Calcium Channel Blocker Verapamil Enhances Reticulum Stress and Death Induced by Proteasome Inhibition in Myeloma Cells

open access: yesNeoplasia: An International Journal for Oncology Research, 2010
The proteasome inhibitor bortezomib is clinically approved for the treatment of multiple myeloma. However, long-term remissions are difficult to achieve, and myeloma cells often develop secondary resistance to proteasome inhibitors.

Verapamil, and its metabolite norverapamil, inhibit macrophage-induced, bacterial efflux pump-mediated tolerance to multiple anti-tubercular drugs.

open access: yesJournal of Infectious Diseases, 2014
Drug tolerance likely represents an important barrier to tuberculosis treatment shortening. We previously implicated the Mycobacterium tuberculosis efflux pump Rv1258c as mediating macrophage-induced tolerance to rifampicin and intracellular growth.

Addressing Data Point Homogeneity and Annotation Challenges to Enhance Data‐Driven Approaches: The S. aureus NorA Efflux Pump Case Study

open access: yesChemMedChem, EarlyView.
Analysis of publicly available data on the biological activities associated with the Staphylococcus aureus NorA efflux pump shows critical inconsistencies and homogeneity issues that hinder the discovery of NorA inhibitors. Based on the tips extracted from this analysis, a standardized experimental pipeline is proposed to improve data quality and ...

Comparative Study of Protective Effect of Cimetidine and Verapamil on Paracetamol-Induced Hepatotoxicity in Mice

open access: yesInternational Journal of Hepatology, 2020
Paracetamol, chemically known as acetaminophen, if taken in higher doses has hepatotoxic potential. Cimetidine by inhibiting the cytochromal enzymes and reducing the production of the toxic metabolite can reduce the hepatotoxic potential while Verapamil ...

Role of protein kinase C in inhibition of renin release caused by vasoconstrictors [PDF]

open access: yes, 1986
It was the aim of the present study to get insight into some of the intracellular mechanisms by which the vasoconstrictor hormones angiotensin II (ANG II), arginine vasopressin (AVP), and norepinephrine (NE) inhibit renin release from renal ...

Verapamil Increases the Bactericidal Activity of Bedaquiline against Mycobacterium tuberculosis in a Mouse Model

open access: yesAntimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2014
Bedaquiline is a newly approved drug for the treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, but there are concerns about its safety in humans. We found that the coadministration of verapamil with subinhibitory doses of bedaquiline gave the same ...
