	Pharmacological chaperone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pharmacological chaperones present an attractive alternative to transplantation due its low risk and an alternative to enzyme replacement therapy due to lowered expense and oral availability.
		The mutated protein is unstable (in the thermodynamic sense) and in retrotranslocation to the cytoplasm is degraded by the proteasome.
		Ironically, most pharmacological chaperones are inhibitors of the enzyme targeted; due to differing conditions in the target's destination (pH, metal ions, etc) the inhibitor is ejected, and the enzyme functions; or, the relatively high concentration of substrate outcompetes the inhibitor; or a combination of both effects enables the enzyme to function.

	Recommendations for Pharmacological Treatment of Acute Stress Reactions // National Center for Post-Traumatic Stress ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Pharmacological treatment for acute traumatic stress reactions (within one month of the trauma) is generally reserved for individuals who already have received individual or group debriefing and/or brief crisis-oriented psychotherapy.
		Pharmacological agents for the treatment of trauma-related arousal include benzodiazepines and antiadrenergic agents such as clonidine, guanfacine and propranolol.
		Other pharmacological agents may also be helpful in treating insomnia in persons suffering from acute traumatic stress.

	The importance of pharmacological synergy in psychoactive herbal medicines - Herbal Synergy Review Alternative Medicine ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Determining the pharmacological mechanisms of herbal medicines presents certain challenges distinct from the study of synthetic drugs.
		A single drug may have several pharmacological actions, but it is only those that occur in concentrations reached by standard doses that are considered relevant.
		Pharmacological synergy should also be investigated to explain the actions of an herbal medicine.

	Alcohol's pharmacological properties, not smell or taste, reinforce its effects
		New research indicates that alcohol's reinforcing properties during rodent infancy can be due to its pharmacological effects, independent of taste or smell.
		"If an infant is exposed to the odor of alcohol in the environment, or the combined taste, odor and pharmacological effects of alcohol during fetal development or breast feeding, it is important to determine how this experience affects preference for alcohol and levels of alcohol consumption later in life.
		This study demonstrates that the pharmacological effects of alcohol, independent of orosensory cues, contribute to the reinforcing properties of ethanol in the developing fetus/infant."

	A Review of Pharmacological and Educational Approaches for Tobacco Cessation
		Pharmacological interventions consist of bupropion (Zyban, Wellbutrin), nicotine patch, gum, nasal spray, lozenge and inhaler.
		This article recognizes the potential benefits of using pharmacological agents combined with educational approaches to help combat the apparent health problems associated with the by-products of tobacco.
		Smoking cessation interventions can be more successful when the health care professional understands that a combined approach making use of available pharmacological agents along with existing alternatives that include behavioral and education approaches may be the most effective.

	2107.03 Special Considerations for Asserted Therapeutic or Pharmacological Utilities - 2100 Patentability
		As a general matter, evidence of pharmacological or other biological activity of a compound will be relevant to an asserted therapeutic use if there is a reasonable correlation between the activity in question and the asserted utility.
		Courts have routinely found evidence of structural similarity to a compound known to have a particular therapeutic or pharmacological utility as being supportive of an assertion of therapeutic utility for a new compound.
		If reasonably correlated to the particular therapeutic or pharmacological utility, data generated using in vitro assays, or from testing in an animal model or a combination thereof almost invariably will be sufficient to establish therapeutic or pharmacological utility for a compound, composition or process.

	Title: Pharmacological Management of Pain
		While this chapter reviews pharmacological management of organic pain, the reader should not suppose that this is the only important component of comprehensive pain management.
		While we cannot be certain of the effects of the first dose in an opioid naïve patient, patients develop pharmacological tolerance to the respiratory depressant effects of opioids over the same time course as other side effects.
		Medications should be chosen appropriately, administered using the pharmacological principles that guide their usage and patients monitored closely for undesired side effects.

	A Pharmacological Study of Ayahuasca in Healthy Volunteers
		Although ayahuasca is not as widely used by the general public as amphetamine derivatives of the MDMA type are, it has a achieved a certain popularity and is beginning to attract media attention in Spain; in Summer 1997 a weekly general interest magazine labelled it a "fashionable drug" on the Spanish island of Ibiza.
		Our study aims to be the first controlled pharmacological study of ayahuasca in humans undertaken in a Western country and with local volunteers who are familiar with its consumption.
		The compound is remarkable within the hallucinogen family because of its pharmacological characteristics; when administered parenterally it produces extremely strong effects which are felt almost immediately (intravenously) or within around ten minutes (intramuscularly), to disappear within the space of about half an hour or forty-five minutes.

	eMJA: McColl , Pharmacological therapies for the treatment of osteoarthritis
		The recommendations continue to emphasise the role of paracetamol as the initial pharmacological treatment of mild to moderate osteoarthritis.
		This contention is certainly supported by a randomised controlled clinical trial, which found no difference in the efficacy of paracetamol (4 g daily) and ibuprofen (1.2 g or 2.4 g daily) in patients with osteoarthritis.
		If a patient's condition fails to respond to paracetamol and non-pharmacological therapies, then rational planning for further therapy must include a risk assessment of his or her comorbidity (Box).

	Panic Disorder and Pharmacological Treatment Options
		The increased interest can be attributed at least in part to reconceptualization of anxiety disorders by the American Psychiatric Association, improvements in psychological and pharmacological therapies, and an increased understanding of the biological mechanisms causing panic and anxiety [Warren, 1991].
		Until the 1980s, panic disorder patients rarely received specific, regimented treatments of either the pharmacological or behavioral nature, and the treatments that were administered often proved ineffective.
		As further evidence, cognitive procedures that prevent panic disorder patients from misinterpreting the sensations induced by pharmacological challenge tests were shown to block panic attacks induced in the laboratory [Clark, 1991; Sanderson, 1990].
