Fucoxanthin Inhibits the NMDA and AMPA Receptors Through Regulating the Calcium Response on Substantia Gelatinosa Neurons of the Trigeminal Subnucleus Caudalis in Juvenile Mice by Nhung Ha Thuy Le, Seon Ah Park, Yu Mi Kim, Dong Kuk Ahn, Won Jung, Seong Kyu Han

“…Specifically, the N-methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA)- and α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA)-induced responses but not the kainic acid receptor (KAR)-mediated response were suppressed by FCX in standard extracellular solution. …”

Promising role of voxelotor in managing sickle cell disease in children: a narrative review by Amit Agrawal, Gaurav Jadon, Japna Singh, Dalwinder Janjua

“…Sickle cell disease (SCD) is characterized by chronic hemolytic anemia and intermittent vasoocclusive crises. To date, 4 disease-modifying drugs have been approved for the treatment of SCD: hydroxyurea (an S-phase inhibitor), L-glutamine (an amino acid), crizanlizumab (a P-selectin inhibitor), and voxelotor (a hemoglobin S polymerization inhibitor). …”
