Toxicon
. 2009 Mar;
54(8):1174-82.
PMID: 19281835
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) are pentameric proteins that form agonist-gated cation channels through the plasma membrane. AChR agonists and antagonists are potential candidates for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. Cembranoids...

PMID: 16247800
Nicotine has been reported to be neuroprotective in experimental and epidemiological studies. In addition to nicotine, tobacco and cigarette smoke contain cembranoids, which are antagonists of neuronal nicotinic receptors (nAChR)....

J Pharmacol Exp Ther
. 2003 Mar;
305(3):1071-8.
PMID: 12649299
Although in neuronal cultures nicotine was reported to prevent early and delayed excitotoxic death, no studies with nicotinic drugs have been done with acute hippocampal slices. We investigated the effect...

J Neurosci Res
. 2001 Mar;
64(1):18-25.
PMID: 11276047
Cembranoids are cyclic diterpenoids found in tobacco and in marine invertebrates. The present study established that tobacco cembranoids inhibit behavioral sensitization to nicotine in rats and block several types of...

. 2000 Mar;
859(2):273-9.
PMID: 10719074
Polyamines were implicated as either neurotoxic or neuroprotective in several models of stroke. Spermine augments the excitotoxicity mediated by the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor because this receptor is activated at micromolar...

PMID: 10456235
1. Phencyclidine (PCP) is an inhibitor of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (AChR) with characteristics of an open-channel blocker. The location of PCP binding site on the AChR molecule is unknown....

PMID: 9765345
The class of diterpenoids with a 14-carbon cembrane ring, the cembranoids, includes both competitive and noncompetitive inhibitors of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (AChR). All 20 coelenterate-derived cembranoids studied in this...

PMID: 9406972
The effect of spermine (Spm) and of omega-conotoxin GVIA (CTX) on the population excitatory postsynaptic potentials (pEPSP) in stratum radiatum of the CA1 area were compared. CTX decreased irreversibly the...

Brain Res
. 1995 Aug;
689(2):189-96.
PMID: 7583322
The effect of spermine on neurotransmission was studied in area CA1 of the hippocampal slice preparation. Paired-pulse stimulation (20 ms interpulse interval) was delivered to stratum radiatum; the evoked field...
