Light‐Activated Pharmacological Tools for Exploring the Cholinergic System

Medicinal Research Reviews, Volume 45, Issue 4, Page 1251-1274, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Cholinergic transmission plays a critical role in both the central and peripheral nervous systems, affecting processes such as learning, memory, and inflammation. Conventional cholinergic drugs generally suffer from poor selectivity and temporal precision, leading to undesired effects and limited therapeutic efficacy. Photopharmacology aims to

Liquiritigenin‐Rich Hydroalcoholic Extract of Brazilian Red Propolis Reduces Dyskinesia Induced by 3,4‐ Dihydroxyphenylalanine in Hemiparkinsonian Rats

Basic &Clinical Pharmacology &Toxicology, Volume 137, Issue 1, July 2025.
ABSTRACT The set‐up and progression of dyskinesia induced by 3,4‐dihydroxyphenylalanine (L‐DOPA) are strongly linked to oxidative stress and neuroinflammation. The aim of this work was to study and characterize the effects of the hydroalcoholic extract of Brazilian red propolis (HERP) on L‐DOPA–induced dyskinesia (LID) in hemiparkinsonian rats injected

Towards the convergent therapeutic potential of G protein‐coupled receptors in autism spectrum disorders

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 182, Issue 14, Page 3044-3067, July 2025.
Abstract Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are diagnosed in 1/100 children worldwide, based on two core symptoms: deficits in social interaction and communication, and stereotyped behaviours. G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest family of cell‐surface receptors that transduce extracellular signals to convergent intracellular signalling ...

Gαq signalling from endosomes: A new conundrum

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 182, Issue 14, Page 3068-3089, July 2025.
Abstract G‐protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) constitute the largest family of membrane receptors, and are involved in the transmission of a variety of extracellular stimuli such as hormones, neurotransmitters, light and odorants into intracellular responses.

Microscopy and spectroscopy approaches to study GPCR structure and function

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 182, Issue 14, Page 3090-3108, July 2025.
Abstract The GPCR signalling cascade is a key pathway responsible for the signal transduction of a multitude of physical and chemical stimuli, including light, odorants, neurotransmitters and hormones. Understanding the structural and functional properties of the GPCR cascade requires direct observation of signalling processes in high spatial and ...

The dark sides of the GPCR tree ‐ research progress on understudied GPCRs

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 182, Issue 14, Page 3109-3134, July 2025.
Abstract A large portion of the human GPCRome is still in the dark and understudied, consisting even of entire subfamilies of GPCRs such as odorant receptors, class A and C orphans, adhesion GPCRs, Frizzleds and taste receptors. However, it is undeniable that these GPCRs bring an untapped therapeutic potential that should be explored further.

G protein‐coupled receptor‐mediated autophagy in health and disease

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 182, Issue 14, Page 3151-3162, July 2025.
G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) constitute the largest and most diverse superfamily of mammalian transmembrane proteins. These receptors are involved in a wide range of physiological functions and are targets for more than a third of available drugs in the market. Autophagy is a cellular process involved in degrading damaged proteins and organelles

ERNEST COST action overview on the (patho)physiology of GPCRs and orphan GPCRs in the nervous system

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 182, Issue 14, Page 3178-3210, July 2025.
G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) are a large family of cell surface receptors that play a critical role in nervous system function by transmitting signals between cells and their environment. They are involved in many, if not all, nervous system processes, and their dysfunction has been linked to various neurological disorders representing important
