beta carboline/hypoxia

Neuropharmacological analysis of previously revealed antihypoxic activity of benzodiazepines (BDZ) has been performed in experiments on mice exposed to hypoxia. Antihypoxic effect of diazepam is shown to be antagonized by the central BDZ receptor blocker, Ro 15-1788. A certain degree of antihypoxic

It seems to be satisfactorily proved that reactive oxygen species (ROS) participate in numerous pathological processes in the nervous system (NS). Compounds able to interfere with the action of ROS might be useful in prevention and treatment of these pathologies. The search is focused on compounds

Although drugs targeting the cannabinoid system (e.g., CB1 receptor agonists) display anticonvulsant efficacy in adult animal models of seizures/epilepsy, they remain unexplored in developing animal models. However, cannabinoid system functions emerge early in development, providing a rationale for

Tumor angiogenesis is characterized by abnormal vessel morphology, endowing tumor with highly hypoxia and unresponsive toward treatment. To date, mounting angiogenic factors have been discovered as therapeutic targets in antiangiogenic drug development. Among them, vascular endothelial growth factor
