Rare but relevant: MDMA and hyponatraemia

Addiction, EarlyView.
Abstract Conventionally used for its stimulant, empathogenic and entactogenic effects, 3,4‐methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA, ecstasy) is one of the most commonly used psychoactive drugs, specifically among young adults and in nightlife and recreational party contexts.

LOUIS HENRI FREDERIC MELSENS Nicotine, potassium iodide, and sulfur compounds

Revista CENIC Ciencias Químicas, 2020
Louis Henri Frédéric Melsens (1814-1886) was a Belgian chemist, student of Dumas and Liebig, who showed the possibility of chlorinating an organic compound by hydrogen substitution; separated nicotine, determined its formula, and proved it was a powerful

5‐Methoxy‐N,N‐dimethyltryptamine (5‐MeO‐DMT) for alcohol use disorder: An open‐label, phase 2, proof‐of‐concept, clinical trial

Addiction, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Aims Psychedelic drugs may help treat alcohol use disorder (AUD). This study evaluated BPL‐003, a novel intranasal powder formulation of 5‐methoxy‐N,N‐dimethyltryptamine (5‐MeO‐DMT) benzoate salt, in people with moderate–severe AUD enrolled in a standard of care, 10‐week programme of relapse‐prevention oriented Cognitive ...

An enzymatic approach reverses nicotine dependence, decreases compulsive-like intake, and prevents relapse. [PDF]

, 2018
Tobacco use disorder is the leading cause of disease and preventable death worldwide, but current medications that are based on pharmacodynamics have low efficacy.

Acetylcholine From Solitary Chemosensory Cell, Not Neuron, Regulates Basal Cell Fate Driving Eosinophilic Chronic Rhinosinusitis With Nasal Polyps

Allergy, EarlyView.
This study identifies that Ach levels are elevated in eCRSwNP and primarily released from SCCs rather than neurons. Ach induces epithelial remodeling in eCRSwNP by binding to M1R/M3R and activating YAP signaling in basal cells, driving basal cell hyperplasia and abnormal differentiation. Blocking M1R/M3R with TB inhibits eCRSwNP progression.

The pH Dependent Interaction between Nicotine and Simulated Pulmonary Surfactant Monolayers with Associated Molecular Modelling [PDF]

, 2017
Pulmonary surfactant is an endogenous material that lines and stabilises the alveolar air-liquid interface. Respiratory mechanics can be compromised by exposure to environmental toxins such as cigarette vapour, which contains nicotine. This study aims to

Profiling of HCAR1 signalling reveals Gαi/o and Gαs activation without β‐arrestin recruitment and the discovery of an allosteric agonist

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Lactate, historically viewed as a metabolic by‐product, has emerged as a signalling molecule via the G protein–coupled receptor Hydroxycarboxylic Acid Receptor 1 (HCAR1). The receptor is primarily expressed in adipocytes but also found in various other tissues.

Ribosomal Synthesis of Topologically Defined Thioisoindole‐Bridged Bicyclic Peptides

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 2, 9 January 2026.
A flexible in vitro translation (FIT) system‐based strategy for ribosomal synthesis of thioisoindole‐bridged bicyclic (TiB) peptides is developed. The flexizyme substrate Ac‐Ala(NtBA)Sc‐CME is efficiently incorporated into FIT to generate ribosomal peptides bearing N‐terminal Ac‐Ala(NtBA)Sc as the cyclization handle, which after mild deprotection ...

Charge Transfer-oxy Radical Mechanism for Anti-cancer Agents [PDF]

, 1986
The proposal is advanced that anti-cancer drugs generally function by charge transfer resulting in formation of toxic oxy radicals which destroy the neoplasm.
