Ion channels as targets for treatment of gastrointestinal motility disorders.
the relative lack of current drugs targeting ion channels suggests that there are also disadvantages to targeting ion channels. This is indeed the case. Disadvantages include: 1. Most ion channels are expressed in more than one cell type decreasing the ability to target organs 2. Given their critical role in cellular homeostasis, modulation can have significant side effects 3. A specific disadv...
متن کاملPurinergic receptors in gastrointestinal inflammation.
Purinergic receptors comprise a family of transmembrane receptors that are activated by extracellular nucleosides and nucleotides. The two major classes of purinergic receptors, P1 and P2, are expressed widely in the gastrointestinal tract as well as immune cells. The purinergic receptors serve a variety of functions from acting as neurotransmitters, to autocoid and paracrine signaling, to cell...
متن کاملPurinergic receptors as future targets for treatment of functional GI disorders.
The concept of purinergic signalling arose from experiments designed to find the identity of the non-adrenergic, non-cholinergic (NANC) inhibitory neurotransmitter in the gut. However, it has taken many years for the more general importance of the various roles of ATP as a physiological messenger in the gut to be recognised. Later, after the concept of cotransmission was established, ATP, nitri...
متن کاملMetabotropic Glutamate Receptors: Potential Drug Targets for Psychiatric Disorders
Metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGlu receptors) have emerged as new therapeutic targets for psychiatric disorders, such as schizophrenia, depression and anxiety with their regulatory roles in glutamatergic transmissions. To date, several ligands selective for each mGlu receptor have been synthesized, and pharmacological significances of these ligands have been demonstrated in animal models. A...
