Journal ArticleDOI

Structure−Activity Relationship Studies on a Series of Novel, Substituted 1-Benzyl-5-phenyltetrazole P2X7 Antagonists

TL;DR: 1-Benzyl-5-aryltetrazoles were discovered to be novel antagonists for the P2X(7) receptor and advanced to efficacy studies in a model of neuropathic pain where significant reversal of mechanical allodynia was observed at doses that did not affect motor coordination.
Journal ArticleDOI

P2X7-related modulation of pathological nociception in rats

TL;DR: ATP, acting through the P2X7 receptor, exerts a wide-ranging influence on spinal neuronal activity following a chronic injury and is likely mediated through immuno-neural interactions that affect the release of endogenous cytokines.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mammalian P2X7 receptor pharmacology: comparison of recombinant mouse, rat and human P2X7 receptors

TL;DR: Acute activation of P2X7 receptors rapidly opens a non‐selective cation channel and sustained P2x7 receptor activation leads to the formation of cytolytic pores, mediated by downstream recruitment of hemichannels to the cell surface.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase and Caspase Signaling Pathways Are Required for P2X7 Receptor (P2X7R)-Induced Pore Formation in Human THP-1 Cells

TL;DR: The hypothesis that downstream cellular signaling mechanisms, rather than channel dilation, mediate cytolytic pore formation after prolonged agonist activation is supported, which underlies P2X7 receptors.
