NaV1.6 inhibition drives the efficacy of voltage-gated sodium channel inhibitors to prevent electrically induced seizures in both wild type and Scn8aN1768D/+ gain-of-function mice

The paper shows that inhibiting NaV1.6 reduces seizures in both wild-type and Scn8aN1768D/+ mice, suggesting NaV1.6 is a key target for anti-seizure drugs.

Potent, Gut-Restricted Inhibitors of Divalent Metal Transporter 1 (DMT1): Preclinical Efficacy Against Iron Overload and Safety Evaluation

This paper identifies XEN602, a potent, gut-restricted DMT1 inhibitor, showing efficacy in reducing iron overload in rats and pigs with minimal systemic exposure.

NBI-921352, a First-in-Class, Na V 1.6 Selective, Sodium Channel Inhibitor That Prevents Seizures in Scn8a Gain-of- Function Mice, and Wild-Type Mice and Rats

This paper describes NBI-921352, a selective NaV1.6 inhibitor that prevents seizures in Scn8a gain-of-function mice and wild-type models, with better efficacy and tolerability than existing antiseizure drugs.
