Potassium Channel

Nigericin sodium salt is an antibiotic, an NLRP3 activator, and a cationic ion carrier. Nigericin sodium triggers the activation of the NALP3 inflammasome, which inhibits Golgi function and suppresses the growth of Gram-positive bacteria.

Branaplam (LMI 070) is a highly potent, selective and orally active small molecule SMN2 splicing modulator.

Gut restricted-7 (GR-7) is a covalent and orally active pan-bile salt hydrolase (BSH) inhibitor that reduces gut bacterial BSHs and decreases deconjugated bile acid levels in the feces of mice.

Sulcardine 2HCl is a multi-ion channel blocker with antiarrhythmic effects that blocks the properties of hERG and hNav1.5 channels and can be used to study atrial fibrillation and ventricular arrhythmias.

Rosuvastatin (ZD4522) is an inhibitor of HMG-CoA reductase (HMGCR) (IC50=11 nM), selective and competitive. Rosuvastatin has hypolipidemic and antiatherosclerotic effects.

Atpenin A5 is a potent and highly specific complex II inhibitor (IC50 ~10 nM), as well as an effective mKATP channel agonist and cardioprotective agent [1].

BAPTA-AM is a calcium chelator that is cell-permeable and selective, blocking hERG, hKv1.3, and hKv1.5 channels (IC50=1.3 1.45 1.23 μM). BAPTA-AM has a 105-fold higher affinity for Ca2+ than for Mg2+, and can be used for the role of calcium in cell signaling.

BSH-IN-1 is a potent, covalent inhibitor of gut bacterial recombinant bile salt hydrolases (BSHs; IC50s: 108 nM for B. longum BSH and 427 nM for B. theta BSH).

Sulfatinib (KDR-IN-1) (HMPL-012) is a potent and highly selective tyrosine kinase inhibitor against VEGFR1 2 3, FGFR1 and CSF1R with IC 50 s ranging from 1 to 24 nM.

20(S)-Ginsenoside Rg3 (Rg3) possess an ability to inhibit the lung metastasis of tumor cells via inhibition of the adhesion and invasion of tumor cells. It inhibits the proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVEC) and has anti-angiogenesis activities.

Levosimendan (OR1259) is a calcium sensitizer used in the management of acutely decompensated congestive heart failure. It increases the sensitivity of the heart to calcium, thus increasing cardiac contractility without a rise in intracellular calcium. Levosimendan exerts its effect by increasing calcium sensitivity of myocytes by binding to cardiac troponin C in a calcium-dependent manner.

JNJ-26489112 is a CNS-active agent and inhibitor of voltage-gated Na+ channels and N-type Ca2+ channels with broad-spectrum anticonvulsant activity in rodents and can be used to study neurological disorders.

Maralixibat Chloride (LUM001 chloride), an apical, sodium-dependent, bile acid transport inhibitor, prevents enterohepatic bile acid recirculation.

E-4031 is a methanesulfonanilide class III antiarrhythmic agent that prolongs cardiac action potential duration by blocking ERG K+ channels (IC50 = 29 nM)

SCH-23390 hydrochloride (R-(+)-SCH23390 hydrochloride) is an effective dopamine receptor antagonist, with high affinity for the D1 (Ki=0.2 nM) and D5 (Ki=0.3 nM) receptors.

Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) can be used to dissolve gallstones and reduce cholesterol absorption.

Pimozide (R6238) is a diphenylbutylpiperidine derivative and a dopamine antagonist with the antipsychotic property. Pimozide selectively inhibits type 2 dopaminergic receptors in the central nervous system (CNS), thereby decreasing dopamine neurotransmission and reducing the occurrence of the motor and vocal tics and delusions of parasitosis. In addition, this agent antagonizes alpha-adrenergic and 5-HT2 receptors.

ASP-2905 is a potent and selective inhibitor of potassium channel Kv12.2 encoded by the Kcnh3 BEC1 gene. It can cross the blood-brain barrier and has antipsychotic activities

IKs124 is a KCNE2 KCNQ1 potassium channel blocker with an IC50 = 8 nM, as well as an IC50 of 370 nM and 440 nM for KCNE1 and KCNE3, respectively, and can be used to study peptic ulcers.

Ropivacaine hydrochloride (Ropivacaine monohydrochloride) is the hydrochloride salt of ropivacaine, a local anesthetic of the amide type with analgesic activity.

Tetrandrine (Sinomenine A) is a naturally occurring biphenylisoquinoline alkaloid, a calcium channel inhibitor. Tetrandrine inhibits voltage-gated calcium channels (ICa) and Ca2+-activated potassium channels.

Nifekalant hydrochloride is an IKr potassium channel blocker with an IC50 of 10 µM. It is a Class III antiarrhythmic compound and can be used in the study of tachyarrhythmias.

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.

Minoxidil sulfate (U-58838) is the active metabolite required to exert the vasodilatory and hair growing effects of minoxidil.
