Product Data
Biological target:
IK1 inhibitor PA-6 (PA-6), a pentamidine analogue, is a selective and potent IK1 (KIR2.x ion-channel-carried inward rectifier current) inhibitor, with IC50 values of 12-15 nM for human and mouse KIR2.x currents.
In vitro activity:
This study analysed seven pentamidine analogues (PA-1 to PA-7) for IK₁ blocking potency at 200 nM using inside-out patches from KIR2.1 expressing HEK-293 cells. PA-6 showed the highest potency and was tested further. PA-6 blocked KIR2.x currents of human and mouse with low IC₅₀ values (12-15 nM). Modelling indicated that PA-6 had less electrostatic but more lipophilic interactions with the cytoplasmic channel pore than P, resulting in a higher channel affinity for PA-6 (ΔG -44.1 kJ/Mol) than for P (ΔG -31.7 kJ/Mol). Reference: Cardiovasc Res. 2013 Jul 1;99(1):203-14. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23625347/
In vivo activity:
PA-6 was applied i.v. in anaesthetized goats with rapid pacing-induced AF and anaesthetized dogs with chronic atrio-ventricular (AV) block. PA-6 (2.5 mg·kg-1 ·10 min-1 ) induced cardioversion to sinus rhythm (SR) in 5/6 goats and prolonged AF cycle length. AF complexity decreased significantly before cardioversion. PA-6 accumulated in cardiac tissue with ratios between skeletal muscle : atrial muscle : ventricular muscle of approximately 1:8:21.
