Interfacial Photoelectrochemistry in Organic Synthesis

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Accepted Article.
Photoelectrodes have traditionally enjoyed widespread attention as heterogeneous catalysts for the activation of water and CO2 in energy research, while photoelectrochemistry with homogeneous molecular catalysts dominates the activations of more complex molecules in organic synthesis.

Toxic Effect of Cigarette Smoke on Brainstem Nicotinic Receptor Expression: Primary Cause of Sudden Unexplained Perinatal Death

Toxics, 2018
Among the neurotoxicants contained in tobacco smoke, if absorbed during pregnancy, nicotine significantly affects α7-nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, which play essential roles in the development of the brainstem regions receiving cholinergic ...

Systemic injection of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor antagonist mecamylamine affects licking, eyelid size, and locomotor and autonomic activities but not temporal prediction in male mice

Molecular Brain, 2022
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors are thought to be associated with a wide range of phenomena, such as movement, learning, memory, attention, and addiction. However, the causal relationship between nicotinic receptor activity and behavior remains unclear.

Conditional expression in corticothalamic efferents reveals a developmental role for nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in modulation of passive avoidance behavior [PDF]

, 2003
Prenatal nicotine exposure has been linked to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and cognitive impairment, but the sites of action for these effects of nicotine are still under investigation. High-affinity nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs)

Structural principles of distinct assemblies of the human α4β2 nicotinic receptor

Nature, 2018
Fast chemical communication in the nervous system is mediated by neurotransmitter-gated ion channels. The prototypical member of this class of cell surface receptors is the cation-selective nicotinic acetylcholine receptor.

Contribution of Addictovigilance data to assess adverse‐events linked to psychoactive substances in children and adolescents

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims We sought to characterize adverse events and deaths associated with the use of psychoactive substances in children and adolescents. Methods Two French Addictovigilance databases were analysed: spontaneous reports and deaths over the period 2016–2021, in subjects aged 10–<18 years. An unsupervised classification was implemented on consumption data (

Nicotine : Pharmacology and therapeutic implications in neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders [PDF]

, 2005
The pathophysiology of tobacco-related diseases is complex and multifactorial. Among the various compounds in tobacco smoke are carcinogens such as nitrosamines, irritants such as a variety of phenolic compounds, volatiles such as carbon monoxide, and of

Golden Anniversary of the Nicotinic Receptor [PDF]

Neuron, 2020
The high-resolution structure of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor from Torpedo electric tissue in association with the snake toxin α-bungarotoxin (Rahman et al., 2020) is presented 50 years after its identification as the first neurotransmitter receptor and ligand-gated ion channel.
