Investigation of a role for noradrenaline in the neurochemical and behavioural effects of an established and putative target for antianxiety/antidepressant drugs: a microdialysis and behavioural study in rats and NK1 receptor knockout mice. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The precise neurochemical effects of antidepressants that underlie their efficacy remain unclear. Many antidepressants modulate noradrenaline transmission in vivo.

Exploring new avenues: Psychedelic‐assisted therapy for young people

open access: yesBritish Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Rates of mental illness in young people are increasing, whereas the development of novel mental health treatments has not significantly progressed. Psychedelic‐assisted therapy, using substances such as psilocybin and 3,4‐methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), has shown potential in the treatment of mental illnesses in the adult population, including ...

Clozapine:norclozapine ratio as a marker of metabolic risk and therapeutic response and effect of valproate on clozapine levels

open access: yesBritish Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Clozapine is the most effective antipsychotic in treatment‐resistant schizophrenia. Clozapine causes weight gain and increased diabetes risk. The role of its metabolite norclozapine and clozapine:norclozapine ratio (CLZ/NCLZ) in metabolic effects has been debated.

Serotonin Enhances Beta-Endorphin Secretion to Lower Plasma Glucose in Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic Rats

open access: yes, 2008
Although serotonin, serotonin uptake inhibitors and serotonin precursors (including tryptophan or 5- hydroxytryptophan) are known to have hypoglycemic action in rodents or human, it is not clear whether serotonin has hypoglycemic effect in streptozotocin-

Contribution of gene-modified mice and rats to our understanding of the cardiovascular pharmacology of serotonin

open access: yes, 2010
International audienceThis review focuses on new insights provided by gene-modified animals into the cardiovascular pharmacology of serotonin. During their development, mice mutant for tryptophan hydroxylase 1 and lacking peripheral serotonin, or mutant ...

Environmental impact of antidepressants: Is a new prescription framework possible?

open access: yesBritish Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Antidepressants such as venlafaxine and sertraline pose high risks to water ecosystems. As depressive disorders and other mental health conditions become increasingly prevalent worldwide, prescription and environmental presence of these pharmaceuticals continue to rise. This study explores the practical viability of a new framework for prescribing

Reformulating a Pharmacophore for 5‑HT2A Serotonin Receptor Antagonists

open access: yes, 2016
Several pharmacophore models have been proposed for 5-HT2A serotonin receptor antagonists. These typically consist of two aromatic/hydrophobic moieties separated by a given distance from each other, and from a basic amine.

The integrated Lei‐CNS PBPK‐PD model effectively predicts clozapine brain disposition and D2 receptor occupancy in humans

open access: yesBritish Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aim Clozapine, used for treatment‐resistant schizophrenia, has a narrow therapeutic window and highly variable plasma pharmacokinetics (PK), necessitating careful monitoring. Direct measurement of unbound brain PK in humans is unethical. To develop a physiologically based pharmacokinetic–pharmacodynamic (PBPK‐PD) model to predict clozapine brain ...

Role of serotonin type 2 receptors in regulation of aldosterone production

open access: yes, 1985
It is well recognized that serotonin stimulates aldosterone production by the adrenal glands. To investigate the possible roles of serotonin type 1 and 2 receptors in the regulation of aldosterone production, we examined the effects of cyproheptadine (a ...
