Detection of potential effects of orphenadrine upon anesthesia with propofol and/or thiopental in mice [PDF]
Orphenadrine is an anticholinergic drug used in clinics as a muscle relaxant. It acts on several receptors, including muscarinic, histaminic, and NMDA. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of pretreatment with orphenadrine on the anesthesia indices of

Abietic Acid Enhances the Sedative Activity of Diazepam: In vivo Approach along with Receptor Binding Affinity and Molecular Interaction with the GABAergic System. [PDF]
Abietic acid (AA) reveals potent sedative potential by expressing fast sleeping onset and increased sleeping duration compare to the control group in thiopental sodium induced sleeping mice. The compound also exhibited notable binding affinity (–7.9 kcal/mol) toward GABAA receptors.

Imaging Microglial/Macrophage Activation in Spinal Cords of Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis Rats by Positron Emission Tomography Using the Mitochondrial 18kDa Translocator Protein Radioligand [18F]DPA-714 [PDF]
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory demyelinating disease of the CNS. Activated microglia/macrophages play a key role in the immunopathogenesis of MS and its corresponding animal models, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE).

Thiopental inhibits global protein synthesis by repression of eukaryotic elongation factor 2 and protects from hypoxic neuronal cell death. [PDF]
Ischemic and traumatic brain injury is associated with increased risk for death and disability. The inhibition of penumbral tissue damage has been recognized as a target for therapeutic intervention, because cellular injury evolves progressively upon ATP-

The role of setting for ketamine abuse: clinical and preclinical evidence [PDF]
Drug abuse is often seen as a unitary phenomenon, partly as a result of the discovery over the past three decades of shared mechanisms of action for addictive substances. Yet the pattern of drug taking is often very different from drug to drug.
