A Molecular Basis for Selective Antagonist Destabilization of Dopamine D3 Receptor Quaternary Organization

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
The dopamine D3 receptor (D3R) is a molecular target for both first-generation and several recently-developed antipsychotic agents. Following stable expression of this mEGFP-tagged receptor, Spatial Intensity Distribution Analysis indicated that a ...

[3H]-Spiperone Competition Binding to Dopamine D2, D3 and D4 Receptors

open access: yesBio-Protocol, 2013
This protocol is intended for use in 96 well plates (1,200 μl wells) but it can similarly be applied to standard test tubes (Levant, 2007). D2, D3, and D4 dopamine receptors are members of the D2-like class of dopamine receptors.

Verification of the role of spiperone in the treatment of COPD through bioinformatics analysis

open access: yesInternational Immunopharmacology, 2021
Aim of this study is investigates the influence of spiperone on hydrolase activity pathway in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were calculated by the limma package from microarray data GSE20257, and analysed via gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) for identifying COPD related pathways. The regulation of

The Hypoactivity Associated with the Repeated Exposure to Atrazine Is Related to Decreases in the Specific Binding to D1-DA Receptors in the Striatum of Rats

open access: yesJournal of Toxicology, 2017
The herbicide atrazine (ATR) has a potential toxic effect on the neuronal circuits of the brain, specifically on two major dopaminergic pathways: the nigrostriatal and mesolimbic circuits.

Evidence for the Involvement of Dopamine in Ambulation Promoted by Menthol in Mice

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2003
The present study examines the mechanism that underlies the ability of menthol (ME), a major constituent of peppermint oil, to promote mouse ambulation. We initially confirmed that bupropion (BUP), a dopamine (DA) uptake inhibitor, promotes ambulation in

Possible Involvement of Endogenous 5-HT in Aggravation of Cerulein-Induced Acute Pancreatitis in Mice

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2007
The aim of the present study was to elucidate the pathogenic role of endogenous 5-HT in pancreatitis. Injections of cerulein at hourly intervals caused edematous pancreatitis in mice characterized by hyperenzymemia and histological alterations. While the

An improved synthesis of (3-N-[11C]methyl)spiperone

open access: yesInternational Journal of Radiation Applications and Instrumentation. Part A. Applied Radiation and Isotopes, 1986
An improved radiochemical synthesis of (3-N-[11C]methyl) spiperone is reported. The radiotracer was prepared by N-alkylation of spiperone in dimethylformamide in the presence of equimolar aqueous tetrabutylammonium hydroxide and was purified by semi-preparative reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography (C-18 HPLC). The average radiochemical

Platelet Activating Factor Receptor Activation Improves siRNA Uptake and RNAi Responses in Well-differentiated Airway Epithelia

open access: yesMolecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids, 2014
Well-differentiated human airway epithelia present formidable barriers to efficient siRNA delivery. We previously reported that treatment of airway epithelia with specific small molecules improves oligonucleotide uptake and facilitates RNAi responses ...

Identification, functional characterization and pharmacological profile of a serotonin type-2b receptor in the medically important insect, Rhodnius prolixus

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2015
In the Chagas disease vector, Rhodnius prolixus, two diuretic hormones act synergistically to dramatically increase fluid secretion by the Malpighian tubules (MTs) during the rapid diuresis that is initiated upon engorgement of vertebrate blood.
