Genomic Insights Into Risperidone Treatment Outcomes in Children and Adolescents: Experience From a Psychiatric Hospital Serving Rural Youth

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Risperidone is a commonly used antipsychotic for treating psychiatric illness in children and adolescents. There is a large variability in risperidone response and discontinuation rates remain high. Pharmacogenomics offers the opportunity to improve risperidone outcomes, yet studies in pediatric populations are limited.

α7 Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor Stimulation Inhibits Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Interleukin-18 and -12 Production in Monocytes

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2006
Nicotine inhibited interleukin (IL)-18 and -12 production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated monocytes, and the action of nicotine was antagonized by a non-selective and a selective α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7-nAChR) antagonist ...

Fhod3 in zebrafish supports myofibril stability during growth of embryonic skeletal muscle

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Actin filament organization in cardiomyocytes critically depends on the formin Fhod3, but a role for Fhod3 in skeletal muscle development has not yet been described. Results We demonstrate here that in zebrafish mutated for one of two fhod3 paralog genes, fhod3a, skeletal muscle of the trunk appears normal through 2 days post ...

Acetylcholine receptor based chemogenetics engineered for neuronal inhibition and seizure control assessed in mice

Nature Communications
Epilepsy is a prevalent disorder involving neuronal network hyperexcitability, yet existing therapeutic strategies often fail to provide optimal patient outcomes. Chemogenetic approaches, where exogenous receptors are expressed in defined brain areas and

Structural model of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor isotypes bound to acetylcholine and nicotine [PDF]

BMC Structural Biology, 2002
Nicotine is a psychoactive drug presenting a diverse array of biological activities, some positive, such as enhancement of cognitive performances, others negative, such as addiction liability. Ligands that discriminate between the different isotypes of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) could present improved pharmacology and toxicity profile ...

Precision therapies for genetic epilepsies in 2025: Promises and pitfalls

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract By targeting the underlying etiology, precision therapies offer an exciting paradigm shift to improve the stagnant outcomes of drug‐resistant epilepsies, including developmental and epileptic encephalopathies. Unlike conventional antiseizure medications (ASMs) which only treat the symptoms (seizures) but have no effect on the underlying ...

EAT-18 is an essential auxiliary protein interacting with the non-alpha nAChR subunit EAT-2 to form a functional receptor.

PLoS Pathogens, 2020
Nematode parasites infect approximately 1.5 billion people globally and are a significant public health concern. There is an accepted need for new, more effective anthelmintic drugs.

Alpha7 Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor Is a Target in Pharmacology and Toxicology

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2012
Alpha7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7 nAChR) is an important part of the cholinergic nerve system in the brain. Moreover, it is associated with a cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway in the termination of the parasympathetic nervous system ...

Cytotoxicity of 19 Pesticides in Rainbow Trout Gill, Liver, and Intestinal Cell Lines

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, EarlyView.
Abstract The rainbow trout gill cell line (RTgill‐W1), via test guideline 249 of the Organisation for Economic Co‐operation and Development, has been established as a promising New Approach Methodology, although to advance confidence in the method more case studies are needed that: 1) expand our understanding of applicability domains (chemicals with ...
