Semi-mechanistic modelling of the analgesic effect of gabapentin in the formalin-induced rat model of experimental pain
The formalin-induced rat model of nociception involves moderate continuous pain. Formalin-induced pain results in a typical repetitive flinching behaviour, which displays a biphasic pattern characterised by peaks of pain.
Imidazole aldoximes effective in assisting butyrylcholinesterase catalysis of organophosphate detoxification
Intoxication by organophosphate (OP) nerve agents and pesticides should be addressed by efficient, quickly deployable countermeasures such as antidotes reactivating acetylcholinesterase or scavenging the parent OP.
Neuroprotective Potential of Peroxisome Proliferator Activated Receptor-a Agonist in Cognitive Impairment in Parkinson’s Disease: Behavioral, Biochemical, and PBPK Profile
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder affecting 1% of the population by the age of 65 years and 4-5% of the population by the age of 85 years.
A mechanistic model of drug-induced liver injury AIDS the interpretation of elevated liver transaminase levels in a phase I clinical trial
