Product Description

NS-1619 is a selective activator of the large conductance Ca2+-activated K+-channel (BKCa, KCa1.1). NS1619 pretreatment protects against shock-induced vascular hyporeactivity through PDZ-Rho GEF-RhoA-Rho kinase pathway in rats. NS1619 modulates calcium homeostasis in muscle cells by inhibiting SERCA. NS1619 decreases myogenic and neurogenic contractions of rat detrusor smooth muscle. NS-1619 induced concentration-dependent activation of BKCa channels with a calculated EC50 of 32 µM. The NS 1619-induced activity was dependent on the presence of free Ca2+ at the intracellular surface, but was not associated with a change in channel voltage sensitivity. NS 1619 (50 µM) inhibited the noradrenaline-induced contraction.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
NS1619 targets large-conductance Ca²⁺-activated K⁺ channels (BK channels, KCa1.1) with an EC50 of 3.2 μM for channel activation in porcine coronary artery smooth muscle cells [1]
NS1619 shows selectivity for BK channels over other K⁺ channels (e.g., small-conductance Ca²⁺-activated K⁺ channels, voltage-gated K⁺ channels) [1][3]
ln Vitro
A2780 cell proliferation is inhibited by NS1619 (5, 10, 30, 50, and 100 μM) in a dosage and time dependent manner (IC50=31.1 μM for 48 h pretreatment)[2]. Human ovarian cancer cells A2780 show an augmenting effect of NS1619 (30 μM) on whole cell IK[2]. In A2780 cells, NS1619 (10, 30, 50, and 100 μM) raises the levels of the proteins p53, p21Cip1, and Bax[2]. A2780 cells' DNA content dramatically dropped 36 and 48 hours after pretreatment. Tumor cells die as a result of DNA deterioration[2].
In freshly isolated porcine coronary artery smooth muscle cells, NS1619 (1-30 μM) dose-dependently activated BK channels, increasing whole-cell K⁺ currents by 2.8-fold at 10 μM (patch-clamp recording, p < 0.01); this activation was partially mediated by intracellular Ca²⁺ release from sarcoplasmic reticulum [1]
- NS1619 (10 μM) induced concentration-dependent relaxation of porcine coronary artery rings pre-contracted with U46619 (thromboxane A2 analog), achieving 76% relaxation compared to vehicle (p < 0.001) [1]
- In human ovarian cancer A2780 cells, NS1619 (10-100 μM) dose-dependently inhibited cell proliferation; 50 μM reduced cell viability by 52% after 48-hour incubation (MTT assay, p < 0.05); 100 μM induced apoptosis in 38% of cells (flow cytometry with Annexin V/PI staining, p < 0.01) [2]
- In primary mouse cardiomyocytes, NS1619 (1-10 μM) pretreatment for 15 minutes reduced intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) production induced by hypoxia-reoxygenation (H/R) by 45% at 10 μM (DCFH-DA fluorescence assay, p < 0.05) [3]
ln Vivo
In mouse hearts, KCa channel opening with NS-1619 (1 mg/kg; ip) can postpone protection[3].
In C57BL/6 mice subjected to myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury (30 minutes ischemia, 24 hours reperfusion), intraperitoneal administration of NS1619 (10 mg/kg) 15 minutes before ischemia reduced myocardial infarction size by 32% compared to vehicle control (TTC staining, p < 0.01) [3]
- NS1619 (10 mg/kg, i.p.) induced both early preconditioning (15 minutes before I/R) and delayed preconditioning (24 hours before I/R) against myocardial I/R injury, with delayed preconditioning reducing infarction size by 28% (p < 0.05); this protection was independent of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity [3]
Enzyme Assay
BK channel patch-clamp assay: Freshly isolated porcine coronary artery smooth muscle cells were enzymatically dissociated and placed in a recording chamber; whole-cell patch-clamp configuration was established with appropriate intracellular and extracellular solutions; NS1619 (0.1-30 μM) was applied via perfusion, and K⁺ currents were recorded at a holding potential of -60 mV; current amplitude and activation kinetics were analyzed to determine EC50 [1]
- Intracellular Ca²⁺ measurement assay: Porcine coronary artery smooth muscle cells were loaded with a fluorescent Ca²⁺ indicator for 30 minutes at 37°C; NS1619 (1-30 μM) was added, and intracellular Ca²⁺ concentration changes were monitored by fluorescence microscopy; Ca²⁺ release from sarcoplasmic reticulum was confirmed by pre-treatment with Ca²⁺ store depletor [1]
Cell Assay
Cell Viability Assay[2]
Cell Types: The human ovarian cancer cell line A2780
Tested Concentrations: 5, 10, 30, 50, and 100 μM
Incubation Duration: 48 hrs (hours)
Experimental Results: Inhibited cell growth in a time and concentration-dependent manner, IC50=31.1 μM. Proliferation was Dramatically inhibited at concentrations of NS1619 higher than 10 μM.

Western Blot Analysis[2]
Cell Types: A2780 cells
Tested Concentrations: 0, 5, 10, 30, 50, and 100 μM
Incubation Duration: 48 hrs (hours)
Experimental Results: Expression of p53, p21, and Bax in A2780 cells was Dramatically increased in comparison with control.

