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

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]
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
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]
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
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]
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,

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 ...
