TRPC6-dependent Ca2+ flux in endothelial cells after TLR4-induced diacylglycerol production mediates lung endothelial barrier disruption and inflammation induced by LPS.
Background: Furanocoumarin imperatorin is a major active component of Angelica dahurica root extracts exhibiting analgesic properties. Results: Imperatorin inhibited formalin-and capsaicin-induced nocifensive responses, facilitated TRPV1 desensitization, and sensitized TRPV1 to acid activation. Conclusion: Furanocoumarins represent a novel class of TRPV1 partial agonists exhibiting analgesic potential. Significance: Imperatorin is a lead compound for drug discovery aimed at developing new analgesics.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
