5-HT Receptor
5-HT4 receptors facilitate cholinergic neurotransmission throughout the murine gastrointestinal tract
282 views | Dec 11 2018
Pauwelyn V et al. showed that in the murine gastrointestinal tract, activation of 5-HT4 receptors with prucalopride enhances cholinergic contractions, illustrating facilitation of myenteric cholinergic neurotransmission. The degree of enhancement with prucalopride is of similar magnitude as previously reported in other species, but the effective concentrations are lower than those needed in the gastrointestinal tract of other species.

Mi G et al. suggested that l-THBr may produce potent anxiolytic-like effects mainly through serotonin receptors. [Read the Full Post]
Tracking gastrointestinal transit of solids in aged rats as pharmacological models of chronic dysmotility

Dalziel JE et al. demonstrated that loperamide slowed overall transit in aged rats, while prucalopride increased stomach emptying and accelerates colonic transit. [Read the Full Post]
Human UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) 2B10: Validation of cotinine as a selective probe substrate, inhibition by UGT enzyme selective inhibitors and antidepressant and antipsychotic drugs, and structural determinants of enzyme inhibition

Pattanawongsa A, et al.'s result indicates that these drugs may perpetrate inhibitory drug-drug interactions when coadministered with compounds that are cleared predominantly by UGT2B10. [Read the Full Post]
