Perospirone Inhibits Coronary Vascular Kv Channels
2026-09-10
A 2025 Journal of Applied Toxicology study identifies a previously unrecognized, concentration-dependent inhibition of voltage-gated K+ currents by perospirone in freshly isolated rabbit coronary arterial smooth muscle cells. The pharmacological profile implicates Kv1.5 channels and provides a mechanistic basis for evaluating vascular ion-channel effects alongside the compound’s established serotonergic and dopaminergic actions.

Protease Inhibitor Cocktail EDTA-Free Guide
2026-09-08
Protease Inhibitor Cocktail (EDTA-Free, 100X in DMSO) helps limit endogenous proteolysis during protein extraction and sample preparation while avoiding EDTA-related effects on divalent-cation-sensitive workflows. It is suitable for lysates, Western blotting, co-immunoprecipitation, and phosphorylation-related assays, but it should not replace cold handling, rapid processing, or assay-specific compatibility testing.

High-Throughput Surrogate Model for BBB Permeability
2026-09-07
The 2025 reference study develops a Transwell blood-brain barrier surrogate that combines LLC-PK1-MOCK and LLC-PK1-MDR1 cells with permeability, efflux, recovery, and lysosomal-trapping measurements. Its correlation with unbound brain distribution and correction of low-recovery compounds support a more mechanistic and efficient approach to early CNS drug screening.
