Imidazoline I2 receptors (I2-IRs) are altered in Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients and associated with analgesia. I2-IRs not structurally described, their pharmacological characterization relies on modulation by highly affine ligands. Herein, we describe the synthesis of (3-phenylcarbamoyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrrol-2-yl)phosphonates endowed relevant affinities for human brain tissues. The optimal ADME pharmacokinetic profile a selected compound, 12d, secured its vivo exploration senescence...

Abstract Background The aging process causes anatomical and physiological changes that predispose to the development of late-life depression while reduces efficacy classical antidepressants. Novel fast-acting antidepressants such as ketamine might be good candidates explored in context aging, especially given lack previous research on its for this age period. Thus, aim present study was characterize ketamine’s effects older rats. Methods (30 min) repeated (7 days) antidepressant-like (5...

Abstract There is an urgent need for developing novel pharmacological treatment options adolescent depression, and to ensure optimal translational outcome the clinic, sex should be included as a biological variable in preclinical studies. In this context, present study compared antidepressant-like potential of ketamine cannabidiol, with clinical standard fluoxetine, rats exposed maternal deprivation (as model early-life stress), while including perspective. Moreover, changes drug efficacy...

Aberrant activation of tau kinases (tauK) has been proposed as a major step in hyperphosphorylation and misfolding, subsequent formation neurofibrillary tangles (NFT) Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, evidence tauK hyperactivation actual AD brains is scarce inconsistent, their role age-related cognitive decline remains undocumented. We evaluated activated/inhibited species CDK5/p35/p25, GSK3α/β, ERK1/2 well ten tau/phospho-tau (ptau) peptides (mapping Ser202, Thr217, Ser262, Ser305, Ser404...

Imidazoline I2 receptors (I2-IR), widely distributed in the CNS and altered patients that suffer from neurodegenerative disorders, are orphans a structural point of view, new I2-IR ligands urgently required for improving their pharmacological characterization. We report synthesis three-dimensional quantitative structure–activity relationship (3D-QSAR) studies family bicyclic α-iminophosphonates endowed with relevant affinities human brain I2-IR. Acute treatment mice selected compound...

Recent findings unveil the pharmacological modulation of imidazoline I2 receptors (I2-IR) as a novel strategy to face unmet medical neurodegenerative diseases. In this work, we report chemical characterization, three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR) and ADMET in silico family benzofuranyl-2-imidazoles that exhibit affinity against human brain I2-IR most them have been predicted be permeable. Acute treatment mice with 2-(2-benzofuranyl)-2-imidazole, known...

Abstract Fas‐Associated protein with Death Domain (FADD), a key molecule controlling cell fate by balancing apoptotic versus non‐apoptotic functions, is dysregulated in post‐mortem brains of subjects psychopathologies, animal models capturing certain aspects these disorders, and several pharmacological agents. Since persistent disruptions normal functioning daily rhythms are linked conditions, oscillations over time biomarkers, such as FADD, could play crucial role the clinical outcome....

In searching for novel targets to design antidepressants, among the characterized imidazoline receptors (IR), I2 are an innovative therapeutical approach since they dysregulated in major depressive disorder and by classical antidepressant treatments. fact, several agonists have been their antidepressant-like potential, but results terms of efficacy were mixed exclusively reported male rodents. Since there well-known sex differences efficacy, this study potential effects induced two drugs,...

Aging predisposes to late-life depression and since antidepressants are known change their efficacy with age, novel treatment options needed for our increased aged population. In this context, the goal of present study was evaluate potential antidepressant-like effect cannabidiol in rats. For purpose, 19-21-month-old Sprague-Dawley rats were treated 7 days (dose range: 3-30 mg/kg) scored under stress forced-swim test. Hippocampal cannabinoid receptors cell proliferation evaluated as...

The cell fate regulator Fas-associated death domain (FADD) balances with non-apoptotic actions via its phosphorylated form. A recent study associated loss of cortical FADD cognitive decline and increased risk clinical dementia. Since the activation α2A-adrenoceptors improved memory deficits in various animal models working loss, present evaluated whether UK-14304, an α2-adrenoceptor agonist known to acutely regulate brain forms, would improve function middle-aged rats. Sprague-Dawley rats...
