Zaldaride maleate  (Synonyms: CGS-9343B; KW 5617)

Zaldaride maleate (CGS-9343B) is a potent, orally active and selective inhibitor of calmodulin. Zaldaride maleate inhibits CaM (calmodulin)-stimulated cAMP phosphodiesterase activity, with an IC₅₀ of 3.3 nM^[1][2]. Zaldaride maleate prevents estrogen-induced transcription activation by ER, reversibly blocks voltage-activated Na⁺, Ca²⁺ and K⁺ currents in PC12 cells and inhibits nAChR^[3].

IC50: 3.3 nM (calmodulin)^[1][2].

Zaldaride (KW 5617, P.O., 3 mg/kg) maleate ameliorates the diarrhea in the 16, 16-dimethyl prostaglandin E₂ model^[4].
