Arrhythmia Research

An arrhythmia (also known as cardiac dysrhythmia) is defined as an irregular heartbeat, and results from abnormal electrical activity in the heart. There are various different types of arrhythmia, often resulting in a heartbeat that is too fast (tachycardia) or too slow (bradycardia). Atrial and ventricular fibrillation, which are the most common cardiac arrhythmias, account for 10-20% of all deaths among adults in the Western world. The incidence of atrial fibrillation increases with age; it not only affects cardiac function, but also increases the risk of stroke and may worsen heart failure.

Cat.No. Product Name Information/Activity
BCC6307 NS 6180 NS6180 is a novel potent and selective KCa3.1 channel inhibitor(IC50= 9 nM) prevents T-cell activation and inflammation.
BCC7235 Paxilline Paxilline is an indole alkaloid mycotoxin from Penicillium paxilli, acts as a potent BK channels inhibitor by an almost exclusively closed-channel block mechanism. Paxilline also inhibits the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase (SERCA) with IC50s between 5 μM and 50 μM for differing isoforms. Paxilline possesses significant anticonvulsant activity.
BCC1122 TRAM-34 TRAM-34 is a highly selective blocker of intermediate-conductance calcium-activated K+ channel (IKCa1) (Kd=20 nM).
BCC8038 TRAM 39 Potent K<sub>Ca</sub>3.1 blocker
BCC7016 UCL 1684 199934-16-2
BCC7446 UCL 2077 UCL 2077 is a selective slow-afterhyperpolarization (sAHP) channel blocker (IC50 = 500 nM in hippocampal neurons in culture), having minimal effects on Ca2+ channels, action potentials, input resistance and the medium after hyperpolarization. UCL 2077 is also a subtype-selective blocker of the epilepsy associated KCNQ channels.
BCC7038 Cromakalim 94470-67-4
BCC6868 Diazoxide Diazoxide (Sch-6783) is an ATP-sensitive potassium channel activator, has the potential for hyperinsulinism treatment.
BCC7039 Levcromakalim Levcromakalim ((-)-Cromakalim) is an ATP-sensitive K+ channel (KATP) activator.
BCC4297 Minoxidil Minoxidil (U10858) is an ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channel opener, a potent oral antihypertensive agent and a peripheral vasodilator that promotes vasodilation also affects hair growth. Minoxidil is also a potent inhibitor of soybean lipoxygenaseare with an IC50 of 20 μM.
