Unlabelled: Several studies have reported a high prevalence of missed and delayed mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or mild dementia diagnosis, which could lead to delayed treatment and increased patient and caregiver burden.
Objectives: This study aimed to develop a new questionnaire for nonprofessionals to help detect early signs of MCI and dementia. Respondents included patients, family caregivers, or health professionals.
Purpose: To clarify the mechanism of inhibitory action of TRK-130 (Naltalimide), a unique µ-opioid receptor partial agonist, on the micturition reflex.
Methods: The effect of TRK-130 on isovolumetric rhythmic bladder contractions (RBCs) was examined in guinea pigs, the effect of which was clarified by co-treatment with naloxone or in spinal cord transection. The effect of TRK-130 on urodynamic parameters was also observed in guinea pigs.
We characterized TRK-130 (N-[(5R,6R,14S)-17-(cyclopropylmethyl)-4,5-epoxy-3,14-dihydroxymorphinan-6-yl]phthalimide; naltalimide), an opioid ligand, to clarify the therapeutic potential for overactive bladder (OAB). In radioligand-binding assays with cells expressing human µ-opioid receptors (MORs), δ-opioid receptors (DORs), or κ-opioid receptors (KORs), TRK-130 showed high selectivity for MORs (Ki for MORs, DORs, and KORs = 0.268, 121, and 8.
