The path to the G protein‐coupled receptor structural landscape: Major milestones and future directions

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) play a crucial role in cell function by transducing signals from the extracellular environment to the inside of the cell. They mediate the effects of various stimuli, including hormones, neurotransmitters, ions, photons, food tastants and odorants, and are renowned drug targets.

Antihyperalgesic Effect of Buprenorphine Involves Nociceptin/Orphanin FQ Peptide–Receptor Activation in Rats With Spinal Nerve Injury–Induced Neuropathy

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2013
.: We evaluated the effect of buprenorphine, a mixed agonist for μ-opioid receptors and nociceptin/orphanin FQ peptide (NOP) receptors, in neuropathic rats, using the paw pressure test. Buprenorphine, administered i.p. at 50, but not 20, μg/kg, exhibited

Novel FKBP prolyl isomerase 1A (FKBP12) ligand promotes functional improvement in SOD1G93A amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) mice

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 182, Issue 11, Page 2466-2486, June 2025.
Background and Purpose Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating neurodegenerative disease with limited treatment options. ALS pathogenesis involves intricate processes within motor neurons, characterized by dysregulated Ca2+ influx and buffering in early ALS‐affected motor neurones. This study proposes the modulation of ryanodine receptors (

A GLP‐1R/Y1 receptor/Y2 receptor triple agonist decreases fentanyl‐evoked dopamine release in the nucleus accumbens and attenuates fentanyl taking and seeking in rats

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Emerging literature indicates that simultaneously targeting glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptors (GLP‐1Rs) and neuropeptide Y receptors (Y1/Y2) may represent a new pharmacotherapeutic approach to treating opioid use disorder (OUD).

Opioid receptors in cardiovascular function

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Opioid receptors are G protein‐coupled receptors expressed by various cells in the heart, including myocytes and nerve fibres, and play a crucial role in modulating cardiac function. These receptors influence neural transmission, heart rate and myocyte contractility, offering cardioprotection.
