Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edited by Kenneth A. Jacobson and Michael F. Jarvis The roles of extracellular purines and pyrimidines in cellularhomeostasis and disease etiology have come to be understoodgradually over the past 40 years. However, due to the recentcloning and expression of receptors for ATP and adenosine, novelcompounds have been developed with unique therapeutic potential forthe treatment of thrombosis, stroke, epilepsy, chronic pain,immunological disorders, and cancer. As a result, the study ofadenosine- and ATP-mediated responses in cellular regulation isentering a phase of opportunity and development unmatched since thedays of serotonin receptor research in the 1970s. The only definitive book on the topic, Purinergic Approaches inExperimental Therapeutics covers all of the major therapeuticapplications of purinergic receptors and reflects the very latestdevelopments in this new area of therapeutic research. Twenty-eightchapters, authored by an international group of contributors whoare the leading authorities in the field, provide details onmolecular pharmacology; medicinal chemistry; and therapeuticimplications, including cardiology, metabolism, immunology,neurology, and cancer. Among the topics covered: * Purinergic Neurotransmission and Neuromodulation: A HistoricalPerspective * Adenosine Receptor Subtypes: New Insights from Cloning andFunctional Studies * Modulators of Adenosine Uptake, Release, and Inactivation * Cardiac Electrophysiology of Adenosine: Antiarrhythmic andProarrhythmic Actions * Purinergic Modulation of Gastrointestinal Function * The Role of Adenosine in Asthma * ATP in Brain Function * ATP in the Treatment of Cancer For researchers in pharmacology, physiology, molecular biology, andmedicinal chemistry, Purinergic Approaches in ExperimentalTherapeutics heralds an exciting new era in the understanding ofpurinergic neurotransmission and the development of noveltherapeutic modalities.

This book was released on 2012-06-05 with total page 724 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first 20 years that followed the purinergic signalling hypothesis in 1972, most scientists were sceptical about its validity, largely because ATP was so well established as an intracellular molecule involved in cell biochemistry and it seemed unlikely that such a ubiquitous molecule would act as an extracellular signalling molecule. However, after the receptors for ATP and adenosine were cloned and characterized in the early 1990s and ATP was established as a synaptic transmitter in the brain and sympathetic ganglia, the tide turned. More recently it has become clear that ATP is involved in long-term (trophic) signalling in cell proliferation, differentiation and death, in development and regeneration, as well as in short-term signalling in neurotransmission and secretion. Also, important papers have been published showing the molecular structure of P2X receptors in primitive animals like Amoeba and Schistosoma, as well as green algae. This has led to the recognition of the widespread nature of the purinergic signalling system in most cell types and to a rapid expansion of the field, including studies of the pathophysiology as well as physiology and exploration of the therapeutic potential of purinergic agents. In two books, Geoffrey Burnstock and Alexej Verkhratsky have aimed at drawing together the massive and diverse body of literature on purinergic signalling. The topic of this first book is purinergic signalling in the peripheral and central nervous systems and in the individual senses. In a second book the authors focus on purinergic signalling in non-excitable cells, including those of the airways, kidney, pancreas, endocrine glands and blood vessels. Diseases related to these systems are also considered.

This book was released on 2024-01-26 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Research Topic aims to honour the 80th birthday of Professor Peter Illes, who is a member of the European Academy of Sciences, the founder/first president of the German Purine Club, and Honorary President of the Chinese Purine Club. He established a worldwide co-operation network on purinergic signalling and is an internationally recognized leader in the field. We aim to collect research articles and reviews from friends, colleagues and co-operation partners of Dr. Illes to showcase, build on and develop research being achieved related to the physiological/pathophysiological roles of purines in the central nervous system (CNS). Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) is an intracellular energy-storing molecule, but may also reach the extracellular space, where it participates in cell-to-cell signalling. For this purpose, ATP utilises a range of purinergic receptors activated either by ATP itself (P2X receptors; seven subtypes) or by ATP/ADP and UTP/UDP (P2Y receptors; 8 subtypes) and finally via its enzymatic degradation product, adenosine (P1/A receptors; 4 subtypes). Purine nucleotides and nucleosides together with the whole plethora of receptors and degrading enzymes constitute the purinome. This fascinating and extensive network exists both in the animal kingdom and in humans and is essential in regulating important physiological functions. Disturbances in the network can lead to a variety of illnesses clinically associated with both neurological or psychiatric traits. In recent years, hope has arisen that pharmacological chemistry together with various newly developed methods, will enable researchers to discover and design efficient drugs for treating these neurodegenerative and affective diseases.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fifty-odd years have elapsed since the first observation of the response of visceral smooth muscle to an adenine nucleotide was reported by Drury and Szent Gyorgi (1929). It is now known that purinergic receptors mediating responses to adenosine and the adenine nucleotides (AMP, ADP and ATP) are present in all types of visceral smooth muscle. Adenine itself and other endogenous purine derivatives appear to have no direct effects, or only minimal effects, on most visceral smooth muscles. Airway smooth muscle is an exception in this regard, and responds to purine bases and non-adenine nucleosides and nucleotides. Knowledge of the distribution of purinergic receptor sites on the plasma membrane of visceral musculature has grown particularly rapidly since Burnstock and his colleagues (1970) proposed that ATP, or a related adenine derivative, is the inhibitory transmitter released from non cholinergic non-adrenergic nerves present in the gut. Much evidence has been presented favoring the view that ATP is the inhibitory transmitter, and evidence to the contrary has also been put forward. The hypothesis remains controversial primarily because specific blockers of the postsynaptic purinergic site, with which the hypothesis might be tested, have not been found. Nevertheless, the numerous studies designed to investigate the purinergic nerve hypothesis have generated much information concerning the nature of the purinergic receptors in visceral smooth muscle.
