Icilin is a cooling agent that activates the novel cold receptors TRPM8 (CMR1) and TRPA1 (ANKTM1/TRPN1), members of the TRP ion channel family. Induces currents in CMR1-expressing HEK 293 cells (EC50 = 0.36 μM)
KB130015 is a novel activator of hERG1 potassium channels, blocking native and recombinant hERG1 channels at high voltages, but activating them at low voltages.
Cannabichromene is a major non-psychotropic phytocannabinoid that inhibits endocannabinoid inactivation and activates the transient receptor potential ankyrin-1 (TRPA1). Both endocannabinoids and TRPA1 may modulate gastrointestinal motility.
CDN1163 is a SERCA2 allosteric activator. It increases Ca2+-ATPase activity and Ca2+ uptake by ER microsomes from obese mice. Rescues HEK cells from ER stress-induced cell death.
VU0529331 is a modestly selective non-GIRK1-containing G protein-gated, inwardly-rectifying, potassium channel (non-GIRK1/X) activator, with EC50s of 5.1 ?M and 5.2 ?M for GIRK2 and GIRK1/2 in HEK293 cells, respectively, also effective on GIRK4 homomeric channel.
CLP290 is an orally available activator of the neuron-specific K+-Cl? cotransporter KCC2, displays potential for treatment of a wide range of neurological and psychiatric indications.
P-1075 is a potent activator of sulfonylurea receptor 2-associated ATP-sensitive potassium channels (SUR2-KIR6), with an EC50 value of 45 nM for SUR2B-KIR6 channel activation.
RPR-260243 is a novel activator of HERG; modifies HERG currents inhibited by dofetilide (IC50 = 58 nM); little effect on HERG current amplitude and no significant effects on steady-state activation parameters or on channel inactivation processes.
Periplocin is a cardiotonic steroid isolated from Periploca forrestii. Periplocin promotes tumor cell apoptosis and inhibits tumor growth. Periplocin has the potential to facilitate wound healing through the activation of Src/ERK and PI3K/Akt pathways mediated by Na/K-ATPase.
NS5806, a potent potassium current activator, increases KV4.3/KChIP2 peak current amplitudes with an EC50 of 5.3 μM. NS5806 slows KV4.3 and KV4.2 current dacay in channel complexes containing KChIP2.
