Cytokines as Targets for Immunomodulation
Immunomodulators, modify the activity of immune function through the impulsive modulation of informational molecules such as cytokines. This may propose an explanation of the effects of herbs on the immune system and other tissues. The immune system is a part of body to find the pathogen by using a specific receptor to create instantly response by the activation of immune components cells, cyto...
متن کاملIon channels as targets for cancer therapy.
Cancer is a leading cause of death in the world. Conventional treatments have severe side effects and low survival rate. It is important to discover new targets and therapeutic strategies to improve the clinical outcomes of cancer patients. Ion channels are specialized membrane proteins that play important roles in various physiological processes. Recent studies have shown that abnormal express...
متن کاملPotassium channels as targets for therapeutic intervention.
The potassium channel superfamily presents a rich source of targets for therapeutic intervention. Indeed, the development of specific potassium channel modulators could lead to the effective treatment of various diseases for which current therapies are clearly suboptimal. Numerous factors play a role in determining whether the successful clinical development of such drugs can ever be achieved. ...
متن کاملSodium Channels as Targets for Volatile Anesthetics
The molecular mechanisms of modern inhaled anesthetics are still poorly understood although they are widely used in clinical settings. Considerable evidence supports effects on membrane proteins including ligand- and voltage-gated ion channels of excitable cells. Na(+) channels are crucial to action potential initiation and propagation, and represent potential targets for volatile anesthetic ef...
متن کاملTRP channels as drug targets.
Ca2+ channel antagonists acting on electrically-excitable cells have proved to be valuable therapeutic agents. The discovery of such agents and the identification of their molecular target resulted from the investigation of unexpected actions of known pharmacological agents. Ca2+ influx through receptor-operated channels in electrically non-excitable cells such as leukocytes is also functionall...
