Novel approaches for drug development against chronic primary pain: A systematic review

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Chronic primary pain (CPP) persisting for more than 3 months, associated with significant emotional distress without any known underlying cause, is an unmet medical need. Traditional or adjuvant analgesics do not provide satisfactory pain relief for a great proportion of these patients.

Cannabigerol reverses mechanical allodynia through α2A‐adrenergic modulation of thalamocortical signaling in chemotherapy‐induced neuropathy

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Chemotherapy‐induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a prevalent and treatment‐resistant side effect of platinum‐based chemotherapy, characterised by mechanical allodynia. Cannabigerol (CBG), a non‐psychoactive cannabinoid, has shown antinociceptive potential, but its site and mechanism of action remain unclear.

Cancer pain: current practice and emerging targets

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Cancer pain (CP) arises from a complex interplay between the tumour and its microenvironment. Many patients experience a mixed pain phenotype that encompasses nociceptive, neuropathic and neuroinflammatory mechanisms, and vary across tumour type and disease stage. Despite decades of intensive research, the mainstay of cancer pain treatment is still non‐

The discovery and development of ensifentrine: A novel inhaled dual PDE3/4 inhibitor having ‘bifunctional’ bronchodilator and anti‐inflammatory activity

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Ensifentrine (formerly called RPL 554) is a novel, first in class, inhaled bifunctional dual PDE3/4 inhibitor for the treatment of chronic respiratory diseases. Ensifentrine exhibits both bronchodilation via PDE3 inhibition and anti‐inflammatory activity via PDE4 inhibition.

Constitutively active mutants of the alpha 2-adrenergic receptor.

, 1993
We have mutated a single residue, Thr373 [corrected], in the C-terminal portion of the third intracellular loop of the alpha 2C10-adrenergic receptor into five different amino acids.

α2-Adrenergic Receptors in Hypothalamic Dopaminergic Neurons: Impact on Food Intake and Energy Expenditure

The adrenergic system plays an active role in modulating synaptic transmission in hypothalamic neurocircuitry. While α2-adrenergic receptors are widely distributed in various organs and are involved in various physiological functions, their ...

Bioengineered microbiotic levodopa therapy improves cognition and reduces pathology in a rat model of Alzheimer's disease

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Degeneration of the pontine noradrenergic and midbrain dopaminergic systems contributes to cognitive‐behavioural disturbances during the prodromal stages of Alzheimer's disease (AD). We developed a genetically engineered, programmable probiotic Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 strain (EcNrhaL‐DOPA) capable of producing L‐3,4 ...

Psychological Stress Promotes Tumor Growth in Hepatocellular Carcinoma Models Through Myeloid Signaling

Cancer Science, EarlyView.
Psychological stress promotes hepatocellular carcinoma progression through coordinated regulation of macrophages and neutrophils. Noradrenaline activates ADRB2 signaling in intratumoral macrophages, leading to CXCL2 production and neutrophil recruitment.

Mutational and computational characterization of transmembrane domains in the fungal G protein-coupled pheromone receptors STE2 and Mam2 [PDF]

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) comprise the largest family of cell-surface receptors involved in sensing a multitude of ligands and are consequently attractive pharmacological targets.

Current Approaches to Support Patients to Withdraw From Image and Performance Enhancing Drugs

Clinical Endocrinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Image and performance‐enhancing drugs (IPEDs) include agents such as androgens, growth hormone, and erythropoietin, which are used to enhance appearance and physical performance. Androgens, also known as anabolic‐androgenic steroids (AAS), are the most used IPEDs worldwide.
