Biological Activity
Org 34167 freebase restores voltage dependence and reduces cation leak in homomeric HCN1M305L channels, heterozygous HCN1WT+M305L channels, and heterozygous channels expressing five additional HCN1 DEE variants in Xenopus laevis oocytes[1].
Org 34167 freebase inhibits wild‑type human HCN1 channels expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes via multiple mechanisms, including a dose‑dependent hyperpolarizing shift in the mid‑point voltage of activation (V0.5, IC50 = 331 μM), and a dose‑dependent change in effective valence (z, IC50 = 219 μM)[2].
Org 34167 freebase inhibits truncated human HCN1WT-Δ channels expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes via mechanisms independent of the CNBD[2].
Org 34167 freebase modulates human HCN1 channel gating by altering the PD open-closed equilibrium (IC50 = 7.9 μM), weakening VSD-PD coupling (IC50 = 63 μM), and favoring inactive VSD states (IC50 = 316 μM)[2].
Org 34167 (compound 33) (0.1-1 mM; 4 h) freebase shows high permeability across Caco-2 cell monolayers with Papp,ab values of 1.42×10-5 cm/s at 1 mM and 1.25×10-5 cm/s at 0.1 mM, and permeability ratios < 2, indicating it is not a Pgp substrate in this system[3].
