World Market for G-Protein-Coupled Receptors (GPCRs) Targeting Drugs to Reach US$ 120.5 Billion By 2017, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.










San Jose, CA (PRWEB) April 20, 2012

Follow us on LinkedIn – G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) represent signal-transducing molecules that transmit signals to cells. They play a key role in converting extracellular stimulus into intracellular responses, and are therefore responsible for all physiological processes. Dysfunctional GPCRs are the prime cause for a host of human diseases, both physiological and pathophysiological, ranging from allergies, depression to hypertension. Given the fact that G-protein is a stimulative hormone receptor, which influences the activity of intracellular metabolism, studying the mechanisms by which hormone receptors dictate the function of complex tissues will provide invaluable input in developing drugs that will efficiently target the disease condition. Newer research studies have revealed that this super family of signal transducing molecules is capable of sending extraneous signals into the cell through alternate pathways, such as, Jak2 kinase, and protein kinase C. Consequently, GPCR emerges as one of the most powerful drug target classes.

Significant untapped potential exists for pharmaceutical development based on GPCRs. Drugs targeting GPCR have superior therapeutic benefits, as they are more active at cell surface receptors. Almost half of pharmaceutical drugs available in the market target GPCRs, which corroborates the potential these targets have in the area of medicine. The GPCR family of receptors flaunts the potential to provide optimum therapeutic benefits in a wide range of diseases, such as, hypertension, allergic rhinitis, schizophrenia, and pain, among numerous others. Recent research and advancements in medicinal chemistry, structure-based drug designing, and screening methodologies opened a plethora of opportunities for the GPCR industry, leading to further exploitation of this target class. Currently, R&D efforts are being directed at known as well as orphan GPCRs, which show significant potential for the development of new GPCR targeting therapeutics.

Currently over 250 GPCRs have been identified together with their endogenous ligand. Conversely, there still exists over 150 GPCRs for which endogenous ligand has not been identified till date, making these orphan GPCRs a potential laden area for therapeutic targets. The newly isolated orphan receptors exhibit massive potential in pioneering drug development and discovery. Orphan GPCRs are therefore forecast to emerge into a core focus area for pharmaceutical companies and academic researchers in the upcoming years. Hitherto a neglected area of opportunities, “deorphanizing” the currently orphan GPCRs is poised to become the new name of the game, as scientists embark on this largely uncharted path of revelation and discovery. PathHunter Arrestin technology recently developed by DiscoveRx increases the chances of successful de-orphanization of orphan GPCRs, which over the last few years witnessed a steady decline. Some of the evolving concepts that are likely to aid in dealing with the challenging GPCR-based drug discovery environment as well as in identifying new mechanisms for validated targets include GPCR allosterism, GPCR dimerisation, and GPCR oligomerisation.

Major players profiled in the report include 7TM Pharma A/S, Actelion Pharmaceuticals Ltd., Acure Pharma AB, Arena Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Addex Pharmaceuticals, Acadia Pharmaceuticals Inc., DiscoveRx Corporation, Dimerix Bioscience Pty Ltd, Euroscreen SA, and Trevena, Inc. among others.

The research report titled “G-Protein-Coupled Receptors (GPCRs): A Global Market Report” announced by Global Industry Analysts, Inc., provides comprehensive market overview, trends & issues, recent industry activity and profiles of market players worldwide. The report offers analytics pertaining to sales of drugs targeting G-Protein-Coupled Receptors for the global market for years 2009 through 2017. The study also provides historic data for an insight into market evolution over the period 2003 through 2008.

House Mold and Mildew on the Rise in Winter Months

House Mold and Mildew on the Rise in Winter Months













Solar Attic Fan


Incline Village, NV (PRWEB) December 01, 2011

Mold growth is attributed to three factors: moisture, warmth and organic material. Unfortunately, in the winter months, these three factors often come together in the home’s attic space. As warm air rises into the attic, the warm air meets with the underside of the roof causing condensation. For this reason, it is not suggested to keep an attic warm throughout the winter months as a “heat barrier” to the cold outside. In fact, the condensation created in a warm attic during the winter months drips onto the insulation making it much less effective. Instead, rely on adequate insulation between the attic and living spaces. Additionally, moisture rises into the attic from the home’s daily activities such as the dishwasher, showers and cooking. A warm, moist attic and organic materials such as building materials and household items being stored create an environment for mold and mildew to flourish. For these reasons, it is essential to address the attic space of a home in order to ensure a healthy home.

How best to cure and prevent mold and mildew in your home?

