"Using young male mice and rats we previously demonstrated that the Kv1.3 blocker PAP-1 when started 12 h after reperfusion dose-dependently reduces infarction and improves neurological deficit on day 8. However, these proof-of-concept findings are of limited translational value because the majority of strokes occur in patients over 65 and, when considering overall lifetime risk, in females."

"A more recent study showed that PAP-1 inhibition of Kv1.3 channels in AD model APP/PS1 transgenic mice from 9 to 14 months of age resulted in decreased neuroinflammation and cerebral amyloid load, increased hippocampal neuronal plasticity, and improved behavioral deficits of treatment group mice with respect to the control group ( xref )."

"Identification of Phase-I Metabolites of the Kv1.3 Blocker PAP-1 (5-(4-Phenoxybutoxy)psoralen) in the Rat NIH Public Access Author Manuscript.PAP-1 (5-(4-phenoxybutoxy)psoralen), a potent small-molecule blocker of the voltage-gated potassium Kv1.3 channel, is currently in pre-clinical development for psoriasis."

"Interestingly, in a study using the middle cerebral artery occlusion model, a model of ischemic stroke that involves the formation of occlusive platelet thrombi in response to combined thrombotic and inflammatory stimuli[71], the selective Kv1.3 blocker Pap-1 dose-dependently reduced the infarct area in rodents, reducing microglial activation and improving neuronal survival[72]."
