Therefore, these compounds are often referred to as “potassium channel blockers.” To understand this mechanism of these compounds, the following provides a brief review of cardiac action potential generation. In non-nodal cardiac tissue, such as ventricular cardiomyocytes (see figure; click here ...
A set of 242 compounds with diverse molecular structures and having different mechanisms of therapeutic actions was used to develop classification and regression based QSAR models for the identification of potential hERG channel blockers. The developed in silico models made it possible to obtain a ...
Medications targeting the TREK-1 channel, such as spadin, have shown promising therapeutic effects in patients with depression [115]. Potassium channels play a crucial role in regulating immobility time in the forced swim test in mice. Blockers of potassium channels, such as TEA and charybdo...

The true innovation has been the introduction of the of H+,K+-ATPase blockers, called Potassium-Competitive Acid Blockers (P-CABs) [17,18,19], which share the same target as the PPIs (i.e. the gastric proton pump) but inhibit it through a completely different molecular mechanism. They...
The changes in the height of the selectivity filter in the S631A mutant channel compared to low-K HERG channels (Fig. 5) could provide a clue to the origin of voltage sensitivity, as these changes could alter the local electric field strength. Investigation of the voltage-sensitivity of ...
channel blockers (Vervaeke et al., 2006b). This suggests the counterintuitive finding that a Kvconductance enhances transmitter release. Modeling these axonal channels suggests that M-current activation by depolarization decreases sodium channel inactivation, leading to the strengthening of neurotransmission...
The vasorelaxing effect caused by F1 was significantly attenuated with preincubation of potassium channel blockers (glibenclamide and 4-aminopyridine) and prostacyclin inhibitor (indomethacin) while it was not affected by preincubation with tetraethylammonium, l-nitro-arginine methyl esther, propanolol, ...
3.1.2Potassium channel blockers Demyelinationleads to the exposure of para- and internodal neuronal K+channels leading to enhanced K+outward current, slowing of action potential conduction or conduction failure (Dunn & Blight, 2011). Consequently, K+channel blockersare used to alleviate ...
