Product Data
Biological target:
Drofenine hydrochloride is a potent competitive inhibitor of BChE, and the ki values of Drofenine is calculated to be 3 uM.
In vitro activity:
Drofenine exhibited similar potency to the known TRPV3 agonists 2-aminoethoxydiphenylboronate (2-APB) and carvacrol in HEK-293 cells, but greater selectivity for TRPV3 based on a lack of activation of TRPA1, V1, V2, V4, or M8. Reference: Pharmacol Res Perspect. 2014 Oct;2(5):e00062. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25089200/
In vivo activity:
This study reports that antispasmodic drug drofenine (Dfe) blocks Kv2.1 and ameliorates DPN-like pathology in diabetic mice. The underlying mechanisms are investigated against the DPN mice with in vivo Kv2.1 knockdown through adeno associated virus AAV9-Kv2.1-RNAi. Streptozotocin (STZ) induced type 1 or db/db type 2 diabetic mice with DPN exhibited a high level of Kv2.1 protein in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) tissue and a suppressed neurite outgrowth in DRG neuron.
