Anxiolytics and anticonvulsants generally positively modulate the action of GABA, whereas many convulsants (including the chloride channel blocker picrotoxinin) negatively modulate the action of GABA on GABAA receptors. Like picrotoxinin, bilobalide and ginkgolide B, active constituents of Ginkgo
The pharmacological effects of leaf extracts (EGb 761) from Ginkgo biloba L. are attributed to ginkgolides, bilobalide and biflavonoids. However, besides these beneficial attributes, ginkgotoxin, a B(6) antivitamin which may cause epileptic convulsions, other severe neuronal disorders and even
At many central synapses, endocannabinoids released by postsynaptic cells act retrogradely on presynaptic G-protein-coupled cannabinoid receptors to inhibit neurotransmitter release. Here, we demonstrate that cannabinoids may directly affect the functioning of inhibitory glycine receptor (GlyR)
Cytochrome P450 2B6 (CYP2B6) is expressed predominantly in human liver. It catalyzes the oxidative biotransformation of various drugs, including bupropion, which is an antidepressant and a tobacco use cessation agent. Serious adverse effects of high dosages of bupropion have been reported, including
Ginkgo biloba (Ginkgoaceae) is an ancient Chinese tree which has been cultivated and held sacred for its health-promoting properties. There is substantial experimental evidence to support the view that Ginkgo biloba extracts have neuroprotective properties under conditions such as hypoxia/ischemia,
