Product Description
PA-6 is a selective and potent IK1 (inward rectifier potassium current) inhibitor that terminates atrial fibrillation and does not cause ventricular arrhythmias in goat and dog models. PA-6 interacts with the cytoplasmic pore region of the KIR2.1 (KCNJ2) ion channel.
PA-6 (CAS#: 500715-03-7) is a selective and potent inhibitor of the inward rectifier potassium current (IK1), mediated by Kir2.x channels. It terminates atrial fibrillation and does not cause ventricular arrhythmias in goat and dog models. PA-6 is a valuable tool for studying arrhythmogenesis and the role of IK1 in cardiac electrophysiology.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
PA-6 targets the inward rectifier potassium current (IK1), which is mediated by Kir2.x potassium channels. By blocking IK1, PA-6 reduces the repolarization reserve of cardiac myocytes, making it a valuable tool for studying arrhythmogenesis. The compound's selective inhibition of IK1 without causing ventricular arrhythmias makes it a useful research tool for studying atrial fibrillation.
ln Vitro
In vitro, PA-6 acts as a selective and potent inhibitor of IK1. It blocks Kir2.x channels, reducing the inward rectifier potassium current in cardiac myocytes. The compound's activity is typically assessed in electrophysiological studies using patch-clamp techniques to measure IK1 inhibition in isolated cardiac myocytes or heterologous expression systems.
ln Vivo
In vivo, PA-6 terminates atrial fibrillation and does not cause ventricular arrhythmias in goat and dog models. This demonstrates its potential as a selective anti-arrhythmic agent for atrial fibrillation without the pro-arrhythmic risk associated with non-selective potassium channel blockers. The compound's efficacy in large animal models supports its utility for studying IK1 in cardiac arrhythmias.
Enzyme Assay
As a potassium channel inhibitor, PA-6 is not typically evaluated in cell-free receptor binding assays. Its activity is assessed by electrophysiological techniques measuring ion channel currents in cell-based systems. The compound's selectivity for Kir2.x channels over other potassium channels can be evaluated using patch-clamp recordings in cells expressing specific channel subtypes.
Cell Assay
In vitro cell-based experiments with PA-6 typically involve electrophysiological studies using the patch-clamp technique. Cells expressing Kir2.x channels (e.g., HEK293 cells transfected with Kir2.1) or isolated cardiac myocytes are used. The compound is applied at various concentrations, and the inhibition of IK1 current is measured. The IC50 for IK1 inhibition is determined from concentration-response curves.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal experiments with PA-6 have been conducted in goat and dog models. In typical protocols, atrial fibrillation is induced in the animals, and PA-6 is administered intravenously. Electrocardiograms are recorded to monitor the termination of atrial fibrillation and the absence of ventricular arrhythmias. The compound's effects on cardiac electrophysiology are assessed.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
No detailed pharmacokinetic data is publicly available for PA-6. As a research compound, its absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) properties have not been extensively characterized. The compound has a molecular formula of C31H32N4O2 and a molecular weight of 492.61.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
No specific toxicity data is publicly available for PA-6. In animal studies, the compound terminated atrial fibrillation without causing ventricular arrhythmias, suggesting a favorable cardiac safety profile. The compound is for research use only and is not intended for human therapeutic applications.
