Its use under these circumstances is both prophylactic and therapeutic. It has a superior efficacy, safety and pharmacoeconomic profile compared with other groups of antiemetics, namely antidopaminergics, antihistamines and anticholinergics. However, its place in the management of anticipatory and delayed vomiting in cancer treatment and as a rescue antiemetic in surgical patients needs to be further explored. Furthermore, recent animal and human research also reflects its possible novel application in the treatment of other disease states, such as alcoholism, cocaine addiction, opioid withdrawal syndrome, anxiety disorders, gastrointestinal motility disorders, Tourette's syndrome and pruritus. This review revisits the widespread physiological and pathological effects of 5-HT and discusses both the basic science literature and the clinical developments responsible for the conventional and novel uses of ondansetron. In addition, new discoveries relating to the effects of ondansetron on other receptors/channels and their possible therapeutic applications are presented.","PeriodicalId":10499,"journal":{"name":"CNS drug reviews","volume":"18 1","pages":"199-213"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90709643","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Evidence has been accumulated to implicate excitotoxicity in the pathogenesis of ischemic brain injury. Overstimulation of excitatory amino acid receptors becomes deleterious for neuronal cell survival. Glutamate antagonists can ameliorate the ischemic injury by any of several mechanisms. Because blockade of the glycine site of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor seems to offer a better side-effect profile, glycine antagonists are attractive targets for blocking excitotoxicity following stroke. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000GV150526 is a selective and potent glycine antagonist at the NMDA receptor complex. It binds to the glycine site with both high affinity and high selectivity in in vitro binding studies. In vivo studies have shown that GV150526 significantly reduces infarct volume in the middle cerebral artery occlusion model of stroke. This effect remained statistically significant, even if treatment was delayed for as long as 6 h post-occlusion. GV150526 showed no evidence of adverse effects usually associated with NMDA receptor blockers, such as neuronal vacuolization in standard assays or cognitive impairment in behavioral tests. GV150526 had no significant treatment-related respiratory or cardiovascular effects or effects on behavior, body temperature, or blood pressure in mice or rats. Pharmacokinetic studies indicated that GV150526 has low clearance and volume of distribution in both the rat and the dog. Preclinical toxicology studies have shown that the compound is well tolerated in both species. Phase I/II studies were undertaken to assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of GV150526 in healthy volunteers and acute stroke patients, and from these a dose was selected to be studied in Phase III clinical trials. These efficacy studies have now completed recruitment and data reconciliation is ongoing. GV150526 has the potential to be an effective therapy for acute ischemic stroke.","PeriodicalId":10499,"journal":{"name":"CNS drug reviews","volume":"1 1","pages":"135-152"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81177821","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These phosphodiesterases are responsible for hydrolysis of the cyclic nucleotides cAMP and cGMP, particularly in nerve and immune cells. Consequences of rolipram-induced elevation of intracellular cAMP are increased synthesis and release of norepinephrine, which enhance central noradrenergic transmission, and suppress expression of proinflammatory cytokines and other mediators of inflammation. In humans and animals rolipram produces thereby a variety of biological effects. These effects include attenuation of endogenous depression and inflammation in the central nervous system (CNS), both effects are of potential clinical relevance. There are some discrepancies between in vitro and in vivo effects of rolipram, as well as between results obtained in animal models and clinical studies. The clinical use of rolipram is limited because of its behavioral and other side effects. Newly developed selective PDE IV inhibitors with presumably higher potency and lower toxicity are currently under investigation.","PeriodicalId":10499,"journal":{"name":"CNS drug reviews","volume":"64 1","pages":"387-98"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79119599","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, SB 242084 has high affinity for the cloned human 5-HT2C receptor with a pKi of 9.0, a much lower affinity for the human cloned 5-HT2B (pKi 7.0) and 5-HT2A (pKi 6.8) receptors, and low affinity for other 5-HT, dopamine, and adrenergic receptors. In the 5-HT-stimulated PI hydrolysis model of 5-HT2C receptor function, SB 242084 was found to be a competitive antagonist with a pKB of 9.3. A series of in vivo studies have shown that SB 242084 is a very effective antagonist of behavioral responses mediated by 5-HT2C receptors such as penile erections, and the hypophagic and hypolocomotor effect of mCPP in rats. In addition, this compound has anxiolytic-like properties. Moreover, SB 242084 increases the basal activity of dopaminergic neurons in the VTA and the in vivo DA release in the nucleus accumbens, and it is capable of blocking the inhibitory effects of mCPP and RO 60-0175 on mesolimbic dopaminergic activity.

A number of diseases termed \"channelopathies\" have been discovered that are caused by ion channel dysfunction. Channelopathies can be caused by autoimmune, iatrogenic, toxic or genetic mechanisms. Mutations in genes encoding ion channel proteins that disrupt channel function are now the most commonly identified cause of channelopathies, perhaps because gene disruption is readily detected by the methods of molecular genetics. Ion channels are abundant in the central nervous system (CNS), but CNS channelopathies are rare; however, they overlap with some important neurological disorders, such as epilepsy, ataxia, migraine, schizophrenia, Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative diseases. It is possible that more CNS channelopathies will be discovered when additional ion channels are characterized and the complex mechanisms of brain function are better understood. At present, increased knowledge of the identity, structure and function of ion channels is facilitating diagnosis and treatment of many channelopathies.","PeriodicalId":10499,"journal":{"name":"CNS drug reviews","volume":"11 1","pages":"214-40"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82443464","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
