| Targets |
L-364,373 targets the voltage-gated Kv7.1 (KCNQ1)/mink potassium channels. It activates the slow-activating delayed rectifier potassium current (IKs), shortening the action potential duration (APD) in cardiac myocytes and inhibiting early afterdepolarizations (EADs).
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In guinea pig cardiac myocytes, L-364,373 (0.1-10 uM) activates IKs in a concentration-dependent manner, shortening the APD and inhibiting EADs induced by IKr blockers (e.g., dofetilide). It has no significant effect on other cardiac ion channels (e.g., INa, ICaL, IKr) at therapeutic concentrations.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo in guinea pigs, intravenous administration of L-364,373 (0.1-1 mg/kg) shortens the QT interval and reduces the incidence of torsade de pointes arrhythmias induced by IKr blockers. It shows promising antiarrhythmic activity in models of long QT syndrome by enhancing repolarization reserve.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
This cell-free binding/activation assay is performed using HEK293 cells stably expressing human Kv7.1 (KCNQ1)/mink channels. Membranes are prepared and the compound is incubated with 3H-dofetilide or 3H-L-364,373 (1-100 nM) and varying concentrations of unlabeled L-364,373 (1 nM - 100 uM) in binding buffer at room temperature. For functional assays, the thallium flux assay or electrophysiological measurement is used to assess channel activation.
|
| Cell Assay |
HEK293 cells expressing human Kv7.1/mink channels are seeded in 96-well plates and incubated with the thallium-sensitive fluorescent dye. L-364,373 (1 nM - 100 uM) is added, and thallium influx is measured by fluorescence (Ex/Em 485/535 nm). Alternatively, whole-cell patch-clamp recordings are performed. Cells are voltage-clamped at -80 mV, and currents are measured during depolarizing steps to assess IKs activation.
|
| Animal Protocol |
Guinea pigs (or rabbits) are anesthetized, and L-364,373 is administered intravenously at 0.01-1 mg/kg. ECG is recorded continuously. After baseline recording, an IKr blocker (e.g., dofetilide, 0.1 mg/kg) is administered to prolong QT interval. L-364,373 is then administered. The QT interval is measured. Induction of torsade de pointes arrhythmias is monitored. Blood samples are collected for plasma drug concentration measurement.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Detailed pharmacokinetic data for L-364,373 are limited. Molecular weight: 397.44; formula: C25H20FN3O. Solubility: DMSO (<39.74 mg/mL). Storage: powder at -20degC for 3 years; in solvent at -80degC for 1 year. For in vivo studies, formulation in DMSO:PEG300:Tween80:saline is recommended.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Standard safety precautions for research chemicals apply. L-364,373 is for research use only, not for human therapy. Avoid inhalation, ingestion, and skin contact. Use personal protective equipment and work in a well-ventilated area. Cardiac safety should be considered.
