Effects at a distance in α7 nAChR selective agonists: Benzylidene substitutions that regulate potency and efficacy
The potency and efficacy of α7 agonists page 2 Summary Anabaseine is a marine worm toxin that is a relatively non-selective nicotinic agonist, activating both muscle-type and neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR) with varying efficacy. While anabaseine has significant activity with muscle-type and neuronal α3β4 and α4β2 receptors, benzylidene anabaseine (BA) derivatives have high s...
متن کاملPaeoniflorin has anti-inflammation and neurogenesis functions through nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury rats
Objective(s): Paeoniflorin (PF) has anti-oxidation, anti-inflammation, anti-apoptosis, and neuroprotection pharmacological effects against ischemic injury. The aim of the present study was to investigate the neuroprotection mechanisms of PF in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury rats.Materials and Methods: We established an animal model of cerebral infarct by occlusion of the middle cerebral a...
متن کاملFunctional alpha7 nicotinic receptors are expressed on immature granule cells of the postnatal dentate gyrus
Neurogenesis occurs throughout life in the subgranular zone of the dentate gyrus, and postnatal-born granule cells migrate into the granule cell layer and extend axons to their target areas. The α7*nicotinic receptor has been implicated in neuronal maturation during development of the brain and is abundant in interneurons of the hippocampal formation of the adult brain. Signalling through these...
متن کاملAlpha7 Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor Is a Target in Pharmacology and Toxicology
Alpha7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7 nAChR) is an important part of the cholinergic nerve system in the brain. Moreover, it is associated with a cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway in the termination of the parasympathetic nervous system. Antagonists of α7 nAChR are a wide group represented by conotoxin and bungarotoxin. Even Alzheimer's disease drug memantine acting as an antagonist i...

Kaolinite clay found its application in medicine, in toothpaste, in cosmetic and as a food additive. Recently, a specially formulated spray is used in fruit and vegetable production to repel the insects and prevent sunburn. Kaolin-SO3H nanoparticles were prepared via reaction of kaolin and chlorosulfonic acid and characterized by FT-IR, XRD, FESEM, TEM, XRF, EDS, BET and TGA. 2-Substituted benz...
