dopaminergic systems

DMNB (6-Nitroveratraldehyde) is DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK) inhibitor with IC50 of 15 μM, an enzyme involved in the non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) pathway of double-stranded DNA break (DSB) repair in human cells.

1. Carvacrol (O-Thymol) presents anxiolytic effects. 2. 5-Isopropyl-2-methylphenol presents antinociceptive activity. 3. Carvacrol presents antidepressant effects, seems to be dependent on its interaction with the dopaminergic system, but not with the serotonergic and noradrenergic systems.

Neurotensin TFA (39379-15-2 free base) is an endogenous 13 amino acid neuropeptide with profound opioid-independent analgesic effects. It behaves as a neurotransmitter in the brain, as a hormone in the gut, and also as a neuromodulator. It is implicated in the pathophysiology of several CNS disorders (including schizophrenia, Parkinson's disease, drug abuse, pain, cancer, inflammation, eating disorders, and central control of blood pressure) due to its association with a wide variety of neurotransmitter systems such as dopaminergic, sertonergic, glutamatergic, GABAergic, and cholinergic systems. It has a role as a human metabolite, a mitogen, a neurotransmitter and a vulnerary.
