Gabapentin as an add‐on analgesic to morphine in paediatric patients with chronic pain

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Off‐label use of gabapentin for the treatment of chronic pain in children has increased over the last decade, with multiple clinical trials evaluating its role pain management and potential opioid‐sparing effects. To date, however, these studies appear to rely on empirical evidence without further consideration of pharmacokinetic‐pharmacodynamic ...

Nociceptin/orphanin FQ and motor activity: behavioural, biochemical and electrophysiological studies in models of Parkinson’s disease [PDF]

, 2010
Nociceptin/orphanin FQ (N/OFQ) is an opioid-like neuropeptide which activates the NOP receptor. N/OFQ exerts an inhibitory control on locomotion through inhibition of dopamine (DA) neurons located in the substantia nigra (SN), which degenerate in ...

Histamine and the mechanisms of nausea and vomiting: Translating the uncertain pharmacology of cyclizine

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Cyclizine is a long‐established, short‐acting drug, registered for preventing motion sickness, post‐operative nausea and vomiting (PONV) and ‘vomiting of known cause’. The latter is not defined but may include pregnancy and patients receiving palliative care, historically accepted without large, controlled trials.

Acute toxic leucoencephalopathy following protonitazene ingestion

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background Distribution of illicit counterfeit alprazolam containing the highly potent synthetic opioid‐receptor agonist protonitazene recently resulted in a number of severe overdoses in Ireland. We report three cases that presented to our hospital, within 6 weeks of one another, following ingestion of illicitly‐sourced alprazolam.

Translational development of crisugabalin for neuropathic pain

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Crisugabalin (HSK16149) is a next‐generation α2δ ligand developed to preserve the mechanistic rationale of gabapentinoids while refining target engagement and exposure‐related tolerability constraints. We performed a translational review of molecular/structural studies, in vivo pharmacology and behavioural safety assessments, phase I clinical ...
