The Concise Guide to PHARMACOLOGY 2025/26: G protein‐coupled receptors

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 182, Issue S1, Page S24-S151, December 2025.
The Concise Guide to Pharmacology 2025/26 marks the seventh edition in this series of biennial publications in the British Journal of Pharmacology. Presented in landscape format, the guide provides a comparative overview of the pharmacology of drug target families. The concise nature of the Concise Guide refers to the style of presentation, being clear,

Phototherapy via Modulation of β‐Amyloid in Combating Alzheimer's Disease

open access: yesAggregate
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is one of the most prevalent forms of neurodegenerative disease. Although some controversy exists, β‐amyloid peptide (Aβ) is recognized to play an essential role in the pathophysiology of AD.

A ‘double-edged’ role for type-5 metabotropic glutamate receptors in pain disclosed by light-sensitive drugs

open access: yeseLife
We used light-sensitive drugs to identify the brain region-specific role of mGlu5 metabotropic glutamate receptors in the control of pain. Optical activation of systemic JF-NP-26, a caged, normally inactive, negative allosteric modulator (NAM) of mGlu5 ...

A Chemically Stable Photocaged Noradrenaline. [PDF]

open access: yesACS Chem Neurosci
Photoactivatable neurotransmitters provide spatiotemporally precise experimenter control over endogenous receptor activation in living tissue. The resulting optical stimulus-neuronal response relationship provides a sensitive assay that can drive ...

Identification of Methylglyoxal Reactive Proteins with Photocaged Glycating Agents

open access: yesChemBioChem, Volume 26, Issue 21, November 8, 2025.
Photocaged methylglyoxal (PC‐MGO) derivatives enable studying protein glycation under mild conditions. The active glycating agents can be released in the protein solution by irradiating the sample with UV light. Compared to the earlier reported chemically activated MGO probes, the photocaged probes are more potent.

Controlling Biological Pathways with Photopharmacology [PDF]

open access: yesBiophysical Journal, 2016
Light can be used to control biological events with unmatched temporal and spatial precision. A case in point is optogenetics, which relies on natural photoreceptors that employ retinal, flavins or tetrapyrrols as chromophores. Recently, the incorporation of synthetic photoswitches, such as azobenzenes, into naturally “blind” native receptors has been ...

Potent hemithioindigo-based antimitotics photocontrol the microtubule cytoskeleton in cellulo

open access: yesBeilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2020
Background: Hemithioindigo is a promising molecular photoswitch that has only recently been applied as a photoswitchable pharmacophore for control over bioactivity in cellulo. Uniquely, in contrast to other photoswitches that have been applied to biology,

Hemithioindigos for cellular tubulin photopharmacology: From proof of concept to near-quantitatively photoswitchable tools with single-cell precision [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Microtubules (MTs) are hollow polymeric tubes formed of α/β-tubulin heterodimers that are in a constant dynamic equilibrium between growth and shrinkage. MTs are an essential constituent of the cytoskeleton and so are critical in many cellular processes,

Mechanistic Insight into Para‐Substituent Control of Thermal Half‐Lives in Arylazopyrazole Photoswitches

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, Volume 137, Issue 43, October 20, 2025.
Herein we provide an overview of photochromic and photophysical properties of a broad variety of arylazo‐1,3,5‐trimethylpyrazole photoswitches, including the influence of 23 different para‐substituents. Measured half‐lives correlated in a Hammet plot are rationalized by density functional theory calculations, revealing the underlying thermal ...
