Ecabapide (DQ-2511) is a novel gastrointestinal motility promoter that significantly enhances gastric emptying in SHRSP.Ecabapide activates cyclic GMP-dependent housekeeping Cl- channels in rabbit gastric wall cells.

Fenamic acid (N-Phenylanthranilic acid) is a chloride channel blocker that causes renal papillary necrosis in rats. Fenamic acid serves as a parent structure for several nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), including flufenamic acid, tolfenamic acid, mefenamic acid, and meclofenamic acid.

Selamectin (UK-124114) is a macrocyclic lactone derivative of ivermectin, an anthelmintic that potentiates glutamate- and GABA-gated chloride channel opening in nematodes. In an H. contortus larval development assay, selamectin (0.1 μg ml) shows the effect of growth inhibition.

Flufenamic acid (Arlef) is an anthranilic acid derivative with analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic properties. It is used in musculoskeletal and joint disorders and administered by mouth and topically.

Niflumic acid (Nifluril) is a Ca2+-activated Cl- channel blocker and an analgesic and anti-inflammatory agent used in the therapy of rheumatoid arthritis.

Moxidectin (CL301423) is an anthelmintic drug which kills parasitic worms, and is used for the prevention and control of heartworm and intestinal worms. It can be found in treatments prescribed for animals such as dogs, cats, horses, cattle and sheep. Application methods for moxidectin vary by treatment, and include oral, topical, and injectable solutions. Cydectin Pour On is a trade name for a formulation for use on cattle and red deer.

Meticrane (Arresten) is a sulphonamide-derivative with thiazide-like diuretic activity.

T16Ainh-A01 is a potent inhibitor of TMEM16A Chloride channel, inhibiting TMEM16A-mediated chloride currents (IC50 of 1 µM),and functions as a calcium-activated chloride channel (CaCC).

Shikonin (Anchusa acid) is a natural product, a TMEM16A chloride channel inhibitor (IC50=6.5 μM) and selective PKM2 inhibitor. Shikonin exhibits antitumor, anti-inflammatory and wound healing activities.

Talniflumate (Somalgen) is a calcium-activated chloride channel (hCLCA1 mCLCA3) blocker that reduces mucin synthesis and releases in animal models and cell culture. It possesses anti-inflammatory actions via inhibition of Cox (cyclooxygenase) and inhibits Cl- HCO3- exchange activity. It also increases survival in a cystic fibrosis mouse model of the distal intestinal obstructive syndrome.

Benzthiazide (Lemazide) is used in the therapy of edema and hypertension. Like other thiazides, benzthiazide accelerates water loss from the body (diuretics). They inhibit Na+ Cl- reabsorption from the distal convoluted tubules in the kidneys. Thiazides also cause loss of potassium and an increase in serum uric acid. Thiazides are often used to treat hypertension, but their hypotensive effects are not necessarily due to their diuretic activity. Thiazides have been shown to prevent hypertension-related morbidity and mortality although the mechanism is not fully understood. Thiazides cause vasodilation by activating calcium-activated potassium channels (large conductance) in vascular smooth muscles and inhibiting various carbonic anhydrases in vascular tissue.

Lubiprostone (RU-0211), an activator of ClC-2 chloride channels, is used in the therapy of idiopathic chronic constipation.

CaCCinh-A01 is an inhibitor of the calcium-activated chloride channel (CaCC, 10 μM) and TMEM16A (IC50: 2.1 μM).

Endovion (NS3728) is a pharmacological anion channel and an Anoctamin-1 (ANO 1) channel inhibitor. Endovion is also the specific VRAC VSOAC blocker.

Eact is a selective and potent TMEM16A activator that directly activates the TRPV1 channels in sensory nociceptors, thereby producing itch, acute nociception, and thermal hypersensitivity (brackets).

DCPIB, a known specific and potent inhibitor of volume-regulated anion channels (VRAC),DCPIB displayed superior selectivity toward TRESK with an IC50 of 0.14 μM, demonstrating at least 100-fold higher affinity over TREK1 TRAAK channels.

NPPB is a chloride channel blocker with IC50 of 80 nM .

Irisolidone is a potent volume-regulated anion channel (VRAC) current inhibitor, it exhibits high efficacy for VRAC blockade with IC50s of 5-13 μM.

VU 0240551 is a selective antagonist of neuronal K-Cl cotransporter KCC2 inhibitor with an IC50 of 560 nM. VU 0240551 inhibits L-type calcium channels and hERG.

In epididymal epithelial cells, AF-2785 inhibits cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator Cl(-) channels.

Afoxolaner is an isoxazoline insecticide acaricide against Ixodes scapularis in dogs. Afoxolaner acts on the insect GABA and glutamate receptors, inhibiting GABA & glutamate-regulated uptake of chloride ions, resulting in excess neuronal stimulation and death of the arthropod.

NS1652 is an anion conductance inhibitor. NS1652 blocks chloride channel has an IC50 of 1.6 μM in human and mouse red blood cells.

MONNA is a potent TMEM16A (Anoctamin-1) blocker (IC50 : 80 nM). It induces vasorelaxation of rodent resistance arteries in presence or absence of chloride ions.

Adjudin (AF-2364) is a small molecule compound known to possess antispermatogenic function, attenuates microglia activation by suppression of the NF-κB pathway.
