| Drop-Dead Mutant Drosophila | The Drop-Dead Mutant Drosophila carries an X-chromosomal recessive mutation that causes severe behavioral defects and brain degeneration, manifested a few days after emergence of the adult. This mutation causes age related neurodegeneration and locomoter dysfunction and these mutants typically have very abbreviated life spans. Some common effects of this mutation are a slightly bent wing margin, frequent hypertrophy of the abdomen, reduced body size, recessive sterility in homozygous mutant females, and brain lesions. These mutants are used to study Parkinson's Disease in some laboratories. | ILX:0103564 | 4 | FDI Lab - SciCrunch.org | 08/24/2018 | FDI Lab - SciCrunch.org | term | 12/08/2016 | 0 | NeuroLex | troy sincomb |
| Droperidol | A butyrophenone with general properties similar to those of haloperidol. It is used in conjunction with an opioid analgesic such as fentanyl to maintain the patient in a calm state of neuroleptanalgesia with indifference to surroundings but still able to cooperate with the surgeon. It is also used as a premedicant, as an antiemetic, and for the control of agitation in acute psychoses. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 29th ed, p593) Pharmacology: Droperidol produces marked tranquilization and sedation. It allays apprehension and provides a state of mental detachment and indifference while maintaining a state of reflex alertness. Droperidol produces an antiemetic effect as evidenced by the antagonism of apomorphine in dogs. It lowers the incidence of nausea and vomiting during surgical procedures and provides antiemetic protection in the postoperative period. Droperidol potentiates other CNS depressants. It produces mild alpha-adrenergic blockade, peripheral vascular dilatation and reduction of the pressor effect of epinephrine. It can produce hypotension and decreased peripheral vascular resistance and may decrease pulmonary arterial pressure (particularly if it is abnormally high). It may reduce the incidence of epinephrine-induced arrhythmias, but it does not prevent other cardiac arrhythmias. Mechanism of action: The exact mechanism of action is unknown, however, droperidol causes a CNS depression at subcortical levels of the brain, midbrain, and brainstem reticular formation, may antagonize the actions of glutamic acid within the extrapyramidal system, may inhibit cathecolamine receptors and the reuptake of neurotransmiters, has strong central antidopaminergic action and weak central anticholinergic action, produces ganglionic blockade and reduces affective response.

| Drosophila overexpressing Gprk2 | This transgenic Drosophila coexpresses alpha-synuclein and G protein-coupled recepter kinase (Gprk2). Overexpression of Gprk2 increases phosphorylation at Ser129 and enhances alpha-synuclein toxicity. | ILX:0103568 | 4 | FDI Lab - SciCrunch.org | 06/18/2018 | FDI Lab - SciCrunch.org | term | 12/08/2016 | 0 | NeuroLex | NeuroLex |

| Drospirenone | Drospirenone is a synthetic progestin that is an analog to spironolactone. It is found in a number of birth control formulations. Drospirenone differs from other synthetic progestins in that its pharmacological profile in preclinical studies shows it to be closer to the natural progesterone. As such it has anti-mineralocorticoid properties, counteracts the estrogen-stimulated activity of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, and is not androgenic. Pharmacology: Drospirenone differs from other synthetic progestins in that its pharmacological profile in preclinical studies shows it to be closer to the natural progesterone. As such it has anti-mineralocorticoid properties, counteracts the estrogen-stimulated activity of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, and is not androgenic. Mechanism of action: Progestins such as drospirenone diffuse freely into target cells in the female reproductive tract, mammary gland, hypothalamus, and the pituitary and bind to the progesterone receptor. Once bound to the receptor, progestins slow the frequency of release of gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) from the hypothalamus and blunt the pre-ovulatory LH surge. Drug type: Approved.

| Drotrecogin alfa | Human Protein C that has been enzymatically activated by cleavage with thrombin and subsequently purified. Drotrecogin alfa (activated) is a glycoprotein of approximately 55 kilodalton molecular weight, consisting of a heavy chain and a light chain linked by a disulfide bond. Pharmacology: Activated Protein C exerts an antithrombotic effect by inhibiting (cleaving) Factors Va and VIIIa. In vitro data indicate that Activated Protein C has indirect profibrinolytic activity through its ability to inhibit plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) and limiting generation of activated thrombin-activatable-fibrinolysis-inhibitor. The net effect is the reduction or elimination of blood clots Mechanism of action: Activated protein C combines with protein S on platelet surfaces and then degrades factor Va and factor VIIIa.
