Dissecting the Mechanism of Action of Spiperone— A Candidate for Drug Repurposing for Colorectal Cancer [PDF]

open access: goldCancers, 2022
Approximately 50% of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients still die from recurrence and metastatic disease, highlighting the need for novel therapeutic strategies. Drug repurposing is attracting increasing attention because, compared to traditional de novo drug discovery processes, it may reduce drug development periods and costs.

Micellar Hyaluronidase and Spiperone as a Potential Treatment for Pulmonary Fibrosis [PDF]

open access: goldInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021
Concentration of hyaluronic acid (HA) in the lungs increases in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). HA is involved in the organization of fibrin, fibronectin, and collagen. HA has been proposed to be a biomarker of fibrosis and a potential target for antifibrotic therapy.

Spiperone enhances intracellular calcium level and inhibits the Wnt signaling pathway [PDF]

open access: hybridBMC Pharmacology, 2009
Wnt signaling affects fundamental development pathways by regulating cell proliferation and differentiation. Aberrant activation of Wnt/beta-catenin signaling promotes the development of several cancers and is an attractive target for chemopreventive and chemotherapeutic agents.In order to identify the novel antagonists for the Wnt/beta-catenin pathway,

Examining the effects of sodium ions on the binding of antagonists to dopamine D2 and D3 receptors [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
Many G protein-coupled receptors have been shown to be sensitive to the presence of sodium ions (Na+). Using radioligand competition binding assays, we have examined and compared the effects of sodium ions on the binding affinities of a number of ...

Spiperone: evidence for uptake into secretory granules. [PDF]

open access: greenProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1984
Spiperone, a dopamine antagonist widely used as a specific ligand for dopamine and serotonin receptors, is actively accumulated into the F4C1 strain of rat pituitary tumor cells. The accumulation of 10 nM [3H]spiperone was linear for 3 min and reached a steady state after 10 min.

Improved PIEZO1 agonism through 4‐benzoic acid modification of Yoda1

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 180, Issue 16, Page 2039-2063, August 2023., 2023
Background and Purpose The protein PIEZO1 forms mechanically activated, calcium‐permeable, non‐selective cation channels in numerous cell types from several species. Options for pharmacological modulation are limited and so we modified a small‐molecule agonist at PIEZO1 channels (Yoda1) to increase the ability to modulate these channels.

Chewing the fat: How lipidomics is changing our understanding of human health and disease in 2022

open access: yesAnalytical Science Advances, Volume 4, Issue 3-4, Page 104-131, May 2023., 2023
Abstract Lipids are biological molecules that play vital roles in all living organisms. They perform many cellular functions, such as 1) forming cellular and subcellular membranes, 2) storing and using energy, and 3) serving as chemical messengers during intra‐ and inter‐cellular signal transduction.

Myopia control in Mendelian forms of myopia

open access: yesOphthalmic and Physiological Optics, Volume 43, Issue 3, Page 494-504, May 2023., 2023
Abstract Purpose To study the effectiveness of high‐dose atropine for reducing eye growth in Mendelian myopia in children and mice. Methods We studied the effect of high‐dose atropine in children with progressive myopia with and without a monogenetic cause. Children were matched for age and axial length (AL) in their first year of treatment.
