Lipo-endomorphin-1 derivatives with systemic activity against neuropathic pain without producing constipation. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
To enhance the drug-like properties of the endogenous opioid peptide endomorphin-1 (1 = Tyr-Pro-Trp-Phe-NH(2)), the N-terminus of the peptide was modified with 2-aminodecanoic acid, resulting in compound 3.

BmK-YA, an enkephalin-like peptide in scorpion venom. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
By screening extracts of venom from the Asian scorpion Buthus martensii Karsch (BmK) for their abilities to activate opioid receptors, we have identified BmK-YA, an amidated peptide containing an enkephalin-like sequence. BmK-YA is encoded by a precursor

Lipid- and sugar-modified endomorphins: Novel targets for the treatment of neuropathic pain

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2013
Endomorphins are endogenous opioid peptides that cause potent antinociception in rodent models of acute and neuropathic pain with less undesirable side effects than opioid alkaloids.

Mammalian Tolerance to Amino Acid Heterochirality

ChemBioChem, Accepted Article.
Organisms use amino acids predominantly in l‐configuration. On the other hand, a series of studies show that a variety of d‐amino acids also occur in mammals and amino acid homochirality is not complete. Mammals de novo synthesize most amino acids with l‐configuration, but serine and aspartate are converted from l‐ to d‐configuration by endogenous ...

In‐hospital and 1 year incremental prognostic value of drug abuse detection in acute heart failure

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims The study aims to assess the in‐hospital and 1 year incremental prognostic value of recent drug abuse use, detected by a systematic urinary screening, in a consecutive cohort of patients hospitalized for acute heart failure (AHF). Methods All patients admitted for AHF with a drug abuse screening using a urinary assay were included in this
