Electrospun nanofibers of polyCD/PMAA polymers and their potential application as drug delivery system [PDF]
Herein, we used an electrospinning process to develop highly efficacious and hydrophobic coaxial nanofibers based on poly-cyclodextrin (polyCD) associated with poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA) that combines polymeric and supramolecular features for modulating the release of the hydrophilic drug, propranolol hydrochloride (PROP).

Background: Recent explorative studies suggest that propranolol reduces retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) progression, but the short-term effects of propranolol treatment at 1 year of corrected age have not been extensively evaluated.Methods: A multi ...

Same family, same mutation, different ECG
This case shows ECG differences may also occur between family members who have the same gene mutation due to long QT syndrome. Abstract Background Different types of long QT syndromes (LQTS) have distinct ECG manifestations according to the type and magnitude of ion channel dysfunction.

BackgroundBeta-blockers can reduce recurrence, metastasis, and mortality in various cancers. In this study, we investigated the effect of propranolol, a non-selective beta-blocker on overall survival (OS) in unresectable/metastatic hepatocellular ...

Abstract Objective Rural veterans have high obesity rates. Yet, little is known about this population's engagement with the Veterans Affairs (VA) weight management program (MOVE!). The study objective is to determine whether MOVE! enrollment, anti‐obesity medication use, bariatric surgery use, retention, and outcomes differ by rurality for veterans ...

Inhibition of signaling downstream of beta‐2 adrenoceptor by propranolol in prostate cancer cells
Abstract Background There is accumulating evidence that propranolol, an antagonist of beta‐1 and beta‐2 adrenoreceptors, extends survival of patients with prostate cancer; yet it is not known whether propranolol inhibits beta‐adrenergic signaling in prostate cancer cells, or systemic effects of propranolol play the leading role in slowing down cancer ...

Synthesis and Characterization of Photoswitchable Covalent Ligands for the β2‐Adrenoceptor
A structure‐based design of a covalent photoswitchable ligand for the β2‐adrenergic receptor, a therapeutically relevant GPCR, is described. This tool facilitates the modification of the intrinsic activity of the protein by light. Computational analysis of its mechanism of action suggests that the photoswitch takes place within the binding pocket ...

Abstract The β2AR is a prototypical G protein‐coupled receptor (GPCR) known to orchestrate different cellular responses by the stimulation of specific signaling pathways. The best‐established signaling pathways for the β2AR are the canonical Gs pathway and the alternative β arrestin 2 (βarr2) pathway.

Severe hyper-catecholaminergic states likely cause heart failure and cardiac fibrosis. While previous studies demonstrated the effects of beta-blockade in experimental models of single-catecholamine excess states, the detailed benefits of beta-blockade ...

Involvement of propranolol in suicides: cross-sectional study using coroner-reported data
Background Propranolol is a beta-blocker medication indicated mostly for heart rhythm conditions and for physical symptoms of anxiety. Prescriptions for propranolol in the UK have increased since 2008.
