PHENOLPHTHALEIN DIPHOSPHATE TETRASODIUM Chemische Eigenschaften,Einsatz,Produktion Methoden
Beschreibung
Psora 4 is an inhibitor of voltage-gated potassium channels (K
v1.3; EC
50 = 3 nM). It is selective for K
v1.3 over K
v1.1, K
v1.2, K
v1.4, K
v1.7, and K
v3.1 channels (EC
50s = 62, 49, 202, 100, and 1,500 nM, respectively) but does inhibit the K
v1.5 channel (EC
50 = 7.7 nM). Psora 4 selectively binds to the C-type inactivated state of the K
v1.3 channel and inhibits potassium current in a use-dependent manner. It has immunosuppressive activity, inhibiting proliferation of human and rat myelin-specific effector memory T cells
in vitro (TEM cells; EC
50s = 25 and 60 nM, respectively).
Verwenden
Psora-4 is the most potent small-molecule Kv1.3 blocker known. Psora-4 and other Kv1.3 blockers may be useful as immunomodulators for the therapy of autoimmune disorders.
Biochem/physiol Actions
The lymphocyte potassium channel Kv1.3 is regarded as a new target for immunosuppression. Psora-4 is the most potent small-molecule Kv1.3 blocker known. It blocked Kv1.3 in a use-dependent manner, with a Hill coefficient of 2 and an EC50 value of 3 nM, by preferentially binding to the C-type inactivated state of the channel. It exhibited 17- to 70-fold selectivity for Kv1.3 over closely related Kv1-family channels (Kv1.1, Kv1.2, Kv1.4, and Kv1.7) with the exception of Kv1.5 (EC50, 7.7 nM) and showed no effect on human ether-a-go-go-related channel, Kv3.1, the calcium-activated K+ channels (IKCa1, SK1-SK3, and BKCa), or the neuronal NaV1.2 channel. In a test of in vivo toxicity in rats, Psora-4 did not display any signs of acute toxicity after five daily subcutaneous injections at 33 mg/kg body weight. Psora-4 selectively suppressed the proliferation of human and rat myelin-specific effector memory T cells with EC50 values of 25 and 60 nM, respectively, without persistently suppressing peripheral blood naive and central memory T cells. Because autoantigen-specific effector memory T cells contribute to the pathogenesis of T cell-mediated autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis, Psora-4 and other Kv1.3 blockers may be useful as immunomodulators for the therapy of autoimmune disord.
