PPADS: an antagonist at endothelial P2Y‐purinoceptors but not P2U‐purinoceptors [PDF]
Bovine aortic endothelial (BAE) cells contain two co‐existing receptors for extracellular ATP, the P2Yand P2U‐purinoceptors. Here we have determined whether the proposed P2x‐purinoceptor antagonist, pyridoxalphosphate‐6‐azophenyl‐2″, 4″‐disulphonic acid (PPADS) could distinguish between these two receptor subtypes.Cells labelled withmyo‐[2‐3H]‐inositol

Actions of a series of PPADS analogs at P2X1 and P2X3 receptors [PDF]
AbstractSeven PPADS (Pyridoxal‐5′‐Phosphate 6‐Azophenyl 2′,4′‐DiSulfonate) analogs were investigated at Group 1 P2X receptors expressed in Xenopus oocytes. All seven analogs potently inhibited P2X1 (IC50 range, 5–32 nM) and P2X3 (IC50 range, 22–345 nM), the two Group I P2X receptor subtypes.

PPADS and suramin as antagonists at cloned P2Y‐ and P2U‐purinoceptors [PDF]
The effect of suramin and pyridoxalphosphate‐6‐azophenyl‐2′,4′‐disulphonic acid (PPADS) on the stimulation of phospholipase C in 1321N1 cells transfected with the human P2U‐purinoceptor (h‐P2U‐1321N1 cells) or with the turkey P2Y‐purinoceptor (t‐P2Y‐1321N1 cells) was investigated. 2‐Methylthioadenosine triphosphate (2MeSATP) was used as the agonist at

The Complexity of Gradient Descent: CLS = PPAD ∩ PLS [PDF]
We study search problems that can be solved by performing Gradient Descent on a bounded convex polytopal domain and show that this class is equal to the intersection of two well-known classes: PPAD and PLS. As our main underlying technical contribution, we show that computing a Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) point of a continuously ...

The Hairy Ball problem is PPAD-complete [PDF]
The Hairy Ball Theorem states that every continuous tangent vector field on an even-dimensional sphere must have a zero. We prove that the associated computational problem of (a) computing an approximate zero is PPAD-complete, and (b) computing an exact zero is FIXP-hard.
