Bleomycin Sulfate: DNA Damage & Fibrosis Protocols
2026-08-12
Bleomycin Sulfate (SKU A8331) supports controlled DNA-damage, cancer-cell response, and pulmonary fibrosis research when solvent handling, exposure titration, and endpoint QC are standardized. It should not be treated as a universally validated dose or formulation: avoid ethanol, do not transfer an IC50 between cell types without testing, and avoid long-term storage of prepared solutions.

Structure-Based Screening of SARS-CoV-2 NSP15
2026-08-11
The 2021 study by Vijayan and Gourinath used structure-based virtual screening and molecular dynamics simulations to prioritize natural products that bind the SARS-CoV-2 NSP15 endoribonuclease. Thymopentin and oleuropein produced the strongest computational profiles, but the results remain hypothesis-generating and require biochemical, cellular, pharmacokinetic, and clinical validation.

Taltirelin Inhibits Acute and Chronic Itch
2026-08-08
A 2024 study tested the thyrotropin-releasing hormone analog Taltirelin in mouse models of both acute chloroquine-evoked itch and chronic diphenylcyclopropenone-associated itch. Systemic Taltirelin reduced scratching in a dose-dependent manner in the acute model and also alleviated persistent scratching, supporting further investigation of centrally acting antipruritic mechanisms.
