Repurposing Probenecid for the Treatment of Heart Failure (Re-Prosper-HF): a study protocol for a randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial

Trials, 2022
Background Improving contractility in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) has resurfaced as a potential treatment goal. Inotropic therapy is now better understood through its underlying mechanism as opposed to the observed effect of ...

Blebbistatin reduces calcium buffering in cardiomyocytes: Consequences for cellular electrophysiology

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Blebbistatin reduces Ca2+ buffering in induced pluripotent stem cell‐derived atrial cardiomyocytes. Blebbistatin, a widely used excitation–contraction uncoupling agent, decreases calcium (Ca2+) buffer affinity (increased buffer dissociation constant), leading to elevated diastolic Ca2+ levels, increased sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+

Baicalin and probenecid protect against Glaesserella parasuis challenge in a piglet model

Veterinary Research
Glaesserella parasuis (G. parasuis) induces vascular damage and systemic inflammation. However, the mechanism by which it causes vascular damage is currently unclear. Baicalin has important anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and immunomodulatory functions.

PANX2 Suppresses Lung Adenocarcinoma Progression by Inducing Disulfidptosis and Enhancing Antitumor Immunity

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 44, 7 August 2026.
ABSTRACT Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) remains a leading cause of cancer mortality with limited therapeutic options. Disulfidptosis, a novel cell death modality driven by disulfide stress, represents a promising target, yet its regulation in LUAD is poorly defined. Here, we identify Pannexin 2 (PANX2) as a tumor suppressor in LUAD.

Northeast China Traditional Kimchi (Paocai) Probiotic Resources Metabolized Uric Acid and Relieved Hyperuricemia in Mice

eFood, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
Traditional fermented Kimchi “paocai”, commonly consumed in Northeast China, was screened for probiotic resources capable of degrading uric acid in vitro and alleviating hyperuricemia in a mouse model. Abstract Current pharmacological therapies for hyperuricemia (HUA), though effective, pose safety concerns, including allopurinol‐induced severe dermal ...

Probenecid Inhibits Human Metapneumovirus (HMPV) Replication In Vitro and in BALB/c Mice

Viruses
Human metapneumovirus (HMPV) is an important cause of acute respiratory tract infection and causes significant morbidity and mortality. There is no specific antiviral drug to treat HMPV or vaccine to prevent HMPV.

Neurokinin‐1 receptor activation protects against cardiac fibrosis, inflammation and diastolic dysfunction in type 2 diabetic mice

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 15, Page 4246-4266, August 2026.
Background and Purpose The pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM)‐induced cardiomyopathy involves cardiac fibrosis that leads to diastolic dysfunction. We established that replacement of lost substance P (SP) that occurs in T2DM reduces cardiac fibrosis and decreases inflammation in T2DM mice and non‐human primates.

Pomegranate Peel Polyphenol Extract Ameliorates Hyperuricemia by Inhibiting Uric Acid Synthesis and Reabsorption

Chemical Biology &Drug Design, Volume 108, Issue 2, August 2026.
The graphical abstract illustrates the action mechanisms through which PPE alleviates HUA by inhibiting XOD activity, and by suppressing the PI3K‐AKT signaling pathway to downregulate the expression of the urate reabsorption transporters URAT1 and GLUT9, thereby promoting renal UA excretion and attenuating renal injury.

Cross Carbonyl‐Olefin Metathesis of Unactivated Olefins

Advanced Synthesis &Catalysis, Volume 368, Issue 13, 2 July 2026.
A method for the olefination of aryl aldehydes with unactivated alkenes via cross carbonyl‐olefin metathesis is described. Reaction of an aldehyde substrate with a cis−1,2‐disubstituted or monosubstituted olefin using the HBF4 salt of 2,3‐diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane results in high‐yielding olefination with exclusive trans stereoselectivity. The reaction
