Preclinical, Journal: Achyranthes aspera ameliorates stress induced depression in mice by regulating neuroinflammatory cytokines. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 4, 2022 Mice were intraperitoneally injected with A. aspera extract (2.5, 5 and 10 mg/kg) or fluoxetine (10 mg/kg) or betaine (20 mg/kg) once daily during day 15-28 of the CUMS protocol...A. aspera treatment decreased the elevated plasma corticosterone and reversed the effect of CUMS on TNF-α, Il-6 and BDNF immunocontent in mice. The results of the present study suggest A. aspera as a promising indigenous medicine for stress associated neurobehavioral and comorbid complications.

Tianeptine Improves Anticipation for Reward in a Mouse Model of Early Developmental Exposure to Fluoxetine (Grand Saguaro) - Oct 31, 2022 - Abstract #ACNP2022ACNP_511; We expand on this phenotype to show these effects also include reward anticipation, while reward learning and hedonic perception remains intact. Our results also demonstrate that these deficits in motivation and reward anticipation in PN FLX animals are resistant to subsequent FLX administration in adulthood.

Pimavanserin Treatment Increases Plasma Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor Levels in Rats (Grand Saguaro) - Oct 31, 2022 - Abstract #ACNP2022ACNP_478; In chronic treatment studies described above, both Pimavanserin and Fluoxetine significantly increased plasma levels of proBDNF as compared to vehicle group. The observed increases in plasma mBDNF levels following chronic Pimavanserin treatment suggest the neuroprotective potential of Pimavanserin in the long-term treatment management of PDP in addition to its antipsychotic effects.

Cognitive Control Predicts Alleviation of OCD Symptoms by Ketamine (Grand Saguaro) - Oct 31, 2022 - Abstract #ACNP2022ACNP_402; Our data suggest that the short-term effect of ketamine vs midazolam on Y-BOCS may be influenced by baseline inhibitory cognitive control, such that greater control (less Stroop interference for color-naming) predicted greater benefit from ketamine vs midazolam. Our data may accord with published findings suggesting that Stroop task performance moderates the effectiveness of other OCD treatment modalities (e.g., cognitive behavioral therapy vs fluoxetine).

The similarities and differences in the actions of these drugs at the cellular level may lead to a better molecular understanding of the distinct kinetic features of their actions.

Preclinical, Journal: 18β-Glycyrrhetinic Acid Ameliorates Neuroinflammation Linked Depressive Behavior Instigated by Chronic Unpredictable Mild Stress via Triggering BDNF/TrkB Signaling Pathway in Rats. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 30, 2022 18βGA (10, 20, and 50 mg/kg) or fluoxetine was given once daily (from day 30 to day 36)...Furthermore, BDNF and TrkB proteins were down-regulated in CUMS group, which was increased to varying degrees by 18βGA at doses of 20 and 50 mg/kg. Therefore, 18βGA ameliorates depressive-like behavior persuaded by chronic unpredictable mild stress, decreases neuroinflammation, liver biomarkers, stress hormones, and improves body weight, brain neurotransmitter concentration via activating on BDNF/TrkB signaling pathway in both PFC and hippocampus in rats.

Both SERT and PMAT regulate myocardial interstitial 5-HT levels by its uptake; however, 5-HT uptake via PMAT leads to 5-HT metabolism by MAO.

Furthermore, it was found that 5-FU + thioridazine and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) + sertraline can synergistically induce a reduction in the viability of human colorectal adenocarcinoma cell line (HT-29)...Furthermore, it is also demonstrated that PPT1 may have an important role in the mechanism of action of these combinations, as demonstrated by their ability to decrease PPT1 expression. These results support the use of antimalarial and central nervous system (CNS) drugs in combination regimens with chemotherapeutic agents; nevertheless, additional studies are recommended to further explore their complete mechanisms of action.

Considering the modes of action of the respective drugs, we reveal plausible mechanisms by which this impact may be mediated, creating a testable hypothesis, and providing insights into how future confirmative research on this topic may be conducted.

This case report supports the growing evidence that although ECMO support represents a potentially life-saving salvage therapy for refractory poisoning-induced shock, escalation to ECMO must be considered and instituted early before irreversible multi-organ failure sets in to ensure good clinical outcomes.
