Newest firstIntracellular Ca2+ regulates insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells and is influenced by cannabinoid signaling. However, the hydrophobicity and complex pharmacology of cannabinoid ligands prevent precision receptor targeting, limiting our understanding of their roles in modulating insulin release. Here, we use fluorescent Ca2+ imaging to examine how the light-activatable CB2 receptor agonist azo-HU308 modulates…
Open article record in new tab ↗Leucettamols, bifunctionalized sphingoid-like compounds obtained from a marine sponge Leucetta sp., act as non-electrophilic activators of the TRPA1 channel and potent inhibitors of the icilin-mediated activation of the TRPM8 channel, while they are inactive on CB₁, CB₂ and TRPV1 receptors. Leucettamols represent the first compounds of marine origin to target TRPA1 and the first class of natural products to inhibi…
