Naloxegol (INN; PEGylated naloxol; [4] trade names Movantik and Moventig) is a peripherally acting μ-opioid receptor antagonist developed by AstraZeneca, licensed from Nektar Therapeutics, for the treatment of opioid-induced constipation. [5] It was approved in 2014 in adult patients with chronic, non-cancer pain. [6]
pentoxyfylline – xanthine derivative used in as an antiinflammatory drug and in the prevention of endotoxemia; pergolide – dopamine receptor agonist used for the treatment of pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction in horses; phenobarbital – anti-convulsant used for seizures; phenylbutazone – nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)
Treatment is usually effective with antibiotics once the result of the urine culture identifies the precise bacteria involved in the infection. D-mannose (which is also anti-inflammatory) is also used by some pet owners as a natural alternative to antibiotic treatment although this may be less targeted and specific than prescribed antibiotics ...
Mannose (D-mannose) is used as a dietary supplement to prevent recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs). [ 9 ] [ 10 ] As of 2022 [update] , one review found that taking mannose was as effective as antibiotics to prevent UTIs, [ 9 ] while another review found that clinical trial quality was too low to allow any conclusion about using D ...
In enzymology, a mannose isomerase (EC 5.3.1.7) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction D-mannose ⇌ {\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons } D-fructose Hence, this enzyme has one substrate , D-mannose , and one product , D-fructose .
Currently GDP-Mannose 4, 6-Dehydratase is not the target of any available drugs, however it is being experimentally targeted with the drug Guanosine-5'-Diphosphate. The chemical reaction of GDP-Mannose 4, 6-Dehydratase is as shown: GDP-mannose ↔ GDP-4-dehydro-6-deoxy-D-mannose + H 2 O
Prolonged use of stimulant laxatives can create drug dependence by damaging the colon's haustral folds, making users less able to move feces through their colon on their own. A study of patients with chronic constipation found that 28% of chronic stimulant laxative users lost haustral folds over the course of one year, while none of the control ...
In enzymology, a dolichyl-phosphate-mannose-protein mannosyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.109) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction dolichyl phosphate D-mannose + protein ⇌ {\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons } dolichyl phosphate + O-D-mannosylprotein
