NS 11021
Based on 3 publication(s) in Google Scholar
NS 11021 is a potent and specific Ca2+-activated big-conductance K+ Channels (KCa1.1 channels) activator. NS 11021 at concentrations above 0.3 μM activates KCa1.1 in a concentration-dependent manner by parallelshifting the channel activation curves to more negative potentials.

Biological Activity
Ca2+-activated big-conductance K+ Channels[1]
NS 11021 (1-30 μM) increases the current of hKCa1.1 from 2 μA to 4 μA at the concentration of 3 μM and can activate the hKCa1.1 expression channel in a dose-dependent manner in X. laevis oocytes[1].
NS 11021 (3 μM) increases hKCa1.1 current for channels by 171 % which repeatedly shifts between open and closed structures while increases the hKCa1.1 current by 187 % for channels kept in closed conformation in X. laevis oocytes[1].
NS 11021 (0-10 μM) can enhance hKCa1.1 currents in a concentration-dependent manner in monoclonal HEK293 cells stably expressing hKCa1.1[1].
NS 11021 (5 or 50 μM) has no effect on resting membrane potential (RMP), while significantly increasing action potential (AP) rise time in a dose-dependent manner in frogs gastrocnemius muscles. NS 11021 completely reverses the deleterious effects of hydrogen peroxide on the AP repolarization phase in skeletal muscle fibers[2].
NS 11021 (1 μM) effectively attenuates mitoBK channel damage, mitochondrial respiratory dysfunction, depolarization, superoxide production and cell death induced by CS + RW (cold storage (18 h) and rewarming (2 h)) in rat kidney proximal tubular epithelial (NRK) cells[3].

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.
- For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
- To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for In Vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
- The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (4.07 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
