Enhancing Selective Brain Cancer Therapy: Integrating Nanomedicine and Molecular Dynamics to Target the Cancerous Lipid Composition

open access: yesNano Select, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2026.
Improving selectivity within therapeutic design is critical to ensure targeted delivery to brain tumors. Targeting the cellular membrane composition distinctive of the blood–brain barrier and brain cancer cells is explored in this review. Nanomedicine can be utilized for precise tumor recognition, and detailed mechanistic interactions of therapeutics ...

The BK channel antagonist, apamin, blocked the facilitating action of EtOH on network bursts.

open access: yes, 2013
A, sample recording of 3 neurons in the field of view, demonstrating that apamin at low concentration (40 nM) produces a transient facilitatory action on network activity.

Bee products as alternatives in the treatment of viral infections

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 1, Page 33-54, 15 January 2026.
Abstract Medicines used in the treatment of viral infections usually reduce symptoms. There is a need to develop drugs that inhibit the viruses and do not merely relieve the symptoms. Natural bee products possess many pharmacological properties and are widely used in folk medicine. There are many studies on the antibacterial effects of bee products but

Sevoflurane Inhibits Layer 5 Pyramidal Neurons via Kv1.2‐Dependent Modulation of Subthreshold Currents

open access: yesJournal of Neurochemistry, Volume 170, Issue 1, January 2026.
General anesthetics suppress cortical activity, but their cellular mechanisms remain unclear. We investigated how the volatile anesthetic sevoflurane affects layer 5 pyramidal neurons in the auditory cortex. Using patch‐clamp recordings and computational modeling, we found that low‐dose sevoflurane reduces neuronal firing through Kv1.2 channel ...

Apamin Reduces the Late Afterhyperpolarization of Lamprey Spinal Neurons, with Little Effect on Fictive Swimming

open access: yes, 1992
The role of the late afterhyperpolarization (late AHP) in the firing properties of lamprey spinal neurons was tested by bath application of apamin, a selective blocker of the sk calcium-dependent potassium current.

Animal Venom Pharmacological Resources: Exploiting Bioactive Peptides to Target Multi–Drug‐Resistant Bacteria

open access: yesBiochemistry Research International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background The escalating rise of multi–drug‐resistant (MDR) bacterial strains significantly threatens global health, creating a “silent pandemic” prompted by natural selection, gene mutation, and horizontal gene transfer. This crisis is worsened by the deficit in the development of new treatments, necessitating the innovative discovery of new potent ...

Apamin Sensitive Potassium Current Modulates Action Potential Duration Restitution and Arrhythmogenesis of Failing Rabbit Ventricles

open access: yes, 2013
Background: Apamin-sensitive K currents (I(KAS)) are upregulated in heart failure. We hypothesize that apamin can flatten action potential duration restitution (APDR) curve and can reduce ventricular fibrillation duration in failing ventricles.

Contribution of dopamine d1/5 receptor modulation of post-spike/burst afterhyperpolarization to enhance neuronal excitability of layer v pyramidal neurons in prepubertal rat prefrontal cortex. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Dopamine (DA) receptors in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) modulate both synaptic and intrinsic plasticity that may contribute to cognitive processing. However, the ionic basis underlying DA actions to enhance neuronal plasticity in PFC remains ill-defined ...
