Description:
EC18 HCN inhibitor is a HCN channel inhibitor. EC18 acts as a potent HCN4 inhibitor in a human iPSC-derived sinus node model with proven HCN4 expression. EC18 is an attractive pharmacological tool, enabling HCN channel-modulation studies with some specificity for HCN4 (EC50 [HCN4] = 3.98 ± 1.16 µM) over HCN1 (EC50 = 21.00 ± 3.98 µM) and HCN2 (EC50 = 19.35 ± 4.48 µM). EC18 abolishes HCN4 triggered pace making in a human iPSC (hiPSC) pacemaker model.
Handling:
Providing storage is as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to 24 months.
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance,
