Pharmacol Rep . 2025 Mar; PMID: 40064751
Background: Novel antipsychotics are characterized by multitarget profile of action, affecting among others, dopamine and serotonin receptors. In a series of experiments, we designed, synthesized and examined two new isoquinoline-sulfonamide...

Cyrano E, Popik P
Pharmacol Rep . 2024 Nov; 77(1):135-144. PMID: 39602080
Background: Serotonergic psychedelics, which display a high affinity and specificity for 5-HT receptors like 2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodoamphetamine (DOI), reliably induce a head-twitch response in rodents characterized by paroxysmal, high-frequency head rotations. Traditionally,...

Front Pharmacol . 2024 Jan; 14:1329424. PMID: 38269275
Traditional methods of rat social behavior assessment are extremely time-consuming and susceptible to the subjective biases. In contrast, novel digital techniques allow for rapid and objective measurements. This study sought...

J Psychopharmacol . 2023 Oct; 37(11):1149-1156. PMID: 37842884
Background: In clinical studies, psychedelics including psilocybin and D-lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) demonstrate rapid and persistent antidepressant effects. Since the effective treatment with psychedelics is usually provided with psychotherapy, it...
