GV-58 is a roscovitine analog that retains the ability to prolong the open state of calcium channels, but unlike roscovitine, is inactive against Cdk activity. GV-58 is a selective agonist of N-type and P/Q type calcium channels, which are critical to the triggering of neurotransmitter release at the neuromuscular junction. GV-58 has been studied as a possible therapeutic agent in a mouse model of Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS). The EC50 values for activation of N-, P/Q- and L- type calcium channels are 6.8, 9.9 and >100 μM, respectively.

Motor neurons are the site of action for several neurological disorders and paralytic toxins, with cell bodies located in the ventral horn (VH) of the spinal cord along with interneurons and support cells. Microelectrode arrays (MEAs) have emerged as a
Axons in the adult mammalian central nervous system fail to regenerate after spinal cord injury. Neurons lose their capacity to regenerate during development, but the intracellular processes underlying this loss are unclear. We found that critical components of the presynaptic
