Vasopressin receptor antagonists [PDF]
Kidney International, 2006 The first non-peptide vasopressin receptor antagonist (VRA) was recently approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration, and several others are now in late stages of clinical development. Phase 3 trials indicate that these agents predictably reduce urine osmolality, increase electrolyte-free water excretion, and raise serum sodium ...

Leukotriene Receptor Antagonists [PDF]
Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2002 In the past decade, heightened emphasis has been placed on the importance of inflammation in the pathogenesis of asthma. Although corticosteroids have remained the primary anti-inflammatory agents in the management of the persistent asthmatic, new classes of drugs have recently been added.

Mineralocorticoid Receptor Antagonists [PDF]
International Cardiovascular Forum Journal, 2019 Two mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, spironolactone and eplerenone, are currently approved by the FDA. Several non-steroid based ligands are in clinical trials for indications including heart failure, hypertension and diabetic kidney disease, and even more structurally distinct chemical series are reported in the literature with preclinical data

Endothelin Receptors and Their Antagonists
Seminars in Nephrology, 2015 All three members of the endothelin (ET) family of peptides, ET-1, ET-2, and ET-3, are expressed in the human kidney, with ET-1 being the predominant isoform. ET-1 and ET-2 bind to two G-protein-coupled receptors, ETA and ETB, whereas at physiological concentrations ET-3 has little affinity for the ET(A) receptor.

Olfaction: Receptor Antagonistes [PDF]
Current Biology, 2020 Odor receptors of the mammalian olfactory system have long been known to be activated in combinatorial fashion by odorants. A large-scale study now reveals that inhibition of receptors by odorants is comparably prevalent and combinatorial.
