Advances in the research and application of neurokinin-1 receptor antagonists. [PDF]
Recently, the substance P (SP)/neurokinin-1 receptor (NK-1R) system has been found to be involved in various human pathophysiological disorders including the symptoms of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Besides, studies in the oncological field have demonstrated an intricate correlation between the upregulation of NK-1R and the activation of SP/NK ...

Neurokinin‐1 receptor antagonists for the prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting
AbstractDespite the availability of several classes of antiemetics, postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) remains a substantial burden for patients following surgery, resulting in patient dissatisfaction and prolonged stays in post‐anesthesia care units and ultimately increasing the cost of care.

Upregulation of substance P in low-threshold myelinated afferents is not required for tactile allodynia in the chronic constriction injury and spinal nerve ligation models [PDF]
It has been proposed that substance P and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) are upregulated in low-threshold myelinated primary afferents after certain types of nerve injury, and that release of substance P from these afferents contributes to the ...

Neurokinin-1 receptor antagonists in the prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting [PDF]
Despite major advances, emesis remains a major problem in the context of cancer chemotherapy and in the postoperative period. A better understanding of the relevant neurocircuitry, especially the central pattern generator responsible for emesis and the central role of substance P, led to the development of a new class of antiemetics: the neurokinin-1 ...
