physiological significance of metabotropic acetylcholine receptors in parasitic nematodes remains largely unexplored. Here, three different Trichinella spiralis G protein-coupled acetylcholine receptors (TsGAR-1, -2, and -3) were identified in the ...

A Subpopulation of Neuronal M4 Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptors Plays a Critical Role in Modulating Dopamine-Dependent Behaviors

Journal of Neuroscience, 2010
Acetylcholine (ACh) regulates many key functions of the CNS by activating cell surface receptors referred to as muscarinic ACh receptors (M1–M5 mAChRs).

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.
