Monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs) play a crucial role in cancer metabolism and progression, most notably MCT1 and MCT4. This review explores the heterocyclic and non-heterocyclic arena of MCT inhibitors in the battle against tumorigenesis. Heterocyclic compounds, such as indole, flavonoid, pyrazole, pteridine and coumarin, and non-heterocyclic compounds, including cyanoacetic acid derivatives and N-cyano sulphonamides, have shown promising potential as MCT inhibitors, offering new therapeutic

The type-5 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR, M 5 ) is almost exclusively expressed in dopamine (DA) neurons of the ventral tegmental area (VTA) and substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc); therefore, ideally located to modulate DA signaling and underlying behaviors. However, the role of M 5 in shaping DA release is still poorly characterized. In this study, we first quantitatively mapped the expression of M 5 in different neurons of the mouse midbrain, then used voltammetry in mouse striatu

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a chronic age-related neurodegenerative brain disorder characterized by the impairment of memory accompanied by worsening of thinking ability of an individual. The exact pathophysiology of AD is not fully understood. However low levels of neurotransmitter named as acetylcholine (ACh), aggregation of Aβ peptide into toxic Aβ plaque, hyperphosphorylation of tau, bio-metal imbalance, and oxidative stress are the main hallmarks of this disease.

However, aberrant TLR7/8 activation by endogenous ligands has been implicated in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases including systemic lupus erythematosus. TLR activation and Type-I interferon (IFN) were shown recently to impart resistance to glucocorticoids (GC), which are part of the standard of care for multiple autoimmune diseases.
