Role of endothelin ETA receptors in the hypertension induced by the VEGFR-2 kinase inhibitors axitinib and lenvatinib in conscious freely-moving rats (2023)
Journal Article
Pannucci, P., Van Daele, M., Cooper, S. L., Wragg, E. S., March, J., Groenen, M., Hill, S. J., & Woolard, J. (2024). Role of endothelin ETA receptors in the hypertension induced by the VEGFR-2 kinase inhibitors axitinib and lenvatinib in conscious freely-moving rats. Biochemical Pharmacology, 228, Article 116007. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bcp.2023.116007

Receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (RTKIs) suppress tumour growth by targeting vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR-2) which is an important mediator of angiogenesis. Here, we demonstrate that two potent RTKIs, axitinib and lenvatini...

The effect of two selective A1-receptor agonists and the bitopic ligand VCP746 on heart rate and regional vascular conductance in conscious rats (2019)
Journal Article
Cooper, S. L., March, J., Sabbatini, A. R., Hill, S. J., Jörg, M., Scammells, P. J., & Woolard, J. (2020). The effect of two selective A1-receptor agonists and the bitopic ligand VCP746 on heart rate and regional vascular conductance in conscious rats. British Journal of Pharmacology, 177(2), 346-359. https://doi.org/10.1111/bph.14870

Background and purpose
Adenosine is a local mediator that regulates physiological and pathological processes via activation of four G protein‐coupled receptors (A1, A2A, A2B, A3). We have investigated the effect of two A1‐receptor selective agonists...

Long‐term cardiovascular effects of vandetanib and pazopanib in normotensive rats (2019)
Journal Article
Cooper, S. L., Carter, J. J., March, J., & Woolard, J. (2019). Long‐term cardiovascular effects of vandetanib and pazopanib in normotensive rats. Pharmacology Research and Perspectives, 7(3), Article e00477. https://doi.org/10.1002/prp2.477

Vandetanib and pazopanib are clinically available, multi‐targeted inhibitors of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and platelet‐derived growth factor (PDGF) receptor tyrosine kinases. Short‐term VEGF receptor inhibition is associated with hype... Read More about Long‐term cardiovascular effects of vandetanib and pazopanib in normotensive rats.

Predicting in vivo cardiovascular properties of β-blockers from cellular assays: a quantative comparison of cellular and cardiovascular pharmacological responses (2011)
Journal Article
Baker, J. G., Kemp, P., March, J., Fretwell, L., Hill, S. J., & Gardiner, S. M. (2011). Predicting in vivo cardiovascular properties of β-blockers from cellular assays: a quantative comparison of cellular and cardiovascular pharmacological responses. FASEB Journal, 25(12), https://doi.org/10.1096/fj.11-192435

β-Adrenoceptor antagonists differ in their degree of partial agonism. In vitro assays have provided information on ligand affinity, selectivity, and intrinsic efficacy. However, the extent to which these properties are manifest in vivo is less clear....
