Prevention of epileptic seizures by targeting canonical transient receptor potential (TRPC) channels in the brain

10 mg/kg (i.p.) M084 hydrochloride was administered 30 minutes prior to a widely used model of seizure induction in mice (pilocarpine-induced seizure). The TRPC channel antagonist significantly blocked seizure activity, compared to vehicle-injected control animals. We will investigate TRPC channel block for control of seizures in multiple mouse models...

Oxytocin to prevent, reduce and reverse Opioid-Induced Respiratory Depression

Opioid-induced respiratory depression is the primary cause of death due to overdose. Opioid antagonism by naloxone (Narcan), the only FDA-approved drug to treat opioid overdose, causes severe withdrawal related pain and stress in resuscitation patients. Therefore, there is a desperate need for drug targets that counter respiratory depression by opioids...

An improved muscarinic-antagonist antidepressant

Scopolamine, a non-selective muscarinic antagonist, is a rapidly effective antidepressant compoundin humans likely mediated through an antimuscarinic effect. Unfortunately, scopolamine canproduce cognitive impairment including memory disturbances in humans. It is our goal to identifya muscarinic antagonist that may be able to relieve depression without...

New approach for treating functional dyspepsia

My inventive idea is to use a therapeutic molecule that slows gastric emptying for the treatment of functional dyspepsia in non-diabetic patients. This contrarian idea is based on our research of gastric emptying which shows that 30% of non-diabetic patients referred for gastric emptying studies due to gastrointestinal symptoms have elevated postprandial...

Pharmacological manipulation of M-type (KCNQ, Kv7) potassium currents as a therapeutic target for treatment of addiction

Members of KCNQ2-5 (Kv7.2-7.5) K+ channel subunits underlie the neuronal M-type K+ current, a critical regulator of neuronal excitability, including resting membrane potential, threshold excitability and spike bursting. Inhibition of M-type channels is excitatory, whereas their augmentation usually has an inhibitory, silencing effect. M current has...

Dopamine 2 Receptor agonists as new therapeutics for Age Related Macular Degeneration and Diabetic Retinopathy

By understanding and controlling activation of specific dopamine receptors, we showed that the current dopamine pathway drugs can be used in new ways as new therapeutics to treat wet age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) and diabetic retinopathy (DR). It will reduce the chance of a side effect of conventional ARMD or DR therapy, leading to vision...

CsA treatment for BRCA1 mutant cancers

I have demonstrated that BRCA1-mutant triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells are highly sensitive to cyclosporine (CsA) and non-immunosuppressive CsA-derivatives (NIM811 or Alisporivir). To determine whether CsA would also be effective in treating BRCA1-mutant TNBC cells in vivo, I set up a pilot study using a preclinical xenograft model to investigate...

A new approach for treatment of liver cancers

The early stage of hepatocellular carinoma (HCC) tumors (<5cm) can either be excised surgically, or removed byablation therapy, but treatment of advanced stage HCC remain challegning. Since, HCC and other liver cancersare diagnosed at advanced stage, their surgical excision is not feasible. The existing front- and second-linetherapies for advanced...

Gene Transfer to Improve Cognitive Dysfunction in Alzheimer’s Disease

University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio researchers have developed a unique therapeutic approach which could restore learning and memory ability in those afflicted with Alzheimer’s Disease and other neurodegenerative diseases. Abnormalities in the expression of cAMP-response element binding protein (CREB) have been reported in...
