Article Abstract
In the search for potent dual norepinephrine and dopamine reuptake inhibitors, several substituted arylpiperazine-tetrazoles were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their neurotransmitter reuptake inhibitory activities. Various derivatives exhibited selective and strong neurotransmitter reuptake inhibitory activity. In particular, compounds with a three-carbon linker displayed selective and stronger potency than those with two-carbon and four-carbon linkers. Interestingly, six compounds, 9b, 9c, 9d, 9o, 9q and 9u displayed more effective activity than the standard drug, bupropion. The provided SAR data and potent biological activity can offer useful guidelines for designing dual norepinephrine and dopamine reuptake inhibitors as effective therapeutic agents for treatment of several central nervous system diseases.

Depression in cancer survivors is commonly treated with serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), such as venlafaxine. These drugs alleviate depressive symptoms by inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin and norepinephrine. However, a novel approach has emerged with the development of -2-phenylcyclopropylamine (PCPA)-drug conjugates that inhibit lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1), which is a biomarker and molecular target for cancer therapy.

The primary aim of this study was to establish that levomilnacipran potently inhibits norepinephrine (NE) reuptake in human participants starting at a minimally efficacious regimen in major depressive disorder (MDD) and to determine the dose needed to significantly inhibit serotonin (5-HT) reuptake. The secondary aim was to confirm that duloxetine is a selective 5-HT reuptake inhibitor at its minimally effective regimen in MDD and that it significantly inhibits NE reuptake only with dose escalation. Inhibition of the NE reuptake process was estimated by assessing the attenuation of the systolic blood pressure produced by intravenous injections of small doses of tyramine.

In the context of the increasing global prevalence of mental health disorders, depression and anxiety have emerged as significant public health challenges. Notably, the incidence rates are higher in plateau regions. This study aimed to investigate the effects and underlying mechanisms of a high-fat diet (HFD) and hypoxic conditions on mouse behavior.

Introduction: Septic shock (SS) is defined as sepsis-induced hypotension persisting despite adequate fluid resuscitation. Modified double filtration plasmapheresis (M-DFPP) is a promising therapeutic approach designed to selectively remove small-to-medium molecular weight inflammatory mediators while preserving essential plasma proteins, potentially restoring immune balance and stabilizing hemodynamics in patients with SS.
Methods: Eligible patients diagnosed with SS will be enrolled in this randomized controlled trial.
Unlabelled: Respiration is an essential involuntary function necessary for survival. This poses a challenge for the control of breathing. The preBötzinger complex (preBötC) is a heterogeneous neuronal network responsible for driving the inspiratory rhythm.
