Critical role of mitogen‐inducible gene 6 in restraining endothelial cell permeability to maintain vascular homeostasis

Journal of Cell Communication and Signaling, Volume 17, Issue 1, Page 151-165, March 2023., 2023
Graphical abstract Xing et al. (2022) investigated the critical role of MIG6 in vascular permeability. MIG6 deficiency promotes VEGFA‐induced vascular permeability via activation of PLCγ1‐Ca2+‐eNOS signaling and perturbation of the balance in RAC1/RHOA activation, resulting in endothelial barrier disruption.

The widely used antihistamine mepyramine causes topical pain relief through direct blockade of nociceptor sodium channels

The FASEB Journal, Volume 35, Issue 12, December 2021., 2021
Abstract Mepyramine, a first‐generation antihistamine targeting the histamine H(1) receptor, was extensively prescribed to patients suffering from allergic reactions and urticaria. Serious adverse effects, especially in case of overdose, were frequently reported, including drowsiness, impaired thinking, convulsion, and coma.

Analytical and Pharmacological Characterization of 1-(Furan-2-Carbonyl)-LSD (1F-LSD) and Comparison With 1-(Thiophene-2-Carbonyl)-LSD (1T-LSD). [PDF]

Drug Test Anal
The novel lysergamide 1‐(furan‐2‐carbonyl)‐LSD (1F‐LSD) was analytically characterized. 1F‐LSD showed LSD‐like activity in vivo similar to 1‐(thiophene‐2‐carbonyl)‐LSD (1T‐LSD) used for comparison. Administration studies in mice and LC–MS analysis revealed that 1F‐LSD served as a prodrug.

Synergistic interaction between Diclofenac and Pyrilamine on nociception, inflammation and gastric damage in rats [PDF]

, 2016
Experiments using non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) alone have produced limited antinociceptive effects in animal models. For this reason, the number of studies involving the administration of NSAIDs along with an adjuvant drug harboring ...

Typical and Atypical Antipsychotic Drugs Increase Extracellular Histamine Levels in the Rat Medial Prefrontal Cortex: Contribution of Histamine H1 Receptor Blockade

Frontiers in Psychiatry, 2012
Atypical antipsychotics such as clozapine and olanzapine have been shown to enhance histamine turnover and this effect has been hypothesized to contribute to their improved therapeutic profile compared to typical antipsychotics.

Uptake Study in Lysosome-Enriched Fraction: Critical Involvement of Lysosomal Trapping in Quinacrine Uptake but Not Fluorescence-Labeled Verapamil Transport at Blood-Retinal Barrier

Pharmaceutics, 2020
Lysosomal trapping at the blood–retinal barrier (BRB) was investigated through quinacrine and fluorescence-labeled verapamil (EFV) uptake. Quinacrine uptake by conditionally immortalized rat retinal capillary endothelial (TR-iBRB2) cells suggested ...

Histaminergic modulation of cholinergic release from the nucleus basalis magnocellularis into insular cortex during taste aversive memory formation. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
The ability of acetylcholine (ACh) to alter specific functional properties of the cortex endows the cholinergic system with an important modulatory role in memory formation. For example, an increase in ACh release occurs during novel stimulus processing,
