Role of dopamine D1-like receptors in methamphetamine locomotor responses of D2 receptor knockout mice [PDF]
, 2008 Behavioral sensitization to psychostimulants manifests as an increased locomotor response with repeated administration. Dopamine systems are accepted to play a fundamental role in sensitization, but the role of specific dopamine receptor subtypes has not

Genetically Encoded Photo-cross-linkers Map the Binding Site of an Allosteric Drug on a G Protein-Coupled Receptor [PDF]
, 2012 G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are dynamic membrane proteins that bind extracellular molecules to transduce signals. Although GPCRs represent the largest class of therapeutic targets, only a small percentage of their ligand-binding sites are ...

Japanese Journal of Pharmacology, 1964 In the study of the drug-receptor interaction, the analysis of the mode of drugantagonism had been the objects of the principal interests, and the drug-synergism had only been remarked in passing (1). Veldstra (2) mentioned the relation between drug receptor and synergism in his extensive review on “Synergism and Potentiation”.

Analgesia induced by the epigenetic drug, L-acetylcarnitine, outlasts the end of treatment in mouse models of chronic inflammatory and neuropathic pain [PDF]
, 2017 Background: L-acetylcarnitine, a drug marketed for the treatment of chronic pain, causes analgesia by epigenetically up-regulating type-2 metabotropic glutamate (mGlu2) receptors in the spinal cord.

GRK Mediates μ-Opioid Receptor Plasma Membrane Reorganization
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2019 Differential regulation of the μ-opioid receptor (MOP) has been linked to the development of opioid tolerance and dependence which both limit the clinical use of opioid analgesics.

mGluR5 antagonism inhibits cocaine reinforcement and relapse by elevation of extracellular glutamate in the nucleus accumbens via a CB1 receptor mechanism. [PDF]
, 2018 Metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) antagonism inhibits cocaine self-administration and reinstatement of drug-seeking behavior. However, the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying this action are poorly understood.
