We describe here a series of 5-HT2A inverse-agonists that when dosed in rats, both consolidate the stages of NREM sleep, resulting in fewer awakenings, and increase a physiological measure of sleep…

We use a previously developed CoMFA model to design a series of new structures of high selectivity and efficacy towards the β2-adrenergic receptor. 

In this study, lysosomal clearance of α-synuclein in vivo was indicated by the detection of α-synuclein in the lumen of lysosomes isolated from the mouse midbrain.

This proof-of-concept study used solid-phase microextraction fibers (SPME) to collect headspace vapors from a methicillin sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) and a methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strain grown in vitro in liquid growth medium.

Here we report that the chemotherapeutic drug SU11248 (sunitinib) is at least as potent an inhibitor of AMPK as compound C, which is a commonly used experimental direct inhibitor of…

Three independent risk factors are associated with patent ductus arteriosus that fail to close during prostaglandin inhibition.

One main area of this research has focused on the neuropsychological sequelae of alcoholism, which has resulted in the description of a pattern of sparing and impairment that provided an…

A perspective on the preclinical development of two hydroxypyridonate actinide decorporation agents, 3,4,3-LI(1,2-HOPO) and 5-LIO(Me-3,2-HOPO), is presented. The chemical syntheses of both candidate compounds have been optimized for scale-up.
