1. Neuraxial block anesthetic technique in a patient with SCN8A encephalopathy: case report
Abstract Mutations in SCN8A gene lead to changes in sodium channels in the brain, which are correlated with severe epileptic syndrome. Due to the rarity, there are few studies that support anesthesia in that population. The present study aims to report alternatives to inhalation anesthesia at epileptic encephalopathy. Case report: Male, 4 years old, with SC

2. Chemical control of leaf-cutting ants: how do workers disperse toxic bait fragments onto fungus garden?
ABSTRACT Leaf-cutting ants are controlled with toxic baits. For the method’s greater efficiency, the baits must be distributed and processed by workers during fungus cultivation. To test hypotheses whether the mode of action of the active ingredients, which blocks the sodium channels and interrupts the production of ATP in the mitochondria, interferes with

3. Spider venom peptides as potential drug candidates due to their anticancer and antinociceptive activities
Abstract Spider venoms are known to contain proteins and polypeptides that perform various functions including antimicrobial, neurotoxic, analgesic, cytotoxic, necrotic, and hemagglutinic activities. Currently, several classes of natural molecules from spider venoms are potential sources of chemotherapeutics against tumor cells. Some of the spider peptide to

4. Pharmacological characterization of the calcium influx pathways involved in nitric oxide production by endothelial cells
RESUMO Objetivo: Caracterizar as vias do influxo de cálcio envolvidas no aumento sustentado da concentração intracelular de cálcio na célula endotelial, essencial para a síntese e a liberação de fatores relaxantes. Métodos: Analisamos o efeito de derivados pirazólicos sintetizados recentemente, descritos como inibidores seletivos para canais ORAI

5. The role of potassium channels in the endothelial dysfunction induced by periodontitis
Abstract Objective: Periodontitis is associated with endothelial dysfunction, which is clinically characterized by a reduction in endothelium-dependent relaxation. However, we have previously shown that impairment in endothelium-dependent relaxation is transient. Therefore, we evaluated which mediators are involved in endothelium-dependent relaxation recove

6. Randomized controlled trial of Panax ginseng in patients with irritable bowel syndrome
ABSTRACT The irritable bowel syndrome is defined as the presence of continuing or recurrent abdominal pain and it is associated with altered bowel habit. Experimental studies with Panax ginseng C.A. Mey., Araliaceae, have demonstrated the antinociceptive action on calcium and sodium channels, as well as on primary sensory neurons. A clinical double-blind, ra

7. EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON THE COLLABORATIVE DRAG REDUCTION PERFORMANCE OF A SURFACTANT SOLUTION IN GROOVED CHANNELS
Abstract Turbulence with a relatively larger vortex is obtained in drag-reducing surfactant solution, which provides an excellent condition for the application of small scale grooves. In this work, the coupling drag reduction performance of surfactant solution and grooves was experimentally investigated to explore the complementary possibility between their

8. Anticonvulsant mechanism of saponins fraction from adventitious roots of Ficus religiosa: possible modulation of GABAergic, calcium and sodium channel functions
ABSTRACT In our previous studies, quantified saponins-rich fraction from adventitious root extract of Ficus religiosa L., Moraceae, showed anticonvulsant effect in acute, as well as chronic mice models of epilepsy. The present study was designed to reveal putative anticonvulsant mechanism of quantified saponins-rich fraction using target specific animal mode

9. β-Citronellol, an alcoholic monoterpene with inhibitory properties on the contractility of rat trachea
β-Citronellol is an alcoholic monoterpene found in essential oils such Cymbopogon citratus (a plant with antihypertensive properties). β-Citronellol can act against pathogenic microorganisms that affect airways and, in virtue of the popular use of β-citronellol-enriched essential oils in aromatherapy, we assessed its pharmacologic effects on the contracti

10. Allosteric interactions between receptor site 3 and 4 of voltage-gated sodium channels: a novel perspective for the underlying mechanism of scorpion sting-induced pain
AbstractBackground BmK I, a site-3-specific modulator of voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs), causes pain and hyperalgesia in rats, while BmK IT2, a site-4-specific modulator of VGSCs, suppresses pain-related responses. A stronger pain-related effect has been previously attributed to Buthus martensi Karsch (BmK) venom, which points out the joint pharmacolo

11. Novo método de fracionamento da peçonha do escorpião Tityus serrulatus e caracterização eletrofisiológica das toxinas Ts6 e Ts7 / New fractionation procedure of Tityus serrulatus venom and electrophysiological characterization of toxins Ts6 and Ts7
In Brazil, Tityus serrulatus (Ts) species is the responsible for the most scorpion accidents and also for the major incidence of accidents caused by venomous animals. About 16 different toxins of Ts venom have been listed so far, being Ts1 the major one. Among these toxins, the neurotoxins with action on sodium and potassium channels are the most interest in

12. Carvacrol reduces neuronal excitability by inhibiting the channels to voltage-dependent sodium / Carvacrol reduz a excitabilidade neuronal pela inibição dos canais para sódio dependente de voltagem
O monoterpeno carvacrol está presente em muitos óleos essenciais de plantas e tem atraído atenção devido à sua grande variedade de atividades biológicas benéficas, especialmente atividade analgésica e o bloqueio da excitabilidade neuronal, no entanto, seu mecanismo de ação permanece desconhecido. O presente estudo teve como objetivo explorar os me
