Ethanol (EtOH) dosage, frequency, and paired associative learning affect the risk of alcoholism. Recently, Spanagel et al. reported that acamprosate calcium (Acam Ca) prescribed for alcoholism exerts an anti-relapse effect via Ca. Ca is contained in foods, sometimes consumed with
The need for novel and efficacious drugs against neglected parasitic diseases, such as Leishmaniasis and American Trypanosomiasis, is certainly apparent. In this work, we evaluated the in vitro potential of the calcium channel blocker bepridil against Leishmania spp. and Trypanosoma

The two proteases beta-secretase and gamma-secretase generate the amyloid beta peptide and are drug targets for Alzheimer's disease. Here we tested the possibility of targeting the cellular environment of beta-secretase cleavage instead of the beta-secretase enzyme itself. beta-Secretase has an

Bepridil is effective for conversion of atrial fibrillation to sinus rhythm and in the treatment of drug-refractory ventricular tachyarrhythmias. We investigated the effects of bepridil on electrophysiological properties and spiral-wave (SW) reentry in a 2-dimensional ventricular muscle layer of isolated
