Opiate Drugs with Abuse Liability Hijack the Endogenous Opioid System to Disrupt Neuronal and Glial Maturation in the Central Nervous System

open access: yesFrontiers in Pediatrics, 2018
The endogenous opioid system, comprised of multiple opioid neuropeptide and receptor gene families, is highly expressed by developing neural cells and can significantly influence neuronal and glial maturation. In many central nervous system (CNS) regions,

Threonine 180 Is Required for G-protein-coupled Receptor Kinase 3- and β-Arrestin 2-mediated Desensitization of the µ-Opioid Receptor in Xenopus Oocytes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
To determine the sites in the µ-opioid receptor (MOR) critical for agonist-dependent desensitization, we constructed and coexpressed MORs lacking potential phosphorylation sites along with G-protein activated inwardly rectifying potassium channels ...

Combination vs. single‐drug nonprescription analgesics for acute pain management: A narrative review

open access: yesBritish Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Combining nonprescription analgesics with different mechanisms of action has been proposed as a rational strategy to optimize the management of acute pain. This review assessed the efficacy and safety of nonprescription analgesics, including paracetamol (acetaminophen), metamizole and nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) used in combination vs.

Efficacy and safety of a selective partial agonist for nociception/orphanin‐FQ peptide (NOP) receptors in patients with insomnia disorder

open access: yesBritish Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Insomnia is a common sleep disorder, affecting up to 20% of the world population and adversely impacting productivity, health, and overall well‐being. Although pharmacologic options exist to treat insomnia, the health‐related quality of life for patients who are prescribed hypnotics is no higher than for those who are not, revealing a significant ...

Quality indicators for safe and effective use of medications in long‐term care settings: A systematic review

open access: yesBritish Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
People accessing aged care services are increasingly older and often experience multimorbidity and polypharmacy, which puts them at risk of medication‐related harm. Quality indicators (QIs) can assist with monitoring, benchmarking and informing initiatives to reduce medication‐related harm.
