  • Publication number: 20120245147
    Abstract: Methods for screening for inhibitors of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress are provided. These methods involve the addition of thapsigargin, which induces ER stress, and a test agent to mammalian cells in multi-well plates. Cell survival can be readily monitored by measuring intracellular ATP content using a bioluminescent reagent. Screening a commercially available library of 50,000 compounds led to the identification of 93 hit compounds that were subjected to secondary assays to confirm their ability to rescue cells from thapsigargin-induced cell death.

  • Publication number: 20120232025
    Abstract: Prolonged administration of subanesthetic dosages of ketamine, which suppresses activity at NMDA receptors, can provide a damaged central nervous system with an opportunity to use its innate healing processes to “reset” NMDA receptors which were pushed into an unwanted hyper-sensitized state by unusually high activity. However, such treatments can cause permanent brain damage, if the ketamine dosage is too heavy or prolonged. Certain types of “safener” drugs have previously been identified, which can block or at least reduce those unwanted side effects. It is disclosed that if two classes of safener drugs are combined, which will simultaneously suppress activity at both (i) muscarinic acetylcholine receptors, and (ii) the kainate and AMPA classes of glutamate receptors, those safener drug combinations can provide exceptionally potent and reliable safening activity, which can enable the safe use of potent NMDA antagonist drugs for a number of highly beneficial purposes.
