Chemotherapeutic agents do not interact with neurotransmitter receptors
Cancer Chemotherapy and Pharmacology, 1987The interactions of cisplatin, 5-fluorouracil, doxorubicin, mitomycin, carmustine (BCNU), cyclophosphamide, methotrexate and thio-TEPA were assessed at three neurotransmitter receptor binding sites. Each drug was inactive at concentrations as high as 10(-4) M in displacing the specific binding of 3H-spiperone to dopamine D2, 3H-pyrilamine to histamine ...

Do Dual-Action Neurotransmitter Agents Offer an Advantage in Psychiatric Treatment?
CNS Spectrums, 2001ABSTRACTAntidepressant treatments have evolved over the last 20 years, and many new drugs with complex mechanisms of action are available. It has become apparent that mechanism of action is significant in terms of treatment impact. We may have some capacity to predict the potential outcomes of treatment based on what drugs we use. Depression management

Neurotransmitter Interactions and Responsivity to Cholinomimetic Agents
1992There is now overwhelming evidence for the involvement of forebrain cholinergic systems in Alzheimer’s disease and the cognitive processes that subserve learning and memory (Perry et al., 1978; Bigl et al., 1987; Koshimura et al., 1987; Doucette et al., 1986; Ichimiya et al., 1986; Saper et al., 1985;Whitehouse, 1986; McGeer et al., 1984; Mann et al ...

Abstract— The effects of 121 mm‐K+, 10 mm‐glutamate, 5 mm‐GABA, 1 mm‐glycine, 0.1 mm‐NE, and 1–10 μmACh on cyclic GMP levels in tissue slices prepared from cerebral cortex and cerebellum of mouse, rabbit, guinea‐pig, cat, and rat were studied. Basal levels of cyclic GMP in the cerebella of mice, guinea‐pigs and cats were 4–15 and 70 pmol/mg prot in rat,

Abstract : GABA, which is present in the brain in large amounts, is distributed among distinctly different cellular pools, possibly reflecting its multiple functions as metabolite, neurotransmitter, and neurotrophin. Its metabolic enzymes also exhibit heterogeneity, because glutamate decarboxylase exists in two isoforms with different subcellular ...

One of the phasic phenomena of REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, the ponto-geniculo-occipital (PGO) waves, are induced in cats by either depleting brain monoamines with the benzoquinolizine derivative Ro 4-1284 or inhibiting the synthesis of 5-hydroxy-tryptamine (5-HT) by p-chlorophenylalanine (PCPA). The effects of the most important psychotropic agents

The effects of atropine (5 mg/kg), baclofen (10 mg/kg), gamma-hydroxybutyrate (300 mg/kg), gamma-butyrolactone (100 mg/kg) and muscimol (1 mg/kg) upon the action of 2-amino-5-phosphonovalerate (APV; an antagonist at receptors for N-methyl-D-aspartate) on the threshold current for seizures induced by electroshock, were studied in mice.

Isolated monkey cerebral arteries denuded of the endothelium responded to transmural electrical stimulation (5 Hz for 40 sec) with relaxations that are mediated by nitric oxide (NO) synthesized from L-arginine. The relaxant response was slightly inhibited by duroquinone, a superoxide anion-generating agent.

Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews, 1994
Gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB) is a catabolite in brain of gamma-aminobutyrate (GABA) and is also found in nonneuronal tissues. It is present in the brain at about one thousandth of the concentration of its parent compound. High affinity and specific uptake, and energy dependent transport systems for GHB have been described in brain in addition to a class

The purpose of this study is to determine whether differences in membrane potential and/or intracellular Ca2+ increments are implicated in a programmed release of amino acid neurotransmitters (aspartate, glutamate, glycine and GABA) in cortical neurons in culture.
