Adenylyl cyclase

Adenylate cyclase (EC 4.6.1.1, also commonly known as adenyl cyclase and adenylyl cyclase, abbreviated AC) is an enzyme with systematic name ATP diphosphate-lyase (cyclizing; 3′,5′-cyclic-AMP-forming).

See Befiradol and Adenylyl cyclase

Adverse effect

An adverse effect is an undesired harmful effect resulting from a medication or other intervention, such as surgery.

See Befiradol and Adverse effect

Agonist

An agonist is a chemical that activates a receptor to produce a biological response.

See Befiradol and Agonist

Allodynia

Allodynia is a condition in which pain is caused by a stimulus that does not normally elicit pain.

See Befiradol and Allodynia

Analgesic

An analgesic drug, also called simply an analgesic, antalgic, pain reliever, or painkiller, is any member of the group of drugs used for pain management. Befiradol and analgesic are analgesics.

See Befiradol and Analgesic

Animal models of Parkinson's disease

Animal models of Parkinson's disease are essential in the research field and widely used to study Parkinson's disease.

Antagonist

An antagonist is a character in a story who is presented as the main enemy and rival of the protagonist.

Benzothiophene

Benzothiophene is an aromatic organic compound with a molecular formula C8H6S and an odor similar to naphthalene (mothballs).

See Befiradol and Benzothiophene

Binding selectivity

In chemistry, binding selectivity is defined with respect to the binding of ligands to a substrate forming a complex.

See Befiradol and Binding selectivity

Drug tolerance

Drug tolerance or drug insensitivity is a pharmacological concept describing subjects' reduced reaction to a drug following its repeated use.

See Befiradol and Drug tolerance

Eptapirone

Eptapirone (F-11,440) is a very potent and highly selective 5-HT1A receptor full agonist of the azapirone family.

Extracellular signal-regulated kinases

In molecular biology, extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs) or classical MAP kinases are widely expressed protein kinase intracellular signalling molecules that are involved in functions including the regulation of meiosis, mitosis, and postmitotic functions in differentiated cells.

See Befiradol and Extracellular signal-regulated kinases

F-15,599

F-15,599, also known as NLX-101, is a potent and selective 5-HT1A receptor full agonist. Befiradol and f-15,599 are Benzamides, Fluoroarenes and Piperidines.

See Befiradol and F-15,599

Flesinoxan

Flesinoxan (DU-29,373) is a potent and selective 5-HT1A receptor partial/near-full agonist of the phenylpiperazine class. Befiradol and Flesinoxan are Benzamides and Fluoroarenes.

G alpha subunit

G alpha subunits are one of the three types of subunit of guanine nucleotide binding proteins, which are membrane-associated, heterotrimeric G proteins.

See Befiradol and G alpha subunit

G protein

G proteins, also known as guanine nucleotide-binding proteins, are a family of proteins that act as molecular switches inside cells, and are involved in transmitting signals from a variety of stimuli outside a cell to its interior.

See Befiradol and G protein

Investigational New Drug

The United States Food and Drug Administration's Investigational New Drug (IND) program is the means by which a pharmaceutical company obtains permission to start human clinical trials and to ship an experimental drug across state lines (usually to clinical investigators) before a marketing application for the drug has been approved.

Potency (pharmacology)

In pharmacology, potency or biological potency is a measure of a drug's biological activity expressed in terms of the dose required to produce a pharmacological effect of given intensity.

See Befiradol and Potency (pharmacology)

Receptor-mediated endocytosis

Receptor-mediated endocytosis (RME), also called clathrin-mediated endocytosis, is a process by which cells absorb metabolites, hormones, proteins – and in some cases viruses – by the inward budding of the plasma membrane (invagination).
