Chronic opioid therapy and opioid tolerance: a new hypothesis.
Goldberg, Joel S (Pain Res Treat, 2013)Opioids are efficacious and cost-effective analgesics, but tolerance limits their effectiveness. This paper does not present any new clinical or experimental data but demonstrates that there exist ascending sensory pathways ... -
LOCAL APPLICATION OF D -LACTIC ACID DIMER IS SELECTIVELY CYTOTOXIC WHEN APPLIED TO CANCER CELLS
Goldberg, Joel S; Weinberg, Joe Brice (2018-07-31) -
Low Molecular Weight Opioid Peptide Esters Could be Developed as a New Class of Analgesics.
Goldberg, Joel S (Perspect Medicin Chem, 2011)Low molecular weight opioid peptide esters (OPE) could become a class of analgesics with different side effect profiles than current opiates. OPE may have sufficient plasma stability to cross the blood brain barrier (BBB), ... -
Monitoring maternal Beta carotene and retinol consumption may decrease the incidence of neurodevelopmental disorders in offspring.
Goldberg, Joel S (Clin Med Insights Reprod Health, 2011-12-19)Retinoic acids (13-cis and 13-trans) are known teratogens, and their precursor is retinol, a form of vitamin A. In 1995, Rothman et al demonstrated an association between excessive vitamin A, >10,000 IU/day, during the first ... -
PDLA a potential new potent topical analgesic: a case report.
Goldberg, Joel S (Local Reg Anesth, 2014)Polymer D-lactic acid (PDLA) is a hydrogel that has been shown to sequester L-lactate (lactate). This reaction is rapid, spontaneous, and non-enzymatic. Lactate has been shown to have many functions within the nervous system ... -
Revisiting the monoamine hypothesis of depression: a new perspective.
Goldberg, Joel S; Bell, Clifton E; Pollard, David A (Perspect Medicin Chem, 2014)As the incidence of depression increases, depression continues to inflict additional suffering to individuals and societies and better therapies are needed. Based on magnetic resonance spectroscopy and laboratory findings, ... -
Selected Gamma Aminobutyric Acid (GABA) Esters may Provide Analgesia for Some Central Pain Conditions.
Goldberg, Joel S (Perspect Medicin Chem, 2010-08-03)Central pain is an enigmatic, intractable condition, related to destruction of thalamic areas, resulting in likely loss of inhibitory synaptic transmission mediated by GABA. It is proposed that treatment of central pain, ... -
Stereochemical basis for a unified structure activity theory of aromatic and heterocyclic rings in selected opioids and opioid peptides.
Goldberg, Joel S (Perspectives in medicinal chemistry, 2010-02-18)This paper presents a novel unified theory of the structure activity relationship of opioids and opioid peptides. It is hypothesized that a virtual or known heterocyclic ring exists in all opioids which have activity in ... -
Stereocomplexes Formed From Select Oligomers of Polymer d-lactic Acid (PDLA) and l-lactate May Inhibit Growth of Cancer Cells and Help Diagnose Aggressive Cancers-Applications of the Warburg Effect.
Goldberg, Joel S (Perspect Medicin Chem, 2011-02-15)It is proposed that select oligomers of polymer d-lactic acid (PDLA) will form a stereocomplex with l-lactate in vivo, producing lactate deficiency in tumor cells. Those cancer cells that utilize transport of lactate to ...
