RESEARCH INTERESTS:
Research in my laboratory听focused on the design and solid phase synthesis of peptide
ligands for the vasopressin V1a, V1b and V2 receptors and for the oxytocin (OT) receptor听(selective agonists and听antagonists;
radioiodinated and fluorescent ligands).听 Many of these peptides have been utilized
as research tools in laboratories worldwide and have helped to advance research in
the oxytocin vasopressin field. To date, over 3,000 samples of oxytocin and vasopressin
agonists and antagonists from this laboratory have been donated to over 740 scientific
investigators (some multiple times) for their own independent studies (see听list above). Over 2,000 publications from other laboratories have resulted from the use of these
peptides over the past 30 years.听听I听continue to supply other scientists in the U.S.
and throughout the world with samples of vasopressin and oxytocin peptide agonists,听antagonists
and radioiodinateable ligands for their own independent studies.
Currently these peptide designs are focused on the CNS actions of oxytocin and vasopressin;
with the following goals in mind:听 (1) the design of (a) long-acting oxytocin agonists,
(b) fluorescent oxytocin agonists, and (c) "biased" oxytocin agonists;听for use as
pharmacological tools and as potential therapeutic agents for the study of and treatment
of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and related disorders and (2) the design of selective
antagonists, radiolabelled and fluorescent ligands for the human and rat vasopressin
V1b receptors;听for studies on V1b receptors in the brain听and as potential new therapies for anxiety and stress.听 The
synthetic studies have been carried out in my laboratory by returning visiting scholars
from Poland:听 Drs. Krzysztof Bankowski, Aleksandra Olma and Aleksandra Misicka, and
Bulgaria: Dr. Stoytcho Stoev.听 All have made听important contributions to my laboratory
in the past.听 The resultant peptides, are being听pharmacologically characterized by
long time collaborators Drs. Gilles Guillon, Maithe Corbani, Thierry Durroux and Bernard
Mouillac, Montpellier, France;听and by Drs. Bice Chini and Marta Busnelli, Milan, Italy.