    Use a Solar Powered Attic Fan and Solar Controller to properly ventilate the attic space. The Solar Controller allows easy monitoring of relative humidity levels and temperature in the attic space.
    Use the All Purpose Ventilator to properly ventilate the crawlspace and reduce the opportunity for mold and mildew growth.
    Vacuum and clean regularly to remove possible sources of mold growth
    In portions of your home that are susceptible to moisture, use area rugs or washable floor surfaces.
    Repair water leaks in the roof, windows, or any other part of the home.
    Clear refrigerator drip pans regularly.
By keeping the attic space closer to ambient temperature, condensation will not occur on the underside of the roof. Additionally, with active air flow the moist air traveling into the attic from exhaust fans and household activities will be rapidly pushed outside. Keep your home and its inhabitants healthy throughout the winter months with the Solar Powered Attic Fan from U.S. Sunlight Corporation.

Best of Show

U.S. Sunlight Corp strives to provide “Alternative Energy for Everyday Life,” by designing and manufacturing innovative solar and green products to save money for the homeowner. Introduced in January of 2011, the Solar Controller has taken the home improvement industry by storm, receiving laudable praise from homeowners and industry experts alike. Homeowners now have the ability to add these additional benefits to their U.S. Sunlight attic ventilation products:

    An option to utilize house electricity along with solar power, enabling the attic fan to run after sunset or when solar power is not available.
    Monitoring attic fan’s operating status, attic temperature and attic humidity from the Solar Controller remote’s LED screen, simply by pressing a single button on the remote.

With over 100,000 products in the 2011 National Hardware Show, our Solar Attic Fan and Solar Controller caught the attention of retailers, media, and trade professionals, and won one of the Best of Show awards.

AchooAllergy.com Expands Video Library for Education, Marketing










Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) July 20, 2011

With a desire to both increase traffic to their website and to educate their customers about allergy relief products, AchooAllergy.com has expanded its informational library to include an ever-increasing body of instructional videos.

Says design team member Jamie Harless, “In Janaury 2010, we started focusing on our social media sites and making videos ended up being part of our design team project last year. Increased video production just snowballed from our efforts to beef up our social media presence.”

Indeed, with over 50,000 views to date on their YouTube channel, AchooAllergy.com knows their customers are getting help – and that they are reaching a wide audience who might be encountering AchooAllergy.com for the first time through the videos.

Design team leader Ashley Norfleet describes the effect of the videos on AchooAllergy.com’s day-to-day business: “Since we’ve added videos to our site, we have seen an increase in sales while getting fewer calls in regard to product inquiries. The bottom line is, the videos have helped us get our message across and answer customers’ questions about the products we carry.”

AchooAllergy.com typically produces two to three short instructional videos per month as well as a more comprehensive video about every other month. When deciding which products to feature, AchooAllergy.com takes its cue from customer inquiries about products. For instance, in response to several questions about what exactly vapor steam cleaners are, AchooAllergy.com produced a video that demonstrates its use and features. In addition, instructional videos now routinely accompany new products as they are added to the website.

AchooAllergy.com’s video production studio is well-equipped to produce high quality product photos and videos. Complete with an in-house photo studio, camera equipment, lights, a cyclorama wall, a suite of video editing software, and actor John Curran, who stars in the company’s Miele vacuum cleaner videos, AchooAllergy.com is poised to continue growing their video library, and with it, their online presence.

Dealing With Your Allergies-Getting a Treatment that Lasts, Not Another Decongestant

Dealing With Your Allergies-Getting a Treatment that Lasts, Not Another Decongestant










Nolensville, TN (PRWEB) September 7, 2005

Fall is coming, along with the sneezing, itching, and watering. What is causing all this misery?

In the last 20 years, the number of people in the United States who experience seasonal allergies has doubled! According to Dr. Steven Hotze, author of “Hormones, Health and Happiness” and with the Pan American Allergy Society, chemicals that have been introduced into the air over the last two decades have caused a 100% rise in the number of people affected by allergies. So what can we do about it?

The Hotze Health and Wellness Center has found an innovative treatment for allergies, which not only fights the symptoms, but builds up an immunity to the allergy! “We treat allergy by using the old adage: “Fight fire with fire.” By giving a dose of the very substances to which a person reacts when he inhales these substances, we can build up a good blocking antibody.”

What are you allergic to? Airborne allergies, such as pollens, dust or mold spores, or food? Allergy is an abnormal reaction by the immune system to normally occurring substances in the environment. Many of us are unaware that fatigue, headaches, upper respiratory infections, gastrointestinal problems or skin rashes may be caused by allergies.

When evaluating for allergies, Dr. Hotze performs skin testing to determine the sensitivity of each individual to common allergens. Instead of allergy shots, he prescribe sublingual allergy drops, taken under the tongue. This treatment is innovative, convenient, safe and effective.

This allergy treatment is an immunization, which desensitizes an individual to the allergens that provoke reactions. Anti-histamines and decongestants only treat symptoms, but allergy immunization strengthens the immune system, increasing your resistance to allergies and secondary infections.

September brings a new set of allergy reactions each year. The Mold Spore Allergies are brought on as leaves start decaying and the weather starts changing in the Fall.

