δ Subunit-containing GABAA receptors are preferred targets for the centrally acting analgesic flupirtine
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The Kv 7 channel activator flupirtine is a clinical analgesic characterized as 'selective neuronal potassium channel opener'. Flupirtine was found to exert comparable actions at GABAA receptors and Kv 7 channels in neurons of pain pathways, but not in hippocampus. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH Expression patterns of GABAA receptors were explored in immunoblots of rat dorsal roo...
متن کاملInvolvement of central opiate receptors in modulation of centrally administered oxytocin-induced antinociception
Objective(s): Oxytocin is involved in modulation of many brain-mediated functions. In the present study, we investigated the central effects of oxytocin and its receptor antagonist, atosiban on inflammatory pain. The contribution of opiate receptors was explored using non-selective and selective antagonists. Materials and Methods: The fourth ventricle of the brain of anesthetized rats was impla...
متن کاملPresynaptic I1-imidazoline receptors reduce GABAergic synaptic transmission in striatal medium spiny neurons.
Imidazoline receptors are expressed widely in the CNS. In the present study, whole-cell patch-clamp recordings were made from medium spiny neurons in dorsal striatum slices from the rat brain, and the roles of I1-imidazoline receptors in the modulation of synaptic transmission were studied. Moxonidine, an I1-imidazoline receptor agonist, decreased the GABAA receptor-mediated IPSCs in a concentr...
متن کاملLNP 906, the first high-affinity photoaffinity ligand selective for I1 imidazoline receptors.
1 The hypotensive effect of imidazoline-like drugs, such as clonidine, was attributed both to alpha2-adrenergic receptors and nonadrenergic imidazoline receptors, which are divided into I1, I2 and I3 subtypes. 2 We have recently synthesized a derivative of (2-(2-chloro-4-iodo-phenylamino)-5-methyl-pyrroline (LNP 911), the first high-affinity and selective ligand for I1 receptors (I1R), with a p...
متن کاملA new pyrroline compound selective for I1-imidazoline receptors improves metabolic syndrome in rats.
Symptoms of the metabolic syndrome (MetS), such as insulin resistance, obesity, and hypertension, have been associated with sympathetic hyperactivity. In addition, the adiponectin pathway has interesting therapeutic potentials in MetS. Our purpose was to investigate how targeting both the sympathetic nervous system and the adipose tissue (adiponectin secretion) with a drug selective for nonadre...
