Selective inhibition of NAALADase, which converts NAAG to glutamate, reduces ischemic brain injury
- B. Slusher, J. Vornov, +12 authors P. F. Jackson
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature Medicine
- 1 December 1999
We describe here a new strategy for the treatment of stroke, through the inhibition of NAALADase (N-acetylated-α-linked-acidic dipeptidase), an enzyme responsible for the hydrolysis of the… Expand
The regional vulnerability to hypoglycemia-induced neurotoxicity in organotypic hippocampal culture: protection by early tetrodotoxin or delayed MK-801
- R. Tasker, J. Coyle, J. Vornov
- Biology, Medicine
- The Journal of neuroscience : the official…
- 1 November 1992
Profound hypoglycemia selectively damages CA1 and the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus. We have examined the time course of hippocampal neuronal injury in organotypic cultures following in vitro… Expand
Direct observation of the agonist-specific regional vulnerability to glutamate, NMDA, and kainate neurotoxicity in organotypic hippocampal cultures
Excessive activation of excitatory amino acid receptors has been implicated in the neuronal degeneration caused by ischemia, hypoglycemia, and prolonged seizures. We have observed directly the time… Expand
Inhibition of virus-induced neuronal apoptosis by Bax
- J. Lewis, G. Oyler, +6 authors J. M. Hardwick
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature Medicine
- 1 July 1999
The Bax protein is widely known as a pro-apoptotic Bcl-2 family member that when overexpressed can trigger apoptosis in multiple cell types and is important for the developmental cell death of… Expand
Protective Effects of Extracellular Acidosis and Blockade of Sodium/Hydrogen Ion Exchange During Recovery from Metabolic Inhibition in Neuronal Tissue Culture
Abstract: Acidosis is a universal response of tissue to ischemia. In the brain, severe acidosis has been linked to worsening of cerebral infarction. However, milder acidosis can have protective… Expand
Regional Vulnerability to Endogenous and Exogenous Oxidative Stress in Organotypic Hippocampal Culture
Organotypic cultures of the brain provide a unique opportunity to directly examine the regional vulnerability of specific brain regions like the hippocampus. Two well-characterized models of… Expand
Still NAAG'ing After All These Years: The Continuing Pursuit of GCPII Inhibitors.
- J. Vornov, K. Hollinger, +5 authors B. Slusher

- Advances in pharmacology
- 31 December 2016
Nearly two decades ago, Joe Coyle published a single-authored review with the provocative title, The Nagging Question of the Function of N-Acetylaspartylglutamate (Coyle, 1997). In this review, Coyle… Expand
Brainstem projections to the normal and noradrenergically hyperinnervated trigeminal motor nucleus
The noradrenergic innervation of the trigeminal motor nucleus of the rat can be increased severalfold by neonatal treatment with the neurotoxin, 6‐hydroxydopamine. The brainstem projections to the… Expand
Selective release ofN-acetylaspartylglutamate from rat optic nerve terminals in vivo
- G. Tsai, B. L. Stauch, J. Vornov, J. Deshpande, J. Coyle
- Biology, Medicine
- Brain Research
- 4 June 1990
Glutamate (Glu) and aspartate (Asp) are considered to be the neurotransmitters of the optic pathway in submammalian species, but their roles in mammals is uncertain. Recently,… Expand
Comparative pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of the new propofol prodrug GPI 15715 and propofol emulsion.
- J. Fechner, H. Ihmsen, +5 authors J. Schüttler
- Medicine
- Anesthesiology
- 1 September 2004
BACKGROUND
GPI 15715 is a new water-soluble prodrug that is hydrolyzed to release propofol. The objectives of this crossover study in volunteers were to investigate the pharmacokinetics and… Expand
