Pharmacological actions of the antidepressant venlafaxine beyond aminergic receptors.
The present study examines the effects of the antidepressant venlafaxine, a dual amine reuptake inhibitor, on (a) in vivo regulation of the densities of high- and low-affinity dihydroalprenolol (DHA) binding sites in the cortex of normal and reserpinized Sprague-Dawley rats and (b) targets beyond the beta adrenoceptor. While venlafaxine (30 mg/kg i.p. b.i.d.) administered for 4 d did not alter ...
متن کاملArtemisinins: pharmacological actions beyond anti-malarial.
Artemisinins are a family of sesquiterpene trioxane lactone anti-malarial agents originally derived from Artemisia annua L. The anti-malarial action of artemisinins involves the formation of free radicals via cleavage of the endoperoxide bond in its structure, which mediate eradication of the Plasmodium species. With its established safety record in millions of malarial patients, artemisinins a...

متن کاملModulation of microglial function by the antidepressant drug venlafaxine
An increasing amount of data suggests that depression is an inflammatory disease. Depressed patients have higher peripheral blood levels of inflammatory markers which have been shown to access the brain and interact with the pathophysiological domain known to be involved in depression. Furthermore, microglia activation may play an important role in the inflammatory pathophysiology of depression...
متن کاملRole of serotonin 5-HT1A receptors in the antidepressant-like effect and the antinociceptive effect of venlafaxine in mice.
The present study was undertaken to evaluate the potential role of 5-HT1A receptors in the antidepressant-like effect and antinociceptive effect of venlafaxine. With this aim, the effect of either a selective 5-HT1A receptor antagonist (WAY-100635; N-2-[4-(2-methoxyphenyl-1-piperazinyl]ethyl]-N-2-pyridinylcyclohexane carboxamide) or a selective 5-HT1A receptor agonist (8-OH-DPAT; 8-hydroxy-2-(d...
