Mirtazapine, an antidepressant commonly prescribed for maternal depression, has an unclear impact on offspring neurophysiology and behaviour. We hypothesized that maternal mirtazapine treatment during pregnancy and lactation would influence locomotor activity, exploratory behaviour, and hippocampal synaptic plasticity in rat offspring, particularly in the context pre-gestational stress.Offspring from control or chronically stressed dams, treated with either vehicle or mirtazapine, were assessed. Behavioural responses were evaluated using the open field test, and the hippocampus was examined electrophysiologically to measure population spike (PS) amplitude of compound action potential, field excitatory postsynaptic potential (fEPSP) slope, short-term plasticity, and long-term potentiation (LTP).Maternal stress significantly reduced exploration of the central zone, indicating increased anxiety-like behaviour, although <i>post hoc</i> comparisons did not reach significance. Mirtazapine treatment did not reverse these behavioural alterations. PS amplitude was unaffected across groups, but fEPSP slope was significantly reduced in stressed offspring, with no recovery observed following mirtazapine treatment. Paired-pulse ratios across inter-pulse intervals (10-100 ms) were consistently decreased in the stressed group, indicating impaired short-term synaptic plasticity, which mirtazapine did not restore. In contrast, LTP showed a significant stress×treatment interaction (<i>p</i>=0.0201), suggesting that mirtazapine selectively enhanced long-term plasticity in stressed offspring.Mirtazapine did not reverse behavioural impairments or basal synaptic transmission deficits induced by maternal stress. It may selectively enhance long-term synaptic plasticity, suggesting its potential to modulate specific neurodevelopmental outcomes following prenatal stress exposure.</p>","PeriodicalId":11451,"journal":{"name":"Drug Research","volume":" ","pages":"308-319"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144946684","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}

This approach holds immense potential for improving therapeutic efficacy and minimizing adverse drug reactions. With the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence, deep learning has emerged as a transformative tool in pharmacology, enabling precise modeling of complex biological data and uncovering hidden patterns in patient-specific information. This study investigates the application of deep learning techniques - such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), Transformer architectures, and Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) - in optimizing personalized treatment strategies. Using a diverse dataset comprising electronic health records (EHRs), genomic sequences, and clinical indicators, we developed and trained deep learning models for tasks including drug response prediction, biomarker identification, and adverse drug reaction (ADR) forecasting. Among the models evaluated, Transformer-based architectures demonstrated superior performance, achieving an accuracy of 91.2% and an AUC-ROC of 0.92 in drug response prediction tasks. Moreover, the integration of deep learning models into the treatment pipeline resulted in a 20-30% improvement in drug-patient matching efficiency compared to traditional statistical methods. The findings underscore the potential of AI-powered systems to enhance clinical decision-making and enable precision pharmacotherapy. However, challenges such as data privacy, model interpretability, and regulatory compliance remain critical barriers to widespread adoption.

The scientific community is becoming more interested in curcumin, one of these therapeutic herbs. The plant Curcuma longa, often known as turmeric, has a bioactive compound called curcumin in its rhizome. Antioxidant, cardio-protective, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, nephro-protective, anti-neoplastic, hepato-protective, immunomodulatory, hypoglycemic, and anti-rheumatic effects are among the various pharmacological and biological effects of curcumin that have been reported by both in vitro and in vivo studies.

Recent preclinical studies and clinical trials have shown strong evidence of curcumin's vital roles in preventing type 2 diabetes via a number of pathways. Thus, the antidiabetic action of curcumin and its many mechanisms are comprehensively summarized in this study. The findings indicated that curcumin's anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, antihyperglycemic, antiapoptotic, and antihyperlipidemic properties, among others, account for its success in treating type 2 diabetes.