For more information on Dr. Hotze’s treatment, go to Amazon.com to purchase a copy of Dr. Hotze’s new book, “Hormones, Health, and Happiness.” or http://www.hotzehwc.omc

To schedule an interview with Dr. Hotze, please contact Nanette Noffsinger.

Allergy Treatments and Symptoms Website Ready to Help

Posted by on July 31, 2011 1 comment

Allergy Treatments and Symptoms Website Ready to Help










(PRWEB) June 27, 2010

The new website Allergy Treatments and Symptoms, located at http://allergytreatmentsandsymptoms.com/, went online last week with a wealth of helpful information about a wide variety of allergies and allergy-related conditions. In professionally written, easy-to-read articles, the site lays out the backgrounds, symptoms, and mechanisms of allergic reactions, discusses possible treatments, and provides tips for how allergy sufferers can minimize their symptoms and reduce future outbreaks. The service is provided free to all users and does not require membership or registration. It’s a purely educational service.

A central location for allergy information

Explaining their new site, the creators of Allergy Treatments and Allergy Symptoms point to the poor quality and scattered nature of existing information about allergies on the web. Spread across a multitude of varied and specialized sites, clear and accurate information about allergies has long been hard to find on the web. Allergy Treatments and Symptoms hopes to remedy this situation by putting all the information in one easily accessible place. In doing so, the creators of the site hope to educate large numbers of allergy sufferers and provide them with the tools they need in seeking professional treatment.

To provide this service, the creators have researched and compiled science-based information about all the major allergies that afflict humans. Although the information is based on solid research, the writers of the site have made the information accessible to readers with no medical background. Understanding that allergies are often conflated with related conditions, they have also included information about conditions such as asthma and non-allergic dermatitis.

Comprehensive coverage of allergies

The many allergies covered on Allergy Treatments and Symptoms include relatively common ones such as alcohol allergy, animal allergies, drug reactions, erythropoietic porphyria, insect sting allergies, and latex allergies. A few rarer types of allergy have also been included—for example, kissing allergy, water allergy, and serum sickness.

With the success of their site, the creators of Allergy Treatments and Symptoms hope to expand their offerings even further in the future by adding more detailed information about how allergies happen, how they can be prevented, and what to ask your doctor about potential treatments. Allergy sufferers are advised to keep checking the site for new and expanded coverage of all types of allergies.

New Treatment for Allergy Sufferers Offers Relief Without Shots Allergy Drops Bring Flexibility and Comfort to Long-term Treatment Plans

Posted by on July 31, 2011 1 comment

New Treatment for Allergy Sufferers Offers Relief Without Shots Allergy Drops Bring Flexibility and Comfort to Long-term Treatment Plans










(PRWEB) August 17, 2005

The feeling is all but disheartening. Anticipating the sting, the bruising and twenty minute wait afterwards to check for possible reactions. Dreading the moment when you will be called from the waiting room and into the doctor’s office where a waiting nurse pulls out a syringe, raises her eyebrows and smiles knowingly. It’s time for your weekly allergy shot.

This treatment is not unusual for many Americans suffering from allergies today. However, many patients are unknowingly wrong in thinking that these series of painful, ongoing allergy shots are their only option in the treatment and control of their allergy symptoms.

According to a study by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID), more than 50 million Americans are afflicted with allergies including the most common case, chronic sinusitis. Affecting 16.3 percent of the US population, this allergy has long been thought to be treatable only by shots. However, after suffering for years from both allergies and the shots which provide their treatments, patients young and old are now discovering a method of relief unlike any other.

Physicians are now offering a method for providing relief from allergies without the inconveniences of shots and the hassle of making a trip to their physician’s office. An unknown treatment to many, allergy drops, also known as Sublingual Immunotherapy, are being used to treat allergies using standard serums common to allergy shots. Physicians are now able to provide their patients with a safe, painless means of allergy control from the convenience of the patient’s own home.

“This treatment really opens up new doors because it allows physicians to treat a patient’s allergies on the patient’s time schedule,” said Richard F. Herrscher, M.D. of AIRCare. “Patient costs may also be reduced because co-pays are not required for each visit, since the drops are given in a home environment.”

Allergy drops work just like allergy shots by giving the patient series of treatments to build up the body’s immune system over time. Allergy drops provide a safe alternative for a wide range of allergy suffers, as well as asthmatics.

“Sublingual drops are not new nor are they unusual,” said Herrscher who points to evidence of the drops use for many years throughout Europe. “Sublingual Immunotherapy is a long-awaited breath of fresh air in a world full of pollen and mold.

In Britain, allergy shots are virtually out of use, with Sublingual Immunotherapy replacing them as the prime treatment for allergies. Likewise, throughout Europe, studies show that a 42 percent reduction of allergy symptoms has been seen with a 43 percent reduction in use of medication while using this treatment.
