Cepharanthine in Endometriosis: Organoid & In Vivo
2026-09-17
A 2026 study evaluates the biscoclaurine alkaloid Cepharanthine across immortalized stromal cells, patient-derived endometrial organoids, and a murine peritoneal endometriosis model. Its findings connect lesion-growth suppression with G0/G1 arrest, DNA damage, impaired repair, and mitochondrial apoptosis, while also illustrating how organoids can improve preclinical treatment evaluation.

CBD, FAAH, and Orofacial Inflammatory Pain
2026-09-16
This 2026 mouse study shows that cannabidiol (CBD) can reduce both inflammatory orofacial nociception and pain-associated affective and cognitive deficits. By combining behavioral, biochemical, endocannabinoid, and circuit-level analyses, the work links peripheral CB2-associated signaling, central CB1-associated anandamide regulation, and altered serotonin dynamics in the central amygdala.

Iptacopan Monotherapy in PNH: Evidence and Methods
2026-09-16
This phase 2 proof-of-concept study evaluated oral Iptacopan (LNP023) as single-agent factor B inhibition in treatment-naive patients with active paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria. Rapid reductions in LDH and other hemolytic markers, together with improved hemoglobin and reduced transfusion requirements, support proximal alternative-pathway inhibition as a clinically relevant strategy, while the small open-label design limits generalization.

Capsaicin: From TRPV1 Signaling to KDM1A
2026-09-15
Capsaicin is more than a canonical sensory-neuron agonist. Its rapid TRPV1 ion channel activation and reversible KDM1A/LSD1 inhibition create a translational framework linking pain, inflammation, itch, and gastric cancer research—provided that investigators separate exposure, target engagement, and phenotype.

Dynasore: Dynamin GTPase Inhibitor Guide
2026-09-14
Dynasore is a reversible, cell-permeable dynamin GTPase inhibitor used to dissect dynamin-dependent endocytosis and membrane trafficking. Its approximately 15 µM biochemical IC50 is a benchmark rather than a universal cellular dose, so assay-specific controls and orthogonal validation are essential.
