Article Synopsis
  • - Agonists targeting M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors show potential for treating Alzheimer's disease, with xanomeline as a main example, although it has notable side effects.
  • - EUK1001, a modified version of xanomeline, has been effective in reducing neurodegenerative symptoms in mice lacking β-amyloid pathology, suggesting it could be a promising alternative.
  • - In tests, EUK1001 improved cognitive performance in AD model mice and reduced specific amyloid levels, indicating it may work by modifying amyloid precursor protein processing and potentially serve as a viable Alzheimer's treatment.

Butyrate has been recently identified as a natural ligand of the G-protein-coupled receptor 41 (GPR41). In addition, it is an inhibitor of histone deacetylase (HDAC). Butyrate treatment results in the hyperacetylation of histones, with resultant multiple biological effects including inhibition of proliferation, induction of cell cycle arrest, and apoptosis, in a variety of cultured mammalian cells.

Objective: To observe the inhibitory effect of mizolastine on substance P(SP)-induced production of leukotriene B(4) (LTB(4)) and interleukin 5 (IL-5) in mouse skin.

Methods: Mice were fed with different doses of mizolastine or other control drugs, 30 min after administration animals were injected intradermally with SP on the back. The treated skin samples were taken and competitive enzyme-link immunoassay (ELISA) method was applied to detect LTB (4) and IL-5 in the skin samples.
