The Concise Guide to PHARMACOLOGY 2023/24: G protein-coupled receptors
- 2023
-
In: BRITISH JOURNAL OF PHARMACOLOGY. - : British pharmacological society. - 0007-1188 .- 1476-5381. ; 180
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The Concise Guide to PHARMACOLOGY 2023/24 is the sixth in this series of biennial publications. The Concise Guide provides concise overviews, mostly in tabular format, of the key properties of approximately 1800 drug targets, and about 6000 interactions with about 3900 ligands. There is an emphasis on selective pharmacology (where available), plus links to the open access knowledgebase source of drug targets and their ligands (), which provides more detailed views of target and ligand properties. Although the Concise Guide constitutes almost 500 pages, the material presented is substantially reduced compared to information and links presented on the website. It provides a permanent, citable, point-in-time record that will survive database updates. The full contents of this section can be found at . G protein-coupled receptors are one of the six major pharmacological targets into which the Guide is divided, with the others being: ion channels, nuclear hormone receptors, catalytic receptors, enzymes and transporters. These are presented with nomenclature guidance and summary information on the best available pharmacological tools, alongside key references and suggestions for further reading. The landscape format of the Concise Guide is designed to facilitate comparison of related targets from material contemporary to mid-2023, and supersedes data presented in the 2021/22, 2019/20, 2017/18, 2015/16 and 2013/14 Concise Guides and previous Guides to Receptors and Channels. It is produced in close conjunction with the Nomenclature and Standards Committee of the International Union of Basic and Clinical Pharmacology (NC-IUPHAR), therefore, providing official IUPHAR classification and nomenclature for human drug targets, where appropriate.

The Optimal Time of New Generation Product in the Market
- 2012
-
In: Communications in Dependability and Quality Management. - 1450-7196. ; 15:1, s. 123-137
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Most product development activities are aimed at improving existing products by successive generation policy. The launch of a new product is a phase of development that commands a large commitment of time, money, and managerial resources. Determination of optimal introduction time is especially critical for high-technology products, where the introduction of each successive generation of a product requires the firm to explicitly consider its impact on the demand for preceding generations. Each generation has unique expectations, experiences, generational history, lifestyles, values, and demographics that influence behavior of potential buyers. Accordingly, many companies are reaching out to multi-generational consumers and trying to understand and gain the attention of these diverse buyers. The timing decision depends on whether companies invest more time for product design or push the product to market before maturity. The study identifies attributes such as Customer's Adoption Indicator and Cost that affect the introduction time of new generation. To trade-off between two decision factors, multi-attribute utility theory (MAUT) is applied in our decision space. We examine the case where a firm introduces successive generations of a durable product for which demand is characterized by an innovation diffusion process. Empirical implications of the proposed model have been validated on data collected from two industries (Semiconductor Industry DRAM shipments and IBM Mainframe Industry (USA)).

GSK962040 : a small molecule, selective motilin receptor agonist, effective as a stimulant of human and rabbit gastrointestinal motility
- 2009
-
In: Neurogastroenterology and Motility. - : Wiley. - 1350-1925 .- 1365-2982. ; 21:6, s. 657-664, e30-31

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- There is an urgent clinical need for a safe, efficacious stimulant of gastric emptying; current therapies include erythromycin (an antibiotic with additional properties which preclude chronic use) and metoclopramide (a 5-hydroxytryptamine type 4 receptor agonist and an antagonist at brain D2 receptors, associated with movement disorders). To move away from the complex motilide structure of erythromycin, a small molecule motilin receptor agonist, GSK962040, was identified and characterized. The compound was evaluated using recombinant human receptors, rabbit and human isolated stomach preparations known to respond to motilin and in vivo, by measuring its ability to increase defecation in conscious rabbits. At the human motilin receptor, the pEC50 (the negative logarithm to base 10 of the EC50 value, the concentration of agonist that produces 50% of the maximal response) values for GSK962040 and erythromycin as agonists were, respectively, 7.9 and 7.3; GSK962040 had no significant activity at a range of other receptors (including ghrelin), ion channels and enzymes. In rabbit gastric antrum, GSK962040 300 nmol L−1–10 μmol L−1 caused a prolonged facilitation of the amplitude of cholinergically mediated contractions, to a maximum of 248 ± 47% at 3 μmol L−1. In human-isolated stomach, GSK962040 10 μmol L−1, erythromycin 10 μmol L−1 and [Nle13]-motilin 100 nmol L−1, each caused muscle contraction of similar amplitude. In conscious rabbits, intravenous doses of 5 mg kg−1 GSK962040 or 10 mg kg−1 erythromycin significantly increased faecal output over a 2-h period. Together, these data show that GSK962040, a non-motilide structure, selectively activates the motilin receptor. Simplification of the structural requirements to activate this receptor greatly facilitates the design of potentially new medicines for gastroparesis.
