The wide variety of drugs in development includes opioid receptor ligands, bradykinin antagonists, mPGES-1 inhibitors, glutamate receptor antagonists, substance P and neurokinin receptor antagonists,
norepinephrine transporter inhibitors,P2X2 neuron receptor antagonists and nitric oxide-based analgesics.
Desipramine, a potent
norepinephrine transporter (NET) inhibitor, blocks the entry of tyramine into cells by NET, thereby preventing hypertensive events in animal models of tyramine overexposure.
Sesack, "Chronic stress increases the plasmalemmal distribution of the
norepinephrine transporter and the coexpression of tyrosine hydroxylase in norepinephrine axons in the prefrontal cortex," Journal of Neuroscience, vol.
Biochemically, the active ingredient in Rhopressa, netarsudil, has been shown in Aerie studies to inhibit both Rho kinase and
norepinephrine transporter.
In conjunction, the company's preclinical studies have demonstrated that Rhopressa lowers episcleral venous pressure, which contributes half of IOP in healthy subjects; provides an additional mechanism that reduces fluid production in the eye and lowers IOP; inhibits both Rho Kinase (ROCK) and
norepinephrine transporter (NET); As well as may have an anti-fibrotic effect on the trabecular meshwork and the potential to increase perfusion of the trabecular meshwork.
Lack of association between the
norepinephrine transporter gene and major depression in a Han Chinese population.
(31-35) One potential mechanism involves changes in the
norepinephrine transporter (NET).
Norepinephrine transporter (NET) plays important role in pathophysiology of many neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and hyperactivity disorders [93].
[122,123] The
norepinephrine transporter (NET) is responsible for the reuptake of norepinephrine into presynaptic neurons, and it is an important factor in the regulation of the noradrenergic system.
Radiolabeled nisoxetine is also used to identify
norepinephrine transporter (NET) kinetics and density [14, 16, 17].
Also, this is what probably happens when methamphetamine, ephedrine, or other similar substances induce dopamine (and other monoamine) release from monoamine neurons primarily via membrane transporters, reversing the dopamine transporter (DAT),
norepinephrine transporter (NET), and/or serotonin transporter (SERT) [23-27] and also reversing VMAT vesicular transport [28].