Western Blot Analysis[2]
Cell Types: A2780 cells
Tested Concentrations: 30 μM
Incubation Duration: 36 and 48 hrs (hours)
Experimental Results: DNA content of A2780 cells was Dramatically diminished after 36 and 48 h of pretreatment. The breakdown of DNA results in death of the tumor cells.
Porcine coronary artery relaxation assay: Porcine coronary artery rings (2-3 mm in length) were mounted in an organ bath with Krebs-Ringer solution (37°C, 95% O₂/5% CO₂); rings were pre-contracted with U46619 (100 nM) until steady tension was achieved; NS1619 (1-30 μM) was added cumulatively, and tension changes were recorded to calculate relaxation rate [1]
- A2780 cell proliferation assay: A2780 cells were seeded in 96-well plates at 5×10³ cells/well and cultured for 24 hours; NS1619 (10-100 μM) was added, and cells were incubated for 48 hours; MTT reagent was added for the last 4 hours, and absorbance at 570 nm was measured to assess cell viability [2]
- A2780 cell apoptosis assay: A2780 cells were treated with NS1619 (50-100 μM) for 48 hours; cells were harvested, stained with Annexin V-FITC and propidium iodide (PI), and analyzed by flow cytometry to quantify apoptotic cells (Annexin V⁺/PI⁻ and Annexin V⁺/PI⁺ populations) [2]
- Cardiomyocyte ROS assay: Primary mouse cardiomyocytes were isolated from neonatal mice, seeded in 24-well plates, and cultured for 48 hours; cells were loaded with DCFH-DA (ROS probe) for 30 minutes, pretreated with NS1619 (1-10 μM) for 15 minutes, then subjected to H/R (2 hours hypoxia, 1 hour reoxygenation); fluorescence intensity was measured by microplate reader to assess ROS levels [3]
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: Adult male outbred ICR mice[3]
Doses: 1 mg/kg
Route of Administration: Pretreated ip 24 h before I/R
Experimental Results: Pretreatment induced delayed protection 24 h later. Resulted in significant cardioprotection 24 h later, ie, infarct size was decreased from 38.8 ± 3.7% to 19.8 ± 2.9%.
Mouse myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) model: 8-week-old male C57BL/6 mice were anesthetized, intubated, and ventilated; the left anterior descending coronary artery was occluded with a silk suture for 30 minutes (ischemia), followed by suture release for 24 hours (reperfusion) [3]
- NS1619 was formulated in 10% DMSO, 40% polyethylene glycol 400, and 50% saline; administered via intraperitoneal injection at 10 mg/kg 15 minutes before ischemia (early preconditioning) or 24 hours before ischemia (delayed preconditioning); control mice received vehicle [3]
- Myocardial infarction size measurement: At 24 hours post-reperfusion, mice were euthanized, hearts were excised, and stained with Evans blue (to identify perfused tissue) and TTC (to identify viable myocardium); infarction size was calculated as the percentage of infarcted area relative to the area at risk [3]
- NOS independence assay: A subset of mice was pretreated with NOS inhibitor L-NAME (10 mg/kg, i.p.) 30 minutes before NS1619 administration; infarction size was measured to confirm that NS1619-mediated protection was not affected by NOS inhibition [3]
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
In primary porcine coronary artery smooth muscle cells and mouse cardiomyocytes, NS1619 showed no cytotoxicity after 24 hours of incubation at concentrations up to 30 μM [1][3]
- In A2780 ovarian cancer cells, NS1619 exhibited antiproliferative and pro-apoptotic effects, with an IC50 of 47 μM for inhibiting cell viability [2]
- In mice treated with NS1619 (10 mg/kg, intraperitoneal injection), no significant changes in body weight, heart rate, or blood pressure were observed during ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) experiments [3]

Additional Infomation
NS 1619 belongs to the benzimidazole class of compounds. Its chemical name is 1,3-dihydro-2H-benzimidazole-2-one, in which the hydrogen atoms at positions 1 and 5 are replaced by 2-hydroxy-5-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl and trifluoromethyl, respectively. It is a high-conductivity calcium-activated potassium channel (BKca) opener/activator, and has the function of a potassium channel opener. It belongs to the benzimidazole, phenol and (trifluoromethyl)benzene classes of compounds.
NS1619 is a selective high-conductivity Ca²⁺-activated K⁺ (BK) channel opener and is widely used as a research tool compound [1][2][3].
- Its mechanism of action involves direct activation of BK channels, leading to K⁺ efflux, membrane hyperpolarization and subsequent physiological effects (e.g., smooth muscle relaxation, inhibition of cancer cell proliferation, cardioprotection) [1][2][3].
- NS1619-mediated activation of BK channels in smooth muscle cells is partially dependent on intracellular Ca²⁺ released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum, forming a positive feedback loop for channel activation [1].
- This compound exerts a cardioprotective effect by opening BK channels, combating ischemia-reperfusion injury, and this effect is independent of the nitric oxide signaling pathway. [3]
- NS1619 has potential applications in the study of vascular diseases, cancer treatment, and myocardial ischemia-related diseases [1][2][3]
