There is no cure for Marinesco-Sjögren syndrome (MSS), a genetic multisystem disease linked to loss-of-function mutations in the SIL1 gene, encoding a BiP co-chaperone. Previously, we showed that the PERK kinase inhibitor GSK2606414 delays cerebellar Purkinje cell (PC) degeneration and the onset of ataxia in the woozy mouse model of MSS. However, GSK2606414 is toxic to the pancreas and does not completely rescue the woozy phenotype.

This study aims to elucidate current trends in clinical practice for managing depression in elderly patients, focusing on the utilization of pharmacotherapeutics and integrated care models to improve patient outcomes. A comprehensive survey was conducted among physicians from various European countries to gather insights into prescribing habits, treatment patterns, and the impact of comorbidities on therapeutic choices, with a focus on trazodone. The participants included psychiatrists, general practitioners, and neurologists actively involved in elderly depression care.

Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a debilitating condition affecting the patients' life quality. New therapeutic approaches and novel drugs are required to treat TN. Trazodone being a serotonin antagonist and reuptake inhibitor (SARI) provides neuroprotection, however its role and underlying mechanism in TN or are not clear.

Despite the increasing use of drugs to facilitate feline management in veterinary care, there is still a lack of information on the anxiolytic and sedative effects and their specific physiological impacts. We aimed to compare the sedative, hematological, biochemical and cardiovascular effects of oral single-dose trazodone and gabapentin, alone or in combination, in 8 healthy adult mixed-breed domestic cats on a prospective, randomized, cross-over, and placebo-controlled study. Cats were assigned to receive an oral single dose of trazodone (50 mg) (TG), gabapentin (100 mg) (GG), trazodone (50 mg) and gabapentin (100 mg) (GTG), or placebo (PG).

We investigated the inhibitory effects of 32 antidepressants on [H]N-methylscopolamine ([H]NMS)-specific binding in the mouse cerebral neocortex to determine which antidepressants should be recommended for patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Of those tested, nine antidepressants (10 M) exhibited less inhibitory effect on [H]NMS-specific binding (<35%): tianeptine (a tricyclic); trazodone (a serotonin 5-HT blocker); sulpiride (a dopamine D blocker); fluvoxamine (a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (RI)); milnacipran, levomilnacipran, venlafaxine, and desvenlafaxine (serotonin and noradrenaline RIs); and bupropion (a noradrenaline and dopamine RI). Therefore, these antidepressants show little anticholinergic effect in the brain and are recommended for use in patients with AD.
