Novel 3-cyanoisoquinoline Kv1.5 antagonists have been prepared and evaluated in vitro vivo assays for inhibition of the potassium channel its associated cardiac current, IKur. Structural modifications isoquinolinone lead 1 afforded compounds with excellent potency, selectivity, oral bioavailability.
In vitro phenotypic assays of sensory neuron activity are important tools for identifying potential analgesic compounds. These typically characterized by hyperexcitable and/or abnormally, spontaneously active cells. Whereas manual electrophysiology experiments provide high-resolution biophysical data to characterize both in models and therapeutic modalities (e.g., action characteristics, the role specific ion channels, receptors), these techniques hampered their low throughput. We have...
Drug discovery efforts have focused recently on atrial-selective targets, including the Kv1.5 channel, which underlies ultrarapid delayed rectifier current, I<sub>Kur</sub>, to develop novel treatments for atrial fibrillation (AF). Two structurally distinct compounds, a triarylethanolamine TAEA and an isoquinolinone 3-[(dimethylamino)-methyl]-6-methoxy-2-methyl-4-phenylisoquinolin-1(2<i>H</i>)-one (ISQ-1), blocked I<sub>Kur</sub> in Chinese hamster ovary cells expressing human with...
