| Targets |
VU0405601 targets the human Ether-à-go-go-Related Gene (hERG) encoded Kv11.1 potassium channel. As a hERG agonist and positive allosteric modulator, it enhances hERG channel activity. It increases the IC50 of dofetilide from 38.7 to 76.3 nM and mitigates the effects of hERG blockers primarily by reducing inactivation.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
Thirty minutes before administering 100 nm dofetilide, VU0405601 (5 µM) shields cardiac tissue from the ventricular tachycardia caused by dofetilide [2]. As a hERG agonist, VU0405601 (50 µM) raises test pulse and tail currents, which raises dofetilide's IC50 value from 38.7 nm to 76.3 nm [2].
In vitro, VU0405601 is a potent Kv11.1 (hERG) channel activator. At 5 µM (pretreated for 30 min before 100 nM dofetilide), it protects cardiac tissue from dofetilide-induced ventricular tachycardia. It increases the IC50 of dofetilide from 38.7 to 76.3 nM. |
| ln Vivo |
In vivo activity data for VU0405601 are limited in the available literature. As a hERG agonist, it has been reported to protect cardiac tissue from dofetilide-induced ventricular tachycardia. Its ability to reduce the sensitivity of hERG to inhibitors suggests potential for preventing drug-induced arrhythmias.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro channel binding/activation assays for VU0405601 are performed using cells expressing hERG channels. Channel activity is measured using electrophysiological techniques such as patch-clamp recordings. The compound is applied to cells, and the enhancement of hERG current amplitude is measured. The EC50 for channel activation is calculated from concentration-response curves.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cellular assays for VU0405601 are performed using cells expressing hERG channels or cardiac tissue preparations. Cells are treated with the compound, and hERG channel activity is measured using electrophysiological techniques. The compound's ability to protect against hERG blocker-induced current reduction is assessed by co-application with inhibitors such as dofetilide.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal experiments for VU0405601 are conducted in animal models of drug-induced arrhythmias. A typical protocol involves administration of the compound prior to challenge with a hERG-blocking agent such as dofetilide. Cardiac function is monitored by electrocardiography (ECG) to assess protection against ventricular tachycardia and other arrhythmias.
|
