Seminars in Thrombosis and Hemostasis, 1996
Thrombin's proteolytically activated "tethered-ligand" receptor is widely expressed and mediates many of thrombin's actions on cells. Its central role in thrombin-stimulated human platelet activation and vascular smooth muscle proliferation as well as location in atherosclerotic plaques suggests receptor involvement in arterial thrombosis and ...

Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists
Current Hypertension Reports, 2007With an increasingly aging population, the need for effective treatment of cardiovascular diseases (eg, heart failure, hypertension, and ischemic heart disease) cannot be overemphasized. The vital importance of mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists for treating cardiovascular conditions has only been appreciated in the last decade. The re-emergence of

Endothelin receptor antagonists
Pharmacology & Therapeutics, 2006Endothelin receptor antagonists (ERAs) have been developed to block the effects of endothelin-1 (ET-1) in a variety of cardiovascular conditions. ET-1 is a powerful vasoconstrictor with mitogenic or co-mitogenic properties, which acts through the stimulation of 2 subtypes of receptors [endothelin receptor subtype A (ETA) and endothelin receptor subtype

Bradykinin receptor antagonists
Medicinal Research Reviews, 1990Bradykinin and its active metabolites are produced at the sites of their actions by kallikreins. They potently elicit a variety of biological effects: hypotension, bronchoconstriction, gut and uterine contraction, epithelial secretion in airway, gut, and exocrine glands, vascular permeability, pain, connective tissue proliferation, and eicosanoid ...

Leukotriene-receptor antagonists [PDF]
The Lancet, 1999 Leukotriene-receptor antagonists are the first novel class of antiasthma drugs to become available over the past three decades. They have an unique profile in that they are a hybrid of an anti-inflammatory and bronchodilator drug, and they can be taken as a tablet once or twice daily.

Muscarinic Receptor Antagonists
2016Parasympathetic activity is increased in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma and appears to be the major reversible component of airway obstruction. Therefore, treatment with muscarinic receptor antagonists is an effective bronchodilator therapy in COPD and also in asthmatic patients.

American Journal of Health-System Pharmacy, 1978
The uses of the histamine H2 receptor antagonists (H2 antagonists) in the management of peptic ulcer disease and the Zollinger-Ellison syndrome are reviewed. Drugs included in the discussion are burimamide, metiamide and cimetidine. The secretion and the pharmacology of the H2 antagonists are described.

Inhibition of morphine tolerance and dependence by the NMDA receptor antagonist MK-801.
Science, 1991The N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) subtype of the glutamate receptor is an important mediator of several forms of neural and behavioral plasticity. The present studies examined whether NMDA receptors might be involved in the development of opiate tolerance ...

Endothelin receptor antagonists
World Journal of Urology, 2005Hormone refractory prostate cancer remains true to its middle name: it is largely refractory to attempts to delay its progression. New targets and new therapies are demanded. Through a review of the available literature on endothelin and several preclinical observations, the endothelin axis has emerged as one such target.

Angiotensin Receptors and Their Antagonists
New England Journal of Medicine, 1996Angiotensins are peptide hormones derived from the protein precursor angiotensinogen by the sequential actions of proteolytic enzymes (Figure 1). The classic pathway of angiotensin synthesis includes a reaction catalyzed by angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), which occurs not only in plasma but also in the kidneys, brain, adrenal glands, ovaries, and ...
