Background and Purpose The protein PIEZO1 forms mechanically activated, calcium‐permeable, non‐selective cation channels in numerous cell types from several species. Options for pharmacological modulation are limited so we modified a small‐molecule agonist at (Yoda1) to increase the ability modulate these channels. Experimental Approach Medicinal chemistry generated Yoda1 analogues that were tested intracellular calcium patch‐clamp assays on cultured cells exogenously expressing human or...
