1-[2-[4-(6-fluoro-1H-indol-3-yl)-3,6-dihydro-1(2H)-pyridinyl]ethyl]-3-isopropyl-6-(methylsulphonyl)-3,4-dihydro-1H-2,1,3-benzothiadiazine-2,2-dioxide (LY393558) is a potent inhibitor of [3H]5-hydroxytryptamine ([3H]5-HT) uptake into rat cortical synaptosomes (pIC(50)=8.48+/-0.12). It produces a dextral shift of the 5-HT dose-response curves for the binding of GTPgamma[35S] to human 5-HT(1B) (pK(b)=9.05+/-0.14) and 5-HT(1D) (pK(b)=8.98+/-0.07) receptors and inhibits the contractile response of the rabbit saphenous vein to the 5-HT(1B/D) receptor agonist, sumatriptan (pK(b)=8.4+/-0.2). In addition, it is an antagonist at the 5-HT(2A) (pK(i)=7.29+/-0.19) and 5-HT(2B) (pK(i)=7.35+/-0.11) receptors. Presynaptic autoreceptor antagonist activity was demonstrated by its ability to potentiate the K(+)-induced outflow of [3H]5-HT from guinea pig cortical slices (pEC(50)=7.74+/-0.05 nM) in which the 5-HT transporter had been inhibited by a maximally effective concentration of paroxetine. It is concluded that LY393558 should be an effective antidepressant with the potential to produce an earlier onset of efficacy than selective serotonin uptake inhibitors.

NMDA receptor ligands have therapeutic potential in neurological and psychiatric disorders. We designed ()-3-(5-thienyl)carboxamido-2-aminopropanoic acid derivatives with nanomolar agonist potencies at NMDA receptor subtypes (GluN12/A-D). These compounds are superagonists at GluN1/2C compared to glycine and partial to full agonists at GluN1/2A and GluN1/2D but display functional antagonism at GluN1/2B due to low agonist efficacy.

Food allergy is a complex disease, with multiple environmental factors involved. Considering the regulatory effect of toxin A (Tcd A) on biological processes of allergic reactions, the role of oral exposure to Tcd A on food allergy was investigated. The intestinal permeability and β-hexosaminidase were promoted by Tcd A using the in vitro Caco-2 and HT-29 cells coculture monolayer and bone marrow-derived mast cell (MCs) degranulation model.

Background: Intestinal larva invasion is a crucial step of Trichinella spiralis infection. Intestinal infective larvae (IIL) and their excretory/secretory proteins (ESP) interact with gut epithelium, which often results in gut epithelium barrier injuries. Previous studies showed when T.
