Potassium Channel
KcsA
Potassium channels are the most widely distributed type of ion channel and are found in virtually all living organisms. They form potassium-selective pores that span cell membranes. Potassium channels are found in most cell types and control a wide variety of cell functions. Potassium channels function to conduct potassium ions down their electrochemical gradient, doing so both rapidly and selectively. Biologically, these channels act to set or reset the resting potential in many cells. In excitable cells, such asneurons, the delayed counterflow of potassium ions shapes the action potential. By contributing to the regulation of the action potential duration in cardiac muscle, malfunction of potassium channels may cause life-threatening arrhythmias. Potassium channels may also be involved in maintaining vascular tone.

Mepyramine maleate
0 ImagesMepyramine maleate (Pyrilamine maleate) is a selective histamine H1 receptor antagonist and KCNQ channel inhibitor, with an IC50 of 12.5 μM against KCNQ2/Q3. Mepyramine maleate shows no activity against allergic asthma in mice when used alone, but modulates the effect of JNJ 7777120 (HY-13508) on allergic asthma in mice; it inhibits the development of morphine physical dependence and increases histamine levels in mouse brains. Mepyramine maleate can be used in studies related to seizures, convulsions, allergic asthma and morphine physical dependence.

Ifenprodil tartrate
0 ImagesSynonyms: NP-120 tartrate; RC-61-91 tartrateIfenprodil (NP-120) tartrate, a cerebral vasodilator, is a noncompetitive NMDA receptor antagonist. Ifenprodil tartrate exerts high affinity at NR1A/NR2B receptors (IC50=0.34 μM) over 400-fold than at NR1A/NR2A receptors (IC50=146 μM). Ifenprodil tartrate is an α1 adrenergic receptor antagonist. Ifenprodil tartrate inhibits GIRK (Kir3), reduces inward currents through the basal GIRK activity. Ifenprodil tartrate has reliable inhibitory effects against A/H1N1 strains (EC50 of 6.6 µM). Ifenprodil tartrate has neuroprotective, anticonvulsant and antinociceptive effects. Ifenprodil tartrate can be used for the study of cerebrovascular diseases and peripheral arterial obliterative disease.
