W-7
Based on 9 publication(s) in Google Scholar
W-7 is a selective calmodulin antagonist. W-7 inhibits the Ca2+-calmodulin-dependent phosphodiesterase and myosin light chain kinase with IC50 values of 28 μM and 51 μM, respectively. W-7 induces apoptosis and has antitumor and vascular relaxing activity. W-7 is a blocker of Kv4.3 and can be used for research of arrhythmias.

W-7 is distributed mainly in the cytoplasm, and inhibits proliferation of Chinese hamster ovary K1 (CHO-K1) cells. W-7 selectively blocks the phase of the cell cycle (G1/S boundary phase) in a manner. 25 μM W-7 arrests the growth of the cells at the G1/S boundary phase of the cell cycle[1].
W-7 (100 μM) exhibits a similar extent of antagonism between the contractile responses to carbachol and KCl. The increase in myosin light chain (P-LC) phosphate content in response to 1-min stimulation with 10 μM carbachol is inhibited by W-7. W-7 antagonizes the smooth muscle contraction through the inhibition of the initial increase in the P-LC phosphorylation[2].
Treatment with W-7 results in the dose-dependent inhibition of cell proliferation in various human multiple myeloma cell lines. W-7 induces G1 phase cell cycle arrest by downregulating cyclins and upregulating p21cip1. W-7 induces apoptosis via caspase activation; this occurred partly through the elevation of intracellular calcium levels and mitochondrial membrane potential depolarization and through inhibition of the STAT3 phosphorylation and subsequent downregulation of Mcl-1 protein[3].
W-7 competitively inhibits Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent phosphodiesterase with a Ki value of 300 μM[4].

The E3 ligase RNF32 controls the IκB kinase complex and NF-κB signaling in intestinal stem cells. [Abstract]2025 Oct 29:S1097-2765(25)00822-6. PMID: 41167191
W-7 purchased from MedChemExpress. Usage Cited in: Mol Cell. 2025 Oct 29:S1097-2765(25)00822-6. [Abstract]
HEK293T cells expressing FLAG‑tagged RNF32 were treated with PMA and IO for 90 min, then immunoprecipitated (IP) with an anti‑RNF32 antibody in the presence or absence of the indicated CaM inhibitors W-7 hydrochloride (25-100 μM) or Calmidazolium. Whole cell extracts (WCEs) were immunoprecipitated with anti-FLAG resin. Immunocomplexes and WCEs were analyzed by immunoblotting. The results showed that the CaM inhibitors W-7 hydrochloride and Calmidazolium reduced the binding of RNF32 to the IKK complex in cells treated with PMA and IO.

Immunofluorescence staining of endogenous RNF32 in U2OS cells stimulated with 10 ng/ml phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA) and 950 nM ionomycin (IO) for 90 minutes with or without the CaM inhibitor W‑7 hydrochloride (25-100 μM). The results showed that the CaM inhibitors W‑7 hydrochloride greatly reduced the formation of RNF32 condensates. Scale bars indicate 10 µm.
