Size-Reduced Macrocyclic Analogues of [Pyr1]-apelin-13 Showing Negative Gα12 Bias Still Produce Prolonged Cardiac Effects.

TL;DR: The synthesized and then evaluated novel macrocyclic compounds of Ape13 to identify agonists with specific pharmacological profiles, leading to the development of analogues 39 and 40, which possess reduced molecular weight and produce a sustained cardiac response up to 6 h after a single subcutaneous bolus injection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Signal Transduction Profiling of Angiotensin II Type 1 Receptor With Mutations Associated to Atrial Fibrillation in Humans

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the effect of mutations in the AT1 receptor (AT1R) signal transduction profile, including I103T-A244S, on β-arrestin 2 recruitment and showed that the same mutation led to downstream modulation of kinase pathways.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pharmacological chaperone action in humanized mouse models of MC4R-linked obesity

TL;DR: In this article, pharmacological chaperones (PCs) that restore folding and plasma membrane trafficking by stabilizing near native protein conformation may represent valid therapeutic avenues for the treatment of melanocortin type 4 receptor-linked (MC4R-linked) obesity.
Journal Article

Non-cholinergic neural excitation of the human rectum induced by acetorphan, an inhibitor of enkephalinase.

TL;DR: Investigation of the effects of acetorphan on the electrical activity of human rectum shows that the rectum is supplied by a rich enkephalinergic innervation, and suggests that the neurotransmitter responsible for this effect is continuously released by the nervous structures implicated in the control of rectal motility.
