Biochem/physiol Actions

Z944 is an orally available, state-dependent, potent and selective T-type calcium channel blocker (hCav3.1/Cav3.2/Cav3.3 IC50 by voltage clamp = 50/160/110 nM under ~30% inactivated state & 130/540/260 nM in the closed state) over non-T-type voltage-gated channels (rCaV2.2 IC50 = 11 μM/30% inactivated & 150 μM/closed; hERG/rCaV1.2/hNaV1.5 IC50 = 7.8/32/100 μM). Z944 effectively suppresses seizure activity in the GAERS (absence epilepsy rats from Strasbourg) model in vivo (10-30 mg/kg qod ip.) with no adverse cardiovascular effects or neurotoxicity.

The role of T-type calcium channels in brain diseases such as absence epilepsy and neuropathic pain has been studied extensively. However, less is known regarding the involvement of T-type channels in cognition and behavior. Prepulse inhibition (PPI) is a measure

Absence seizures are a common seizure type in children with genetic generalized epilepsy and are characterized by a temporary loss of awareness, arrest of physical activity, and accompanying spike-and-wave discharges on an electroencephalogram. They arise from abnormal, hypersynchronous neuronal firing

Neurobiology of disease, 94, 106-115 (2016-06-11)
Childhood absence epilepsy (CAE) is often comorbid with behavioral and cognitive symptoms, including impaired visual memory. Genetic Absence Epilepsy Rats from Strasbourg (GAERS) is an animal model closely resembling CAE; however, cognition in GAERS is poorly understood. Crossmodal object recognition

Behavioural brain research, 361, 54-64 (2018-12-15)
Abnormalities in social behavior are a co-morbid symptom of idiopathic generalized epilepsies such as childhood absence epilepsy. The Genetic Absence Epilepsy Rats from Strasbourg (GAERS) model is a spontaneously occurring absence epilepsy phenotype closely correlated to that of human absence
