Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

KB-130015 is an antiarrhythmic agent and a derivative of amiodarone. It inhibits potassium currents induced by acetylcholine or adenosine in isolated guinea pig atrial myocytes (IC50s = 0.82 and 0.57 µM, respectively). KB-130015 activates or inhibits the voltage-gated potassium channel human-ether-a-go-go (hERG), also known as Kv11.1, in HEK293 cells in a voltage-dependent manner. It activates large-conductance calcium-activated potassium (BKCa) channels in HEK293 cells expressing the BKCa subunit Slo1 (EC50 = 20.2 μM). KB-130015 (40 mg/kg) prolongs the duration of electrically stimulated action potentials in guinea pig papillary muscle ex vivo.1 It is also an antagonist of human thyroid hormone receptor α (TRα) and TRβ (IC50s = 2.2 and 4.1 µM, respectively, in reporter assays).

Product Data
Biological target:
KB130015 (KB015) is an orally active and potent ThRα and ThRβ (Thyroid Hormone Receptor) inhibitor, with IC50 values of 4.5 and 5.1 μM, respectively.
In vitro activity:
KB130015 and ibutilide in a concentration of 50 microM effectively inhibited the muscarinic potassium current. The effect was concentrationdependent and reversible. The half-maximum effective concentration was 0.8 microM (KB130015) and 2.8 microM (ibutilide). Reference: Med Klin (Munich). 2005 Nov 15;100(11):697-703. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16328176/
In vivo activity:
Using segments of porcine pulmonary arteries, KB130015 induced endothelium-independent vasorelaxation, half-maximal at 43 microM KB130015. Relaxation was inhibited by 1 mM tetraethylammonium, suggesting that KB130015 can activate vascular smooth muscle type BK(Ca) channels under physiological conditions.
