Nicotine dependence and genetic variation in the nicotinic receptors [PDF]

Drug and Alcohol Dependence, 2009
Technological advances have led to the discovery of genetic variants that contribute to many illnesses including nicotine dependence. A multi-stage model of the development of nicotine dependence underlies these genetic studies, and it includes a progression through several stages of smoking behavior from never smoking to nicotine dependence. The final

Inclusion Complexations of Levamisole and Cocaine With Molecular Baskets. Fluorescence Displacement Assay for Detection of Cocaine and Its Adulterant Levamisole in Aqueous Media

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Levamisole is a common adulterant found in street‐distributed cocaine. Molecular baskets have been shown to form stable inclusion complexes with both substances. While levamisole inserts its benzene into the basket's cavity, cocaine utilizes its bicyclic ring for encapsulation.

Changes in conformation and subcellular distribution of alpha(4)beta(2) nicotinic acetylcholine receptors revealed by chronic nicotine treatment and expression of subunit chimeras

, 2002
Chronic exposure to nicotine, as occurs during tobacco smoking, is one of several factors that have been reported to cause an upregulation of neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs).

Molecular characterisation of insect nicotinic acetylcholine receptors [PDF]

, 2003
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are pentameric multi-subunit proteins that form ligand-gated ion channels in the central nervous systems of vertebrates and invertebrates and at the neuromuscular junction of vertebrate species. In insects, they

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.
