Effects of SA13353, a transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 agonist, on leukocyte infiltration in lipopolysaccharide-induced acute lung injury and ovalbumin-induced allergic airway inflammation.

We recently demonstrated that SA13353, a transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) agonist, reduced the severity of the symptoms of kidney injury, arthritis, and encephalomyelitis in disease models. Here, we investigated the effects of orally administered SA13353 on leukocyte infiltration in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury and ovalbumin-induced allergic airway inflammation. In LPS-induced lung injury, SA13353 attenuated neutrophil infiltration and the increase of TNF-alpha and CINC-1 levels.

Transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 agonists as candidates for anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory agents.

We recently demonstrated that SA13353 [1-[2-(1-adamantyl)ethyl]-1-pentyl-3-[3-(4-pyridyl)propyl]urea], a novel transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) agonist, inhibits TNF-alpha production through the activation of capsaicin-sensitive afferent neurons. In the present study, we investigated the effects of SA13353 on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced cytokine production and a murine model of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). SA13353 inhibited LPS-induced TNF-alpha and interleukin (IL)-1beta production while augmenting IL-10 production in mice.

Preventive effect of SA13353 [1-[2-(1-adamantyl)ethyl]-1-pentyl-3-[3-(4-pyridyl)propyl]urea], a novel transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 agonist, on ischemia/reperfusion-induced renal injury in rats.

Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of ischemia/reperfusion-induced renal injury. We demonstrated recently that the preischemic treatment with resiniferatoxin, a transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) agonist, attenuates renal TNF-alpha mRNA expression and improves ischemia/reperfusion-induced renal injury in rats. In addition, we found that SA13353 [1-[2-(1-adamantyl)ethyl]-1-pentyl-3-[3-(4-pyridyl)propyl]urea], a novel orally active TRPV1 agonist, inhibits TNF-alpha production through the activation of capsaicin-sensitive afferent neurons and reduces the severity of symptoms in established rat collagen-induced arthritis.

SA13353 (1-[2-(1-Adamantyl)ethyl]-1-pentyl-3-[3-(4-pyridyl)propyl]urea) inhibits TNF-alpha production through the activation of capsaicin-sensitive afferent neurons mediated via transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 in vivo.

Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) is known to play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis. In the present study, we demonstrate the effects of SA13353 (1-[2-(1-Adamantyl)ethyl]-1-pentyl-3-[3-(4-pyridyl)propyl]urea), a novel orally active inhibitor of TNF-alpha production, in animal models, and its mechanism of action on TNF-alpha production. SA13353 significantly inhibited lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced TNF-alpha production in a dose-dependent manner in rats.

Dopamine D1 receptors regulate protein synthesis-dependent long-term recognition memory via extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 in the prefrontal cortex.

Several lines of evidence suggest that extracellular signal-regulated kinase1/2 (ERK1/2) and dopaminergic system is involved in learning and memory. However, it remains to be determined if the dopaminergic system and ERK1/2 pathway contribute to cognitive function in the prefrontal cortex (PFC). The amount of phosphorylated ERK1/2 was increased in the PFC immediately after exposure to novel objects in the training session of the novel object recognition test.
