| 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.

| Additional Infomation |
R-L3 is a benzodiazepine drug.
This is a research-grade IKs activator, not an approved drug. It is a benzodiazepine derivative and the (R)-enantiomer of L-364,373. It is used to study cardiac repolarization, long QT syndrome, and potential antiarrhythmic therapies. Also known as R-L3. |

| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.29 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween-80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), Clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL of PEG300 and mix well; then add 50 μL of Tween-80 and mix well; finally add 450 μL of physiological saline and adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 2: 2.5 mg/mL (6.29 mM) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), Clear solution; with ultrasonication. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL of corn oil and mix well.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
