Research suggests beta agonists may alter the immune system
New research at Wake Forest University School of Medicine suggests that certain inhaled asthma medications ?as well as similar chemicals our bodies produce during times of high stress ?may worsen diseases such as asthma, heart failure and lupus that involve inflammation. The scientific team led by Raymond Penn, Ph.D., and Matthew Loza, Ph.D, found that beta-
agonists, such as those used in...

Screening for potential beta 2-adrenergic receptor antagonists using CypHer5E and IN Cell Analyzer 1000
5, a pH sensitive dye, has shown utility in β2-adrenergic receptor agonist screening (1). CypHer5 has been used to obtain dose-response and rank-order potency data for both agonist and antagonist treatment of β2-adrenergic receptor expressing cells (2). For live-cell receptor internalization studies,...
Screening for β2-adrenergic receptor agonists using the pH-sensitive dye,CypHer5, and the IN Cell Analyzer 3000
High-throughput screening for potential targets is a major requirement in drug development and a key application is in the area of receptor activation, particularly G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) (1). <P >It is estimated that there are still 100–200 orphan GPCRs of potential therapeutic value requiring identification of...
The combination of monolithic columns and modern HPLC/MS/MS instrumentation for high chromatographic throughput and sensitive detection of beta-agonists
Beta-
agonists are group A substances of the European guideline 93/257/EWG (revision 98/536/EG) having an anabolic effect and not licensed. Thus, they have to be determined in veterinarian samples like muscle, liver, retina, and urine. The coupling of High Pressure Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and Electrospray Ionization Tandem Mass Spectrometry (ESI-MS-MS) seems to be the analytical m...

Breast Cancer risk for women on dopamine antagonists
A study, by researchers of the Harvard Medical School, of more than 100,000 women, indicates that women who use dopamine ant
agonists, i.e. anti-psychotics, for either psychiatric// illnesses or other conditions, may have an increased risk of breast cancer. The study involved about 52,000 women who were taking dopamine ant
agonists and 55,000 women who were not. The two groups were compa...
