Orignially characterized as an mGluR5 negative allosteric modulator (IC50 = 1.35 μM, Emax = 3.82% of Glu Emax; rat mGluR5 HEK293A cells), ML365 is now better known as selective two-pore potassium (K2P) channel TASK1 (K2P3.1; KCNK3) inhibitor with 100- and 62-fold selectivity over TASK3 (K2p9.1; KCNK9), respectively, by thellium flux (rat TASK1/TASK3 CHO cell IC50 = 4/390 nM) and QPatch assay (rat TASK1/TASK3 CHO cell IC50 = 16/990 nM). ML365 is employed in the range from 40 nM to 20 μM. Selective TASK1 blockage is achieved at the lower end of the concentration range, while TASK3 activity can also be inhibited at the high end of the range.
Selective two-pore potassium (K2P) channel TASK1 (K2P3.1; KCNK3) inhibitor with 62- to 100-fold selectivity over TASK3 (K2p9.1; KCNK9).
TASK-1 is a two-pore domain potassium channel that is important to modulating cell excitability, most notably in the context of neuronal pathways. In order to leverage TASK-1 for therapeutic benefit, its physiological role needs better characterization; however, designing selective inhibitors
Ca2+ handling by the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) serves critical roles in controlling pancreatic β cell function and becomes perturbed during the pathogenesis of diabetes. ER Ca2+ homeostasis is determined by ion movements across the ER membrane, including K+ flux through
This Letter describes the discovery and SAR of three novel series of mGluR5 non-competitive antagonists/negative allosteric modulators (NAMs) not based on manipulation of an MPEP/MTEP chemotype identified by a functional HTS approach. This work demonstrates fundamentally new mGluR5 NAM chemotypes
Melanopsin is expressed in distinct types of intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs), which drive behaviors from circadian photoentrainment to contrast detection. A major unanswered question is how the same photopigment, melanopsin, influences such vastly different functions. Here we show
The zebrafish has emerged as a novel model for investigating cardiac physiology and pathology. The aim of this study was to investigate the atrium-specific ion channels responsible for shaping the atrial cardiac action potential in zebrafish. Using quantitative polymerase chain
