    unreferenced date April 2009 Enox Biopharma is a Canadian company developing antimicrobial medical devices coated with Nitric Oxide . These products include urinary catheters, endotracheal tubes, central venous lines and other short term indwelling devices. Nitric Oxide gas gNO is produced in various cell types, has a short half life of about six seconds and is part of the body s innate response to inflammatory and immune processes. More specifically, gNO has been shown to play an important role in vasodilatation, neurotransmission, angiogenesis, modulation of wound healing and response to infection. Experimental evidence has demonstrated a broad range of antimicrobial activity against a growing list of both gram positive and gram negative bacteria, fungi and viruses.

  1. Endocannabinoid reuptake inhibitor

    Endocannabinoid reuptake inhibitors eCBRI , similar to cannabinoid reuptake inhibitors CBRI , are substances which limit or completely stop the reabsorption of endocannabinoid neurotransmitters into their corresponding pre synaptic neuron es. Etymology There are several parts to the phrase endocannabinoid reuptake inhibitor. First, a reuptake inhibitor is a substance that prevents its respective neurotransmitters from being reabsorbed into the pre sypnatic neurones, which makes them continually recycle themselves, thus creating a large increase in neurotransmission. Next, a cannabinoid is simply a class of closely related substances such as Tetrahydrocannabinol and Cannabidiol . Endo is a prefix used to describe a cannabinoid that is naturally found within an animal. In retrospect, an endocannabinoid reuptake inhibitor is a substance that when ingested by an animal prevents reuptake of its endogenous cannabinoids. Pharmacology The inhibition of endocannabinoid reuptake raises the amount of those neurotransmitters available in the synaptic cleft and therefore increases neurotransmission . Following the increase of neurotransmission in the endocannabinoid system is the stimulation of its functions which, in humans, include suppression of pain perception analgesia , increased appetite , Mood psychology mood elevation and inhibition of short term memory . Use in medicine Other than toxicity research and recreational use, eCBRIs could have some potential in fighting tumors and possibly cancer . A study done in 2004 on rats with thyroid tumors showed that reuptake inhibition of the endocannabinoid system using VDM 11 and AA 5 HT reduced the ultimate size of the tumors in the treated rats. These findings suggest that the use of cannabinoids and or eCBR inhibitors could be used to effectively treat tumors and or cancer, which only adds to the controversy around cannabinoids and the cannabis plant as medicine. As one might expect, combining a cannabinoid receptor antagonist ...   more details

KARs are less well understood than AMPA receptor AMPA and NMDA receptor s, the other ionotropic glutamate receptor s. Kainate postsynaptic receptors are involved in excitatory neurotransmission excitatory neurotransmission . Presynaptic kainate receptors have been implicated in inhibitory neurotransmission inhibitory neurotransmission by modulating release of the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA through a presynaptic mechanism.

  1. Anxiety/aggression-driven depression

    Anxiety aggression driven depression also known as 5 HT related depression is a subtype of Major depressive disorder depression first proposed by the Dutch psychiatrist Herman M. van Praag in 1996. Van Praag has continued to write on this topic in subsequent academic articles. Onset and symptoms This subtype of depression is characterized by onset occurring as a consequence of psychic, somatic or external stressors. If the individual s stress threshold is insufficient or overly sensitive, a prolonged stress response via the HPA axis can trigger anxiety followed by significant lowing in mood, the mechanisms of which act to reenforce each other, keeping the sufferer in a perpetual state of stress arousal, coupled with dysphoria. This occurs as a result of the stress response inhibiting the normal expression of neurotransmitters associated with wellbeing and pleasure. ref cite journal pmid 11383984 title Anxiety aggression driven depression. A paradigm of functionalization and verticalization of psychiatric diagnosis last van Praag first HM journal Prog Neuropsychopharmacol Biol Psychiatry year 2001 volume 25 issue 4 pages 893 924 ref Sufferers can experience panic attacks , depersonalization and other psychic and somatic symptoms common to both anxiety and depression disorders.

This is important for the study of the TAAR1 receptor, as while numerous other compounds are known which act as TAAR1 agonists, such as methamphetamine , MDMA and 3 iodothyronamine , all previously known TAAR1 agonists are either weak and rapidly metabolized, or have strong pharmacological activity at other targets, making it very difficult to assess which effects are due to TAAR1 activation. The discovery of RO 5166017 allows purely TAAR1 mediated effects to be studied, and in animal studies it was shown to prevent stress induced hyperthermia and block dopamine dependent hyperlocomotion, as well as blocking the hyperactivity which would normally be induced by an NMDA antagonist. ref Revel FG, Moreau JL, Gainetdinov RR, Bradaia A, Sotnikova TD, Mory R, Durkin S, Zbinden KG, Norcross R, Meyer CA, Metzler V, Chaboz S, Ozmen L, Trube G, Pouzet B, Bettler B, Caron MG, Wettstein JG, Hoener MC.
