Botulinum Toxin as a Pain Killer: Players and Actions in Antinociception

Toxins, 2015
Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) have been widely used to treat a variety of clinical ailments associated with pain. The inhibitory action of BoNTs on synaptic vesicle fusion blocks the releases of various pain-modulating neurotransmitters, including ...

Aniridia‐associated keratopathy: Clinical and molecular mechanisms of disease progression and emerging therapeutic targets

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Congenital aniridia is a rare genetic disorder primarily caused by pathogenic variants of the PAX6 gene. It leads to various panocular anomalies, including aniridia‐associated keratopathy (AAK). This review highlights recent insights into its pathogenesis, focusing on clinical staging, microstructural changes in the cornea and molecular ...

A critical appraisal of the safety of bedinvetmab (Beransa), a canine antinerve growth factor monoclonal antibody

Australian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Clinical scenario Canine osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease and is one of the most common chronic conditions in dogs and other species. The management of OA remains a longstanding focus in veterinary medicine. Traditionally, nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have been the first‐line treatment option for canine OA. Recently,

Calcitonin receptors (version 2019.4) in the IUPHAR/BPS Guide to Pharmacology Database

, 2019
This receptor family comprises a group of receptors for the calcitonin/CGRP family of peptides. The calcitonin (CT), amylin (AMY), calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and adrenomedullin (AM) receptors (nomenclature as agreed by the NC-IUPHAR ...

Activation of peripheral NOP receptors reduces periorbital mechanical allodynia evoked by CGRP in mice

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Migraine is a neurovascular disorder largely mediated by calcitonin gene‐related peptide (CGRP). This study explores the role of the nociceptin/orphanin FQ (N/OFQ)–N/OFQ receptor (NOP) system in CGRP‐induced periorbital mechanical allodynia (PMA) in mice.

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.

Abundant calcitonin receptors in isolated rat osteoclasts. Biochemical and autoradiographic characterization

, 1986
Calcitonin receptors have been characterized for the first time in isolated osteoclasts. These receptors have been demonstrated by autoradiographic and biochemical methods, and the cells have also been shown to respond to calcitonin with a dose-dependent

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‐

Receptors for calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP) in gastrointestinal epithelia

, 1995
A pharmacological comparison of calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP) receptors expressed in normal rat colon mucosa and two human adenocarcinoma cell lines has been undertaken. Using voltage-clamp techniques electrogenic ion transport was continuously

Impact of incretin analogues on lipid and lipoprotein metabolism in obesity and diabetes

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Incretin‐based therapies have gained momentum as a key strategy for reducing cardiovascular risk in individuals with obesity and/or type 2 diabetes (T2D). It remains unclear whether the cardiovascular benefits reflect a direct reduction in atherogenic lipoproteins—namely, low‐density lipoproteins (LDL), very low‐density lipoproteins (VLDL) and
