How to reduce Dynorphins ? Used, side effects, dose, pharmacodynamic, mechanism of action...


 Dynorphins 

Brand name:- not available.

Dynorphin is under investigation in clinical trial NCT00000244 (Effects of Dynorphin 1-13 on Heroin Addiction - 1). Dynorphins A and B ( DYN- A , DYN-B ) are 8-17 amino acid peptides derived from prodynorphin which contains 3 leu- ENK residues also. DYNs are more potent on k receptors, but also activate ú and § receptors.

Pharmacodynamic:- 

Not available 🚫


Mechanism of action:- 

Dynorphin, an endogenous opiate, when released at the level of the spinal cord is thought to increase the release of excitatory neurotransmitters from the primary afferents thereby causing amplification of the afferent sensory signal. Evidence for this pro-nociceptive role comes from observations that dynorphin is increased in chronic pain states and that pain behaviours in animals are attenuated following the administration of dynorphin antagonists . Chronic opiate use leads to up-regulation of dynorphin production at the spinal dorsal horn, which induces further hyperalgesia. By blocking this effect hyperalgesia is reduced, analgesia is restored and opiate tolerance is prevented.

Used:-

Based on the localization of the κ-opioid receptor, dynorphins are involved in learning and memory, emotional control, and stress response, in addition to analgesic effects.

 Side effects:- 

Common side effects.


DOES:-  AS DIRECTED BY YOUR DOCTOR.

Chlorthalidone Uses, Side Effects, and More....

 Chlorthalidone  Brand name:- Hythalton 50,100mg , Hydrazide, Thalizide ( 12.5, 25) . Chlorthalidone is a diuretic which lowers blood pressure by removing extra water and certain electrolytes from the body. Over time it also relaxes blood vessels and improves blood flow. Pharmacodynamic:- Not 🚫 available.  Pharmacokinetics:- Chlortalidone is slowly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract after oral ingestion. It has a long half-life and therefore a prolonged diuretic action, which results in continued diuretic effects despite a skipped dose. This prolonged action of chlortalidone despite missing doses may account for the higher efficacy of chlortalidone compared to the shorter half-life medication, hydrochlorothiazide. Chlortalidone is eliminated from the body mostly by the kidney, as unchanged drug. Thus, in persons with diminished kidney function, the clearance of chlortalidone is reduced and the elimination half-life is increased. As with other thiazide diuretics, ch...

Chlordiazepoxide Uses, Side Effects, and More

 Chlordiazepoxide Brand name:- Librium 10, 25 mg tabs; Equilibrium 10mg tab. Chlordiazepoxide is a benzodiazepine. It works by increasing the action of a chemical messenger (GABA) which suppresses the abnormal and excessive activity of the nerve cells in the brain. Pharmacodynamic:-  Chlordiazepoxide has antianxiety, sedative, appetite-stimulating and weak analgesic actions. The drug seems to block EEG arousal from stimulation in the brain stem reticular formation. The drug has been studied extensively in many species of animals and these studies are suggestive of action on the limbic system of the brain, which recent evidence indicates is involved in emotional responses. Hostile monkeys were made tame by oral drug doses which did not cause sedation. Chlordiazepoxide revealed a "taming" action with the elimination of fear and aggression. The taming effect of chlordiazepoxide was further demonstrated in rats made vicious by lesions in the septal area of the brain. The drug dos...
