Norovirus Co-opts NINJ1 for Selective Secretion
2026-08-12
The reference study shows that murine norovirus exploits NINJ1-mediated plasma membrane rupture to release the viral protein NS1, while simultaneously permitting broad damage-associated molecular pattern release. By combining CRISPR screening, mechanistic cell biology, viral mutagenesis, and mouse infection models, the authors define a caspase-3– and NINJ1-dependent unconventional secretion pathway with implications for viral immune evasion.

Phenothiazines Boost Macrophage Antibacterial Defense
2026-08-11
The 2025 reference study identifies phenothiazines as host-directed antibacterial lead compounds that strengthen macrophage activity through reactive oxygen species accumulation, lysosomal activation, and autophagy. Inhibitor and scavenger experiments, together with a Salmonella Typhimurium infection model, support a mechanism centered on host-cell defense rather than direct bacterial killing.

Chlorpromazine HCl in Endocytosis Assays
2026-08-11
Chlorpromazine HCl is a practical dopamine receptor antagonist for neuropharmacology studies and a useful pharmacological probe of clathrin-dependent uptake. This guide converts evidence from a Drosophila S2–Spiroplasma model into executable assay design, controls, and troubleshooting strategies while highlighting the limits of pathway-selective interpretation.

Prochlorperazine-Induced Hemidystonia Mimicking Stroke
2026-08-10
The case report Mimicking Acute Stroke describes a pregnant patient whose sudden unilateral weakness and dysarthria triggered an emergency stroke evaluation but were ultimately attributed to prochlorperazine-induced hemidystonia. Its main contribution is diagnostic: evolving orofacial dystonia, medication-history review, rapid response to diphenhydramine, and negative MRI together distinguished a dopamine D2 receptor antagonist adverse effect from acute ischemic stroke.

Sulfaphenazole Optimization for Tuberculosis Therapy
2026-08-08
Chen and colleagues optimized sulfaphenazole-derived sulfonamides to retain antimycobacterial activity while reducing CYP 2C9 inhibition, a liability associated with drug–drug interactions. Compound 10d combined a reported MIC of 5.69 μg/mL with CYP 2C9 inhibition above 10 μM, supporting further investigation of sulfonamide-based combination strategies against Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
