GV-58 is a pupin analog that acts as a novel, potent and selective agonist of N- and P/Q-type Ca2+ channels with EC50 of 7.21/8.81 uM for N-type/P-Q-type Ca2+ channel. It has the potential to be used for treating neuromuscular weakness.
| Targets |
N-type (Cav2.2) calcium channels (EC50 = 7.21 ± 0.86 µM)
P/Q-type (Cav2.1) calcium channels (EC50 = 8.81 ± 1.07 µM) Cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (Cdk1) (IC50 >20 µM) Cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (Cdk2) (IC50 = 3.29 ± 0.43 µM) Cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (Cdk5) (IC50 = 3.03 ± 0.32 µM) No agonist activity on L-type (Cav1.3) calcium channels up to 100 µM. [1] |
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
The ability of LEMS to passively transfer neuromuscular junctions is restored by GV-58 (50 μM; 30 minutes) [1].
In whole-cell patch-clamp recordings using tsA-201 cells expressing N-type (Cav2.2) calcium channels, GV-58 increased the tail current integral by approximately 32-fold compared to control, with an EC50 of 7.21 ± 0.86 µM. [1] In tsA-201 cells expressing P/Q-type (Cav2.1) calcium channels, GV-58 increased the tail current integral by approximately 33-fold compared to control, with an EC50 of 8.81 ± 1.07 µM. [1] In a commercial kinase screen, GV-58 showed reduced inhibitory activity against Cdks compared to (R)-roscovitine, with IC50 values of >20 µM for Cdk1, 3.29 ± 0.43 µM for Cdk2, and 3.03 ± 0.32 µM for Cdk5. No significant inhibition of MAPK1 or MLCK was observed at concentrations up to 20 µM. [1] |
| ln Vivo |
In a passive transfer mouse model of Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS), application of 50 µM GV-58 to ex vivo neuromuscular junction (NMJ) preparations significantly increased endplate potential (EPP) amplitude from 13.00 ± 0.56 mV to 19.44 ± 0.98 mV, and quantal content (measured by peak) from 38.0 ± 12.8 to 56.0 ± 15.2. Quantal content measured by EPP area increased from 38.3 ± 12.7 to 65.6 ± 15.0. [1]
GV-58 (50 µM) significantly increased the frequency of miniature endplate potentials (mEPPs) from 3.27 ± 0.15 s⁻¹ to 10.45 ± 0.64 s⁻¹, but did not significantly change mEPP amplitude. [1] GV-58 (50 µM) partially restored short-term plasticity characteristics during a 50 Hz stimulus train in LEMS model NMJs, changing the response from facilitation to a pattern more resembling depression. [1] The potent Cdk inhibitor olomoucine (50 µM) did not significantly increase transmitter release, indicating that the effects of GV-58 are due to Ca²⁺ channel agonism, not Cdk inhibition. [1] |
| Enzyme Assay |
A kinase screen was performed using a commercial service. The inhibitory activity of GV-58 and reference compounds was tested at three concentrations (0.2, 2, and 20 µM) against five kinases: Cdk1/cyclinB, Cdk2/cyclinA, Cdk5/p35, MAPK1, and MLCK. All assays were conducted in the presence of 10 µM ATP. IC50 values were determined from the resulting dose-response curves. [1]

Cell Viability Assay[1]
Cell Types: Upper arm muscle isolated from LEMS mice Tested Concentrations: 50 μM Incubation Duration: 30 minutes Experimental Results: mEPP frequency increased from 3.27 s−1 in vehicle control to 10.45 s−1. A slight boost was shown in the final EPP on the train, which subsequently dropped to 94%. Whole-cell perforated patch-clamp recordings were performed to assess calcium channel activity. Pipettes were filled with a solution containing Cs₂SO₄, CsCl, MgCl₂, and HEPES (pH 7.4). Cells were bathed in a saline containing choline chloride, TEA-Cl, CaCl₂, MgCl₂, and HEPES (pH 7.4). Pipette tips were dipped in antibiotic-free solution, then backfilled with solution containing amphotericin-B to achieve perforated patch access. Currents were recorded using an amplifier, filtered at 5 kHz, and digitized at 10 kHz. Tail current integrals were measured before and after compound application, with each trace normalized to its peak. Compounds were bath-applied from DMSO stock solutions. Control experiments with DMSO alone showed no significant effects. [1] |
| Animal Protocol |
A LEMS passive-transfer mouse model was established. Adult female CFW mice received an intraperitoneal injection of cyclophosphamide (300 mg/kg) on day 1 to suppress immune responses. For the next 24-30 consecutive days, mice received daily intraperitoneal injections of either 1.5 ml of serum from LEMS patients or 1.5 ml of control human serum. LEMS patient sera were screened for voltage-gated calcium channel antibodies and for their ability to reduce quantal content in mice. Serum from patient aBC2 was selected for consistent efficacy. [1]
For ex vivo electrophysiology, the epitrochleoanconeus (ETA) muscle with its nerve was dissected after the passive transfer protocol. The preparation was placed in a physiological saline bath. The nerve was stimulated via a suction electrode, and muscle contractions were blocked by μ-conotoxin GIIIB (1 µM). Intracellular recordings were made using microelectrodes filled with potassium acetate. Spontaneous mEPPs and nerve-evoked EPPs (single and 50 Hz trains) were recorded. [1] To test drug effects, baseline recordings were taken in vehicle (0.05–0.1% DMSO), followed by a 30-minute incubation in 50 µM GV-58 and subsequent recordings from the same NMJs. [1] |

| Additional Infomation |
GV-58 is a novel (R)-roscovitine analog developed through strategic medicinal chemical modification of the purine backbone, particularly benzylamine and isopropyl side chains, aimed at reducing cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk) antagonistic activity while enhancing calcium channel agonistic activity. [1] Its primary mechanism of action is as an agonist of presynaptic N-type and P/Q-type voltage-gated calcium channels, slowing channel deactivation mechanics, thereby increasing calcium influx during action potentials and enhancing neurotransmitter release at the synapse. [1] GV-58 has shown promising therapeutic potential in enhancing weakened neuromuscular synapses in Lambert-Eaton myasthenia gravis syndrome (LEMS) and represents a novel strategy for direct targeting of calcium channels, distinct from standard indirect therapy using potassium channel blockers such as 3,4-diaminopyridine. [1] It may also have the potential to treat other neuromuscular diseases characterized by presynaptic weakness, such as certain congenital myasthenia gravis syndromes. [1]
In addition to its therapeutic uses, GV-58 can also serve as an important experimental tool for studying the basic characteristics of P/Q and N-type calcium channels and the regulation of neurotransmitter release by calcium. [1] |
