A novel series of arylsulfonamides was prepared either by automated parallel or by traditional solution-phase synthesis. Several members of this compound library were identified as high-affinity dopamine D3 and D2 receptor ligands. The most interesting representative, compound 2, showed potent antipsychotic behaviour coupled with a beneficial cognitive and EPS profile.

Use of the specific binding ratio distribution to characterise multiple system atrophy in advanced iodine-123-labelled N-(3-fluoropropyl)-2β-carbomethoxy-3β-(4-iodophenyl) nortropane serotonin transporter imaging.

Objectives: Sudden death in multiple system atrophy (MSA) is caused by decreased serotonergic innervation, but there is no routine test method for this decrease. In addition to dopamine transporters, iodine-123-labelled N-(3-fluoropropyl)-2β-carbomethoxy-3β-(4-iodophenyl) nortropane (I-FP-CIT) binds serotonin transporters (SERTs). We noted a binding potential to quantify the total quantity of I-FP-CIT binding to its receptors.

Interpreting postmortem concentrations of 3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) remains challenging due to the wide range of reported results and the potential idiosyncratic nature of MDMA toxicity. Consequently, forensic pathologists often rely on a body of evidence to establish conclusions regarding the cause and the manner of death in death involving MDMA. Given these issues, implementing pharmacogenetics' (PGx)' testing may be beneficial.

Isopropylated phenyl phosphates (IPP) are an additive organophosphate flame retardant (OPFR) that has been extensively used in furniture, electronics, automobiles, plastics, and children's products to slow down the spread of fire but its continued leaching leads to toxicity concerns. Toxicological information on this important legacy contaminant is limiting. Using zebrafish, our prior whole embryonic RNA-seq data revealed disruption of gene sets enriched for DNA methylation, neurotransmitter synthesis, retinoic acid signaling and eye development.

Dopamine modulates a wide range of cognitive processes in the prefrontal cortex, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we examined the roles of prefrontal vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP)-expressing neurons and their D1 receptors (D1Rs) in working memory using a delayed match-to-sample task in mice. VIP neurons conveyed robust working-memory signals, and their inactivation impaired behavioral performance.

Dysregulation of the dopamine (DA) system is a hallmark of substance use disorders, including alcohol use disorder (AUD). Of the DA receptor subtypes, the DA D2 receptors (D2Rs) play a key role in the reinforcing effects of alcohol. D2Rs are expressed in numerous brain regions associated with the regulation of appetitive behaviors.
