Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Antitussive Agents
Agents that suppress cough. They act centrally on the medullary cough center. EXPECTORANTS, also used in the treatment of cough, act locally.
Adrenergic Beta-antagonists
Drugs that bind to but do not activate beta-adrenergic receptors thereby blocking the actions of beta-adrenergic agonists. Adrenergic beta-antagonists are used for treatment of hypertension, cardiac arrhythmias, angina pectoris, glaucoma, migraine headaches, and anxiety.
Drug Antagonism
Phenomena and pharmaceutics of compounds that inhibit the function of agonists (DRUG AGONISM) and inverse agonists (DRUG INVERSE AGONISM) for a specific receptor. On their own, antagonists produce no effect by themselves to a receptor, and are said to have neither intrinsic activity nor efficacy.
Adrenergic Beta-agonists
Drugs that selectively bind to and activate beta-adrenergic receptors.
Adrenergic Beta-1 Receptor Agonists
Compounds that bind to and activate ADRENERGIC BETA-1 RECEPTORS.

Background. Increasing evidence points to a potential role for members of the transient receptor potential family of cation channels on several features of asthmatic disease. The cough sensitivity to...
Voacanga africana (Apocynaceae) is used as an anti-diarrheal medicine in West Africa. In the present study, we investigated the effect of an extract of V. africana and its constituents on smooth muscl...
Neural correlates coding stimulus level and perception of capsaicin-evoked urge-to-cough in humans.
The perception of airways irritation is represented in a distributed brain network. However, the functional roles of sub-regions of this network are yet to be determined. The aim of this study was to...

Clinical Trials
Capsaicin Cough Threshold in Chronic Cough Due to Postnasal Drip
This study is being done to find out why some people with mucus dripping down the back of their throat have a nagging cough while others do not cough.
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover, single center study of SCH 619734 in subjects with chronic cough from an unknown cause. Subjects will be randomized to r...
A Phase II Clinical Study of PDC-748 in Patients With Acute Cough
The pharmacological effects of PDC-748 were tested in numerous in vitro and in vivo studies. The existing pharmacologic findings suggest that PDC-748 possesses certain inhibitory activity...
Cough is a common, disruptive and at times disabling symptom which often prompts patients to seek medical attention. Determining the cause(s) of chronic cough can be challenging, and cost...
Acute Response Capsaicin Flare Study
Prior to administering PF-04427429 to patients we wish to increase the understanding of functional effects associated with calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP) pathways. This study will...
