The potential of trace amines and their receptors for treating neurological and psychiatric diseasesM D Berry
Department of Chemistry, Brandon University, 270, 18th Street, Brandon, Manitoba, Canada, R7A 6A9
Rev Recent Clin Trials 2:3-19. 2007..In addition, recent evidence linking trace amines to the development of drug dependence will be discussed...
Molecular dynamics-based simulation of trace amine membrane permeabilityMark D Berry
Department of Chemistry, Brandon University, 270 18th Street, Brandon, MB, R7A 6A9, Canada
J Neural Transm 118:1119-28. 2011..The adopted simulation methods failed to yield diffusion coefficients in the core region indicating that further work will be required to accurately predict permeability coefficients for trace amines passing through membranes...
The effects of pargyline and 2-phenylethylamine on D1-like dopamine receptor bindingMark D Berry
Department of Chemistry, Brandon University, Brandon, MB, R7A 6A9, Canada
J Neural Transm 118:1115-8. 2011..It is concluded that the effect of pargyline does not involve elevation of endogenous PE, and PE effects on dopaminergic neurotransmission are not due to altered D1-like receptor binding...
Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase as a target for small-molecule disease-modifying therapies in human neurodegenerative disordersMark D Berry
ALviva Biopharmaceuticals Inc, Saskatoon, Sask
J Psychiatry Neurosci 29:337-45. 2004..These compounds, one of which is currently being tested in late-stage Phase II clinical trials as a disease-modifying therapy for Parkinson's disease, have potential utility in the treatment of human neurodegenerative conditions...
Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and apoptosisM D Berry
Alviva Biopharmaceuticals, Inc, Suite 112C, 116, Research Drive, Innovation Place, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada
J Neurosci Res 60:150-4. 2000..This review summarizes the evidence implicating GAPDH in the initiation of one or more apoptotic cascades. The possible functions of GAPDH in the nucleus which could result in the initiation of apoptosis are also discussed...
N8-acetyl spermidine protects rat cerebellar granule cells from low K+-induced apoptosisM D Berry
Neuropsychiatry Research Unit, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, Canada
J Neurosci Res 55:341-51. 1999..The lack of effect on basal apoptosis provides evidence of at least two forms of p53-independent apoptosis that can be regulated independently...
Schizophrenia, a neurodegenerative disorder with neurodevelopmental antecedentsP C Ashe
ALviva Biopharmaceuticals Inc, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada
Prog Neuropsychopharmacol Biol Psychiatry 25:691-707. 2001..Recent evidence suggests that the progressive course of schizophrenia is associated with ongoing neurodegenerative processes. Changes in brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) may explain the various changes observed in schizophrenia...
Aliphatic propargylamines as symptomatic and neuroprotective treatments for neurodegenerative diseasesM D Berry
ALviva Biopharmaceuticals Inc, 218-111 Research Drive, Saskatoon, SK, Canada S7N 3R2
Neurotoxicol Teratol 24:667-73. 2002..These compounds have been shown to be active through an interaction with the same binding site as R-deprenyl and CGP 3466. This site is suggested to be the glycolytic enzyme glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH)...
Loss of mitochondrial membrane potential is dependent on the apoptotic program activated: prevention by R-2HMPD Zhang
Neuropsychiatry Research Unit, Department of Psychiatry, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada
J Neurosci Res 58:284-92. 1999..The antiapoptotic drug R-N-2-heptyl-N-methylpropargylamine hydrochloride (R-2HMP) reversed this loss of mitochondrial membrane potential in Ara-c-induced apoptosis; the effect was antagonized by the S-2HMP...
Prolongation of life in an experimental model of aging in Drosophila melanogasterR G Jordens
Neuropsychiatry Research Unit, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, Canada
Neurochem Res 24:227-33. 1999..5-1 ng/fly/day, led to a significant increase in mean and maximal life-span of galactose-treated, but not control flies. This effect was seen in both wild-type and mutant flies...
Apoptosis and human neurodegenerative diseasesMark D Berry
ALviva Biopharmaceuticals Inc, 218-111, Research Drive, S7N 3R2, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada
Prog Neuropsychopharmacol Biol Psychiatry 27:197-8. 2003
Mammalian central nervous system trace amines. Pharmacologic amphetamines, physiologic neuromodulatorsMark D Berry
ALviva Biopharmaceuticals Inc, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada
J Neurochem 90:257-71. 2004..These effects are seen as an altered neuronal sensitivity to monoamine neurotransmitters, with no change in neuronal excitability in the absence of neurotransmitter...
