Perospirone Inhibits Coronary Kv1.5 Channels
2026-08-30
A 2025 Journal of Applied Toxicology study identifies a previously unrecognized vascular ion-channel action of perospirone in freshly isolated rabbit coronary arterial smooth muscle cells. The concentration-dependent, use-independent inhibition of Kv currents and partial pharmacological attribution to Kv1.5 broaden interpretation of perospirone beyond receptor pharmacology and provide a rationale for cardiovascular controls in related experiments.

BteA, Akt/mTOR, and Bordetella Persistence
2026-08-28
The reference study identifies a previously underappreciated eosinophil–epithelial mechanism in which the Bordetella type III secretion effector BteA activates host Akt/mTOR signaling and increases IL-1Ra expression. Genetic or antibody-mediated loss of IL-1Ra accelerated bacterial clearance in vivo, positioning this pathway as a mechanistic link between immune modulation and persistent respiratory infection.

Moringa-Derived 1-Phenyl-2-Pentanol in Liver Fibrosis
2026-08-26
The reference study identifies 1-phenyl-2-pentanol from Moringa oleifera leaves as an inhibitor of TGF-β1-associated activation in human hepatic stellate cells. By combining fibrosis-marker analysis with proteomics and molecular docking, it links the compound’s activity to suppression of TGF-β1 and Wnt/β-catenin signaling, while also defining important limits for translation beyond the in vitro model.
