Halazone and Sodium Current Inactivation in Frog Nerves
2026-09-15
The reference study shows that Halazone and hypochlorous acid strongly disrupt sodium-current inactivation in voltage-clamped frog myelinated nerve fibers, whereas several other oxidants mainly shift the voltage dependence of inactivation. Its comparative reagent design argues against a critical role for methionine and instead raises membrane-lipid modification as a tentative explanation.

GnRH Antagonist Stereochemistry and Biological Activity
2026-09-12
Samant and colleagues examined how replacing position 3 of degarelix with stereochemically distinct 3-(2-methoxy-5-pyridyl)-alanine residues affected GnRH receptor antagonism and in vivo duration. The study shows that the D-configured analogue retained nanomolar in vitro activity, whereas the L-configured analogue was substantially weaker, yet both compounds were short-acting in rats.

CHAP Model for Major Bleeding During Extended VTE Therapy
2026-09-11
This prospective multinational cohort study evaluated major bleeding risk during extended anticoagulation after unprovoked or weakly provoked venous thromboembolism. Modified ACCP, VTE-BLEED, and HAS-BLED scores identified higher-risk patients, while the simpler CHAP model used continuous creatinine, hemoglobin, and age measurements and showed comparable discrimination, although external validation remains necessary.
