生物化学的／生理学的作用
ML218 (CID 45115620) is a potent and selective T-Type (Cav3.1, Cav3.2, Cav3.3) calcium channel inhibitor (Cav3.2, IC50 = 150 nM in Ca2+ flux; Cav3.2 IC50 = 310 nM and Cav3.3 IC50 = 270 nM with good Drug metabolism/Pharmacokinetics. In a panel of 68 GPCRs, ion channels and transporters, ML218 was found to bind significantly only two other targets (sodium channel site 2 and sigma 1) and had no significant inhibition of L- or N-type calcium channels, KATP or hERG potassium channels. It showed robust inhibition of calcium current in STN neurons and was orally active in a rodent model of Parkinson′s Disease.
ML218 is a potent, selective T-Type calcium channel inhibitor.

Malignant migrating partial seizures of infancy is a rare, devastating form of epilepsy most commonly associated with gain-of-function mutations in the potassium channel, Slack. Not only is this condition almost completely pharmacoresistant, there are not even selective drug-like tools available
Expression patterns of voltage-gated ion channels determine the spatio-temporal dynamics of ion currents that supply excitable neurons in developing tissue with proper electrophysiological properties. The purpose of the study was to identify fast cationic inward currents in mouse retinal horizontal

Postcapillary venules (PCVs) play a critical role in regulating capillary hydrostatic pressure, but their contractile mechanisms are not well understood. We examined the properties of spontaneous vasomotion and corresponding Ca(2+) transients in gastric PCV. In the rat gastric submucosa, changes

Arginine vasopressin (AVP) neurons play essential roles in sensing the change in systemic osmolarity and regulating AVP release from their neuronal terminals to maintain the plasma osmolarity. AVP exocytosis depends on the Ca2+ entry via voltage-gated Ca2+ channels (VGCCs) in
T-type calcium channels are low voltage-activated calcium channels that evoke small and transient calcium currents. Recently, T-type calcium channels have been implicated in neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism spectrum disorder and neural tube defects. However, their function during embryonic development
