Description:

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

Danegaptide, also known as GAP-134 and ZP1609, is an orally active small molecule gap-junction modifier for the treatment of atrial fibrillation. Danegaptide mproves conduction and reduces atrial fibrillation/flutter in the canine sterile pericarditis model. Danegaptide prevents spontaneous ventricular arrhythmias and reduces infarct size during myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury in open-chest dogs.

Product Data
Biological target:
Danegaptide Hydrochloride (GAP-134 Hydrochloride, ZP1609 Hydrochloride) is a potent, selective and orally active gap-junction modifier with an antiarrhythmic effect.
In vitro activity:
The effects of ZP1609 on the function of murine sub-sarcolemmal mitochondria (SSM, containing Cx43) and interfibrillar mitochondria (IFM, lacking Cx43) were studied. Murine isolated cardiomyocytes were subjected to simulated I/R without and with ZP1609 (applied during I/R or at the onset of reperfusion only). ZP1609 inhibited ADP-stimulated respiration and ATP production in SSM and IFM. Potassium uptake was also enhanced in IFM. The number of rod-shaped cardiomyocytes was increased by ZP1609 (10 μM) when administered either during I/R or reperfusion. ZP1609 altered the phosphorylation of proteins contributing to the protection against I/R injury. The protective effect was independent of mitochondrial Cx43, as ZP1609 exerts its effects in Cx43-containing SSM and Cx43-lacking IFM. Reference: Br J Pharmacol. 2017 Jul;174(13):2060-2073. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28369703/
In vivo activity:
To investigate whether danegaptide could be protective in stroke, mice were therapeutically treated with the drug under an ischemia/reperfusion stroke model tMCAO. After 50 min of ischemia, saline or 75 µg/kg of danegaptide was administered via tail vein injection. After 60 min of ischemia, reperfusion was introduced and mice were treated with subsequent danegaptide at 1, 2 and 3 h after the initial injection. A significant (p = 0.0018) 42.2% reduction in infarct volume was measured in those mice treated with danegaptide, compared to controls (Figure 4). It is shown here that administration of danegaptide during tMCAO is neuroprotective. Reference: Biomolecules. 2020 Mar; 10(3): 353. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7175267/
