Fluoxakalner
Fluoxakalner is a selective Kv7.2/7.3 channel opener with an EC50 of 0.36 μM. Fluoxakalner accelerates the activation kinetics of Kv7.2/7.3 channels and produces anti-nociceptive effects. Fluoxakalner is applicable for pain research.

Fluoxakalner (0.03-10 μM) potently activates Kv7.2/7.3 channels stably expressed in HEK293 cells with an EC50 of 0.36 μM, shifts channel activation to more hyperpolarized potentials, accelerates activation kinetics, and slows deactivation kinetics[1].
Fluoxakalner (0.03-30 μM) preferentially activates Kv7.2/7.3 channels over other Kv7 subtypes, with no activity on Kv7.1 channels, and activates homotetrameric Kv7.2, Kv7.4, and Kv7.5 channels with EC50 values of 0.83 μM, 3.61 μM, and 1.23 μM, respectively, in transfected HEK293/HEK293T cells[1].
Fluoxakalner (10 μM) does not inhibit hERG or Nav1.5 channels stably expressed in CHO cells[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Fluoxakalner (1-5 mg/kg; i.p.; single dose) reduces visceral nociceptive behavior in mice, with the 5 mg/kg dose producing a 41% reduction in Acetic acid (HY-Y0319)-induced abdominal writhes[1].
Fluoxakalner (1-5 mg/kg; i.p.; single dose) exerts dose-dependent antinociceptive effects in a mouse acute thermal pain model, with the 5 mg/kg dose increasing tail-flick latency by 50% at 1 h post-administration[1].
Fluoxakalner (1-5 mg/kg; i.p.; single dose) attenuates both acute and inflammatory pain components in the mouse formalin test, with the 5 mg/kg dose yielding significant reductions in nociceptive licking behavior in both test phases[1].
Fluoxakalner (1-10 mg/kg; i.p.; single dose) does not impair locomotor activity or motor coordination in mice at doses up to 10 mg/kg[1].
