A series of 25 aryloxypropanolamines containing the 3-indolyl-tert-butyl [i.e., 1,1-dimethyl-2-(1H-indol-3-yl)ethyl] or substituted 3-indolyl-tert-butyl moiety as the N substituent is reported. These compounds have been tested for antihypertensive activity in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), beta-adrenergic receptor antagonist action in conscious normotensive rats, vasodilating activity in ganglion-blocked rats with blood pressure maintained by angiotensin II infusion, and for intrinsic sympathomimetic action (ISA) in reserpinized rats. Some of the compounds exhibit antihypertensive activity in combination with beta adrenergic receptor antagonist and vasodilating action. The structure--activity relationships in these tests are discussed.

Chronotropic effects of milrinone in a guinea pig ex vivo model: a pilot study to screen for new mechanisms of action.

Positive inotropic responses upon administration of milrinone, an inhibitor of the phosphodiesterase enzyme (PDE), involve a well-pronounced positive chronotropic effect. Here we tested whether milrinone evokes this chronotropic response solely by PDE inhibition or by a concerted action that involve additional pharmacological targets. Milrinone stimulated increases in heart rate were studied in right atrial preparations of guinea pig in the presence or absence of inhibitors of putative ancillary molecular pathways or ion channels: i.

Indoleamine 2,3-Dioxygenase 1/Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor Feedback Loop Mediates Anti-inflammation in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated Astrocytes to Dampen Inflammatory Neurotoxicity.

Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) is a ligand-activated transcription factor that regulates cell immune responses in a cell type-specific and ligand-dependent manner. In the central nervous system, astrocytic AhR plays important roles in regulating neuroinflammation by mediating responses to endogenous ligands generated from the inflammation-induced indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1)/kynurenine (KYN) pathway. We previously demonstrated that reduction of AhR expression decreases lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced pro-inflammatory responses in microglia.

Background: This study examines the impact of Phα1β, a spider peptide derived from the venom of , on the Kv11.1 potassium channel in HEK293 cells transfected with the human ERG potassium channel. Phα1β inhibits high-voltage calcium channels and acts as an antagonist of the TRPA1 receptor, both of which play crucial roles in pain transduction pathways.
