Selective blocker of NaV5 channels (IC50 = 348 nM); displays no effect on other isoforms, including NaV2, NaV4, NaV6 and NaV7. Thought to inhibit sodium channel activation by binding to the NaV5 S3-S4 linker of domain II. Selectively inhibits the activation of cardiac sodium channels, but has no effect on sodium channels in dorsal root ganglion neurons. | [Uses]
Jingzhaotoxin-III is a potent and selective blocker of Nav1.5 channels, with an IC50 of 348 nM, and shows no effect on other sodium channel isoforms. Jingzhaotoxin-III can selectively inhibit the activation of cardiac sodium channel but not neuronal subtypes, and hopefully represents an important ligand for discriminating cardiac VGSC subtype[1][2]. | [storage]
