AK-42
AK-42 is a selective CLC-2 chloride channel inhibitor with human IC50 of 17 nM and rat IC50 of 14 nM. AK-42 binds to an extracellular vestibule above the channel pore, inhibits CLC-2 currents acutely and reversibly, including with auxiliary subunit GlialCAM coexpression. AK-42 acts as a selective tool compound for acute CLC-2 function modulation to probe CLC-2 neurophysiology. AK-42 can be used for the research of leukodystrophy and idiopathic generalized epilepsies.

Biological Activity
|
CLC-2 14 (rat) nM (IC50) |
CLC-2 17 (human) nM (IC50) |
AK-42 (5 min) potently inhibits human CLC-2 chloride currents stably expressed in CHO cells with an IC50 of 17 nM, and displays >1000-fold selectivity over CLC-1 with minimal off-target activity against other CNS membrane proteins and anion channels[1].
AK-42 potently and reversibly inhibits rat CLC-2 chloride currents transiently expressed in CHO cells with an IC50 of 14 nM, with comparable efficacy against CLC-2 coexpressed with GlialCAM, and its binding is dependent on specific extracellular channel residues including K210 and Q399[1].
