متن کاملOpioid receptors: Structural and mechanistic insights into pharmacology and signaling.
Opioid receptors are important drug targets for pain management, addiction, and mood disorders. Although substantial research on these important subtypes of G protein-coupled receptors has been conducted over the past two decades to discover ligands with higher specificity and diminished side effects, currently used opioid therapeutics remain suboptimal. Luckily, recent advances in structural b...
متن کاملVenlafaxine Attenuates Heat Hyperalgesia Independent of Adenosine or Opioid System in a Rat Model of Peripheral Neuropathy
Primarily opioidergic and adenosine mechanisms are considered to be involved in the antinociceptive effects of antidepressants. This study was designed to determine the efficacy of acute venlafaxine administration in alleviating symptoms of neuropathic pain and the role of endogenous adenosine and opioid systems in this effect of venlafaxine. We have evaluated the effect of caffeine, a non-sele...
متن کاملDifferent structural states of the proteolipid membrane are produced by ligand binding to the human delta-opioid receptor as shown by plasmon-waveguide resonance spectroscopy.
Understanding structure-function relationships and mechanisms of signal transduction in G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) is becoming increasingly important, both as a fundamental problem in membrane biology and as a consequence of their central role as pharmacological targets. Their integral membrane nature and rather low natural abundance present many challenging problems. Using a recently ...
