Prucalopride Action Pathway

Homo sapiens
Prucalopride acts as a selective stimulator of the 5-HT4 receptors while having no interaction with hERG channel or 5-HT1 receptors which reduces significantly the cardiovascular risk found in other similar drugs. 5-HT4 receptors can be found throughout the gastrointestinal tract primarily in smooth muscle cells, enterochromaffin cells, and myenteric plexus. Its activation produces the release of acetylcholine which is the major excitatory neurotransmitter in the GI tract. Hence, prucalopride stimulates motility by interacting specifically with 5-HT4 receptors in the GI tract which causes a release of acetylcholine and further contraction of the muscle layer of the colon and relaxation of the circular muscle layer leading to the propulsion of luminal content. Prucalopride is indicated for the treatment of chronic idiopathic constipation (CIC) in adults.

Prunasin and Amygdalin Biosynthesis

Arabidopsis thaliana
Prunasin and amygdalin are cyanogenic glucosides, chemical compounds that can release toxic hydrogen cyanide after animal ingestion as a chemical defence. These compounds are also responsible for the bitter taste in many seeds, such as almonds, peaches or apples. Prunasin is transformed into amygdalin during fruit ripening. Cyanogenic glycosides are typically derived from amino acids, such as phenylalanine. This pathway involves the conversion of phenylalanine into prunasin and amygdalin by the enzyme L-phenylalanine N-monooxygenase (CYP79A2) and some other enzymes in the Arabidopsis thaliana species

Prussian blue Drug Metabolism

Homo sapiens
Prussian blue is a drug that is not metabolized by the human body as determined by current research and biotransformer analysis. Prussian blue passes through the liver and is then excreted from the body mainly through the kidney.

Pseudoephedrine Action Pathway

Homo sapiens
Pseudoephedrine is alpha and beta agonist used to treat nasal and sinus congestion as well as allergic rhinitis. It is in many cold and sinus medicines as well as allergy medicine. Pseudoephedrine's mechanism of action mainly occurs in the nose and sinuses. It primarily activates alpha adrenergic receptor 1A or 2A. Pseudoephedrine also inhibits sodium dependent noradrenaline receptors which prevents the reuptake of norepinephrine into the presynaptic neuron. This causes norepinephrine to accumulate in the synapse which also activates alpha adrenergic receptors. These receptors then activate the Gq protein cascade. This activates Phospolipase C which catalyzes Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate into Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and Diacylglycerol. Diacylglycerol activates protain kinase C which activates the voltage-dependent calcium channel, allowing calcium to enter the cell. Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate activates Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor on the sarcoplasmic reticulum which also allows calcium to enter the cell from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. This high concentration of calcium in the cytosol attaches to calmodulin which activates Myosin light chain kinase. This enzyme catalyzes Myosin light chain 3 into myosin LC-P which causes myosin to bind to actin and contract the muscle cell. The contraction of this smooth muscle causes the blood vessel to constrict. The contriction of blood vessels in the sinuses and nose lead to decongestion. Pseudophedrine also activates on beta receptors, and it inhibits sodium dependent dopamine and serotonin transporters, however not to the same effect or degree as it affects alpha receptors and the norepinephrine pathway.
