Anti‐Obesity Pharmacotherapy and Emerging Multimodal Interventions for Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Chronic Diseases and Translational Medicine, EarlyView.
Cellular and molecular mechanisms of obesity‐related obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). ADMA: asymmetric dimethyrarginine, NLRP3: nucleotide‐binding domain, leucine‐rich repeat family, Pyrin domain containing 3, TLR: toll‐like receptors, IL‐1β: interleukin‐1β, IL‐6: interleukin‐6; LPS: lipopolysacharide, ROS: reactive oxygen species, TNF‐α.

Interactions between Lateral Hypothalamic Orexin and Dorsal Raphe Circuitry in Energy Balance

Brain Sciences
Orexin/hypocretin terminals innervate the dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN), which projects to motor control areas important for spontaneous physical activity (SPA) and energy expenditure (EE).

Orexin receptor agonist Yan 7874 is a weak agonist of orexin/hypocretin receptors and shows orexin receptor-independent cytotoxicity

PLOS ONE, 2017
Two promising lead structures of small molecular orexin receptor agonist have been reported, but without detailed analyses of the pharmacological properties. One of them, 1-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-2-[2-imino-3-(4-methylbenzyl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-1-yl]ethan-1-ol (Yan 7874), is commercially available, and we set out to analyze its properties ...

Bidirectional sleep‐seizure interactions and orexin in a mouse model of tuberous sclerosis complex‐related epilepsy

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective A strong bidirectional relationship exists between epilepsy and sleep, with seizures often occurring more frequently in sleep and, in turn, sleep being disrupted by seizures. However, the mechanistic basis of seizure–sleep interactions is poorly understood.

Roles of orexin in modulating arousal, feeding and motivation

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2013
Orexin deficiency results in narcolepsy in humans, dogs, and rodents, suggesting that the orexin system is particularly important for maintenance of wakefulness.

Orexin neurons receive glycinergic innervations. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Glycine, a nonessential amino-acid that acts as an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, is currently used as a dietary supplement to improve the quality of sleep, but its mechanism of action is poorly understood.

When the Scale Drops: Pathways to Weight Loss in Parkinson's Disease and Future Directions

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Although Parkinson's disease (PD) is classically defined by its motor features, non‐motor symptoms exert a substantial and often under‐recognized influence on disease trajectory. Among these, weight loss has long been observed in PD and other neurodegenerative disorders, yet the mechanisms remain incompletely understood.

Advancing pharmacometrics in Africa—Transition from capacity development toward job creation

CPT: Pharmacometrics &Systems Pharmacology, Volume 14, Issue 3, Page 407-419, March 2025.
Abstract Trained pharmacometricians remain scarce in Africa due to limited training opportunities, lack of a pharmaceutical product development ecosystem, and emigration to high‐income countries. The Applied Pharmacometrics Training (APT) fellowship program was established to address these gaps and specifically foster job creation for talent retention.

Orexin, Orexin Receptor Antagonists and Central Cardiovascular Control

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2013
Orexin makes an important contribution to the regulation of cardiovascular function. When injected centrally under anesthesia, orexin increases blood pressure, heart rate and sympathetic nerve activity.

Exploring Linalool‐Based Phytotherapy for Excitatory/Inhibitory Imbalance in Alzheimer's Disease: A Review of Lavender and Cannabis Therapeutic Effects on Sleep, Seizures, and Cognition

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
Schematic overview of the proposed neuromodulatory actions of linalool in Alzheimer's disease. Through multi‐target effects on oxidative stress, amyloid aggregation, GABAergic and glutamatergic signaling, linalool may restore excitatory/inhibitory balance.
