| Targets |
Z944 targets T-type calcium channels (Cav3.x), specifically the Cav3.1, Cav3.2, and Cav3.3 isoforms. It is a state-dependent antagonist. By blocking these channels, it reduces calcium influx into neurons, modulating neuronal excitability and neurotransmitter release. Z944 is a selective T-type calcium channel blocker. It disrupts prepulse inhibition in both epileptic and non-epileptic rats.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In vitro, Z944 is a potent T-type calcium channel antagonist with IC₅₀ values of 50 to 160 nM for hCav3.1, hCav3.2, and hCav3.3. It exhibits 50- to 600-fold selectivity for Cav3.x channels over related ion channels. Its ability to inhibit T-type calcium currents has been characterized in patch-clamp electrophysiology studies using cells expressing the different Cav3 isoforms.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, Z944 delays the progression of seizures in the amygdala kindling model. It disrupts prepulse inhibition in both epileptic and non-epileptic rats. Z944 rescues impairments in crossmodal and visual recognition memory. It is an orally available T-type calcium channel antagonist that can slow the progression of epilepsy. It effectively reduces tremor in a normal alkaline tremor animal model.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
The activity of Z944 can be assessed using electrophysiological techniques, specifically patch-clamp electrophysiology. Cells expressing human Cav3.1, Cav3.2, or Cav3.3 channels are treated with varying concentrations of Z944. The T-type calcium currents are recorded, and the IC₅₀ for channel blockade is determined from dose-response curves. Selectivity over other ion channels is assessed using similar assays.
|
| Cell Assay |
To evaluate the cellular effects of Z944, neurons or cells expressing T-type calcium channels are treated with the compound. The inhibition of calcium influx and its effects on neuronal excitability are measured using calcium imaging or electrophysiological recordings. The compound's effects on cell viability and neurotransmitter release can also be assessed.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo studies with Z944 typically involve administration to animal models via oral routes. In models of epilepsy (e.g., amygdala kindling model), the compound's effects on seizure progression are assessed. In models of tremor, its effects on tremor severity are evaluated. Its effects on cognitive function are assessed using behavioral tests such as prepulse inhibition and recognition memory tasks.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Z944 has a molecular formula of C₁₉H₂₇ClFN₃O₂ and a molecular weight of 383.89 g/mol. Its CAS number is 1199236-64-0. It is an orally bioavailable compound. The purity is typically ≥98%. It should be stored according to the manufacturer's instructions.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Specific toxicology data for Z944 are not extensively detailed in the available literature. However, its use in animal models at effective doses suggests a degree of tolerability. As with all research compounds, standard safety precautions should be taken when handling Z944. It is intended for research use only and is not for human consumption.

Note: Listed below are some common formulations that may be used to formulate products with low water solubility (e.g. < 1 mg/mL), you may test these formulations using a minute amount of products to avoid loss of samples.
Injection Formulations
Injection Formulation 1: DMSO : Tween 80: Saline = 10 : 5 : 85 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO stock solution → 50 μL Tween 80 → 850 μL Saline)(e.g. IP/IV/IM/SC) *Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH ₂ O to obtain a clear solution.
