"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 )."

"Given the indispensable role of microglia in epilepsy, we examined the proliferation and inflammatory activation of microglia and related proinflammatory cytokine production with the treatment of Kv1.3 blocker PAP-1 in KA-induced epileptic mice.We first quantitate microgliosis with marker Iba-1."

"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."

"Therefore, blockade of Kv1.3 on these cells may promote neurogenesis, thereby providing benefit to brain health [19], in addition to the benefits of blockade of microglial Kv1.3.Given the non-selective nature of Kv1.3 blockers such as PAP-1, development of Kv1.3 blockers with higher selectivity is essential for realising the therapeutic potential of Kv1.3 blockade in AD."

"First, we explored the effect of T2DM in the remodeling of human vessels using organ culture of hMA samples, to determine that these vessels exhibited larger IH lesions, increased Kv1.3 mRNA expression, and elevated sensitivity to the Kv1.3 blocker PAP-1, compared to non-T2DM vessels."

"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]."
