IC50: 300 nM (MLCK)[1]
ML-7 targets myosin light chain kinase (MLCK), a calcium/calmodulin-dependent kinase that phosphorylates the regulatory light chain of myosin II. It has a Ki value of 0.3 µM and an IC₅₀ of 300 nM. It shows >10 µM IC₅₀ for the TRPC6 channel. By inhibiting MLCK, it prevents myosin light chain phosphorylation, reducing smooth muscle contraction and cell migration. |

| ln Vitro |
ML-7 hydrochloride inhibits rabbit portal vein α1-adrenoceptor NSCC with IC50 of 0.8 μM[1]. The myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) inhibitor ML-7 hydrochloride (3 μ M and 10 μM) also attenuates the Dexmedetomidine (DMT)-induced contraction (p<0.05 versus control)[2].
ML-7 (10 μM) applied externally to HEK293 cells expressing TRPC6 rapidly and reversibly inhibited the TRPC6 current, with a slightly weaker efficacy compared to ML-9. [1] In inside-out patch configuration, bath application of ML-7 (10 μM) rapidly diminished single TRPC6 channel activity (~35 pS). [1] On TRPC7 channels expressed in HEK293 cells, external application of ML-7 (10 and 100 μM) caused a rapid and reversible enhancement of both basal and CCh-induced currents, rather than inhibition. This enhancing effect was not prevented by intracellular application of MLCK inhibitory peptide MLCK-IP480-501 (1 μM). [1] In vitro, ML-7 is a potent MLCK inhibitor with a Ki of 0.3 µM and an IC₅₀ of 300 nM. It inhibits superoxide anion release in human neutrophils. It can affect the activity of neutrophils independently of myosin light chain kinase. It has been shown to protect cardiac function from ischemia/reperfusion injury. |
| ln Vivo |
In sham operated animals Evans Blue extravasation is not different between ML-7 hydrochloride and vehicle group (sham+vehicle: 0.26±0.02 OD/g; sham+ML-7: 0.26±0.02 OD/g). After CCI inhibition of MLCK with ML-7 results in a significant lower amount of intracerebral Evans Blue compared to vehicle treated animals (CCI+vehicle: 0.42±0.04 OD/g; CCI+ML-7: 0.35±0.05 OD/g, p=0.048)[3].
In vivo, ML-7 has been shown to protect cardiac function from ischemia/reperfusion injury. By inhibiting MLCK, it may reduce smooth muscle contraction and modulate cellular functions. However, specific in vivo efficacy data in animal models are not extensively detailed in the available literature. |
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro MLCK kinase assays for ML-7 are performed using purified recombinant MLCK enzyme. The kinase is incubated with myosin light chain protein and ATP in the presence of varying concentrations of ML-7. Phosphorylation is detected using a luminescence-based or fluorescence-based assay. IC₅₀ or Ki values are calculated from dose-response curves.

| Cell Assay |
For whole-cell recording of TRPC6/TRPC7 currents: HEK293 cells were transfected with TRPC6 or TRPC7 cDNA and CD8 marker. Nystatin-perforated or conventional whole-cell patch-clamp was used at a holding potential of -60 mV. ML-7 was dissolved in DMSO and diluted to final concentrations (1, 10, 100 μM) in external solution. Rapid drug application was achieved using a Y-tube solution changer. Currents were activated by carbachol (CCh, 100 μM) or 1-oleoyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol (OAG, 100 μM). The extent of inhibition or enhancement was calculated as the ratio of current amplitude 5 s after drug application to that just before application. [1]
For single-channel recording: Inside-out patch configuration was used. Pipette solution contained CCh (100 μM) to activate TRPC6 channels. Bath solution was a Cs-aspartate based solution. ML-7 (10 μM) was applied to the bath via Y-tube. Single-channel currents were low-pass filtered at 1 kHz and digitized at 10 kHz. Unitary conductance was ~33.4 pS. The mean current over 2 s was measured 5 s after drug application and compared to that before application. [1] In vitro cell-based assays for ML-7 are performed using smooth muscle cells or other cell types expressing MLCK. Cells are cultured in appropriate media and treated with ML-7 at various concentrations. Myosin light chain phosphorylation is assessed by Western blot. Cell contraction is measured using collagen gel contraction assays. Cell migration is assessed using scratch wound healing or transwell migration assays. |
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal studies for ML-7 would typically involve rodent models of ischemia/reperfusion injury. The compound is administered intraperitoneally or intravenously. Cardiac function is assessed by echocardiography or hemodynamic measurements. Infarct size is measured by TTC staining.

| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Specific pharmacokinetic properties of ML-7, such as half-life and oral bioavailability, are not extensively detailed in the available literature. It is soluble in DMSO and is typically formulated for in vivo administration.

| Additional Infomation |
ML-7 is an N-sulfonyldiazacycloheptane formed by the condensation of 5-iodo-1-naphthalenesulfonic acid with one nitrogen atom of 1,4-diazacycloheptane. It is a selective inhibitor of myosin light chain kinase (EC 2.7.11.18). It is an organoiodine compound and also an N-sulfonyldiazacycloheptane.
ML-7 is a naphthalene sulphonamide derivative (1-(5-iodonaphthalene-1-sulphonyl)homopiperazine, HCl) structurally related to ML-9. It is known as an inhibitor of myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) with an in vitro IC50 of 300 nM (cited from Saitoh et al., 1987, not from this study). However, the present study demonstrates that ML-7 exerts rapid, MLCK-independent effects on TRPC6 (inhibition) and TRPC7 (enhancement) channels, indicating that its actions on ion channels may be nonspecific and not solely due to MLCK inhibition. [1] ML-7 is a potent and selective MLCK inhibitor. It is also known as ML7. It has a Ki of 0.3 µM. It protects cardiac function from ischemia/reperfusion injury. This product is for research use only. |
