This study examined the vasorelaxant effects of two similar alkaloids, chloroquine and cinchonine, in a model of smooth muscle contractions induced by phenylephrine. Results are not reported in the abstract.

This review discusses the pharmacological properties and therapeutic potential of K+ channel opening compounds, noting their prospective use in treating cardiovascular and respiratory conditions, but reports no new results.

Nitrendipine and nifedipine effectively block muscle contractions, while papaverine relaxes them and minoxidil needs high amounts to work.

This laboratory study concluded that TRPA1 and TRPV1 channels do not play a role in mechanotransduction processes in slowly adapting type II mechanoreceptors in isolated rat sinus hair follicles.

This study found that camphor and similar compounds depress neural activity in rat mechanoreceptors, suggesting that their effects may not be mediated through TRP channels.

This study found that cromakalim and pinacidil significantly inhibited porcine detrusor muscle contractions, suggesting these ATP-sensitive potassium channel openers may have potential in treating certain bladder diseases.

This review identified two promising therapeutic targets for drug repurposing to treat refractory angina in patients with angina pectoris without obstructive coronary artery disease: endothelin-1 receptor blockers and soluble guanylate cyclase stimulators.

This study reports that the nuclear receptor co-repressor 1 (NCoR1) inhibits cardiac hypertrophy by stabilizing the MEF2 and class II HDACs complex, potentially offering a target for new therapies.

In this study, researchers developed a biomimetic anti-inflammatory nanosystem (MM-CEP/NLCs) that significantly reduced the severity of acute lung injury in vivo by targeting and accumulating in lung inflammation sites, showcasing its potential for treating inflammation.
