Actions of Steroids: New Neurotransmitters.
Over the past two decades, the classical understanding of steroid action has been updated to include rapid, membrane-initiated, neurotransmitter-like functions. While steroids were known to function on very short time spans to induce physiological and behavioral changes, the mechanisms by which these changes occur are now becoming more clear. In avian systems, rapid estradiol effects can be med...
متن کاملNew steroids for IBD: progress report.
Corticosteroids remain the benchmark therapy for moderate to severe ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease but are problematic due to unacceptable side effects and lack of maintenance benefits. Developments in corticosteroid chemistry have led to a series of antiinflammatory glucocorticoids with enhanced topical (mucosal) potency and less systemic activity such as prednisolone-metasulphobenzoat...
متن کاملNew 19-Oxygenated Steroids from the Soft Coral Nephthea chabrolii
In order to search for novel bioactive substances from marine organisms, we investigated the acetone extract of the soft coral Nephthea chabrolii collected at San-Hsian-Tai, Taitong County, Taiwan. From this extract three new 19-oxygenated steroids, nebrosteroids N-P (1-3) were isolated. The structures of these compounds were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analyses.
متن کاملF90927: a new member in the class of cardioactive steroids.
F90927 is a newly developed cardioactive drug with a steroid-like structure. It acts directly and agonistically on the cardiac L-type Ca2+ channel by shifting its voltage-dependent activation toward more negative potentials. This leads to an increased influx of Ca2+ and, therefore, to a stronger contraction; however, no arrhythmias occur. Calcium current stimulation can already be observed at n...
متن کاملHormonal influences in multiple sclerosis: new therapeutic benefits for steroids.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is one of the most common neurological disorders. It affects mainly women. This autoimmune disease of the central nervous system (CNS) is characterized by intermittent or chronic damage to the myelin sheaths (demyelination), focal inflammation and axonal degeneration. During the early relapsing/remitting stages of MS, myelin can regenerate, but as the disease progresses ...
