Description: | ML 297 (VU 0456810) is a potent and selective GIRK1/2 activator, with an EC50 of 0.16 μM. ML 297 is potential for the treatment of epilepsy[1][2]. |
Target: | ML 297 (VU 0456810) is a potent and selective GIRK1/2 activator, with an EC50 of 0.16 μM. ML 297 is potential for the treatment of epilepsy[1][2]. |
In Vivo: | ML297 (60 mg/kg; i.p.) shows a highly significant ability to both prevent convulsions and prevent fatality of the PTZ treatment[2]. Animal Model: 8-10 months old C57/BL6 male mice (approximately 30 g)[2] Dosage: 60 mg/kg Administration: Intraperitoneal injection Result: Most of the animals neither convulsions nor death. |
In Vitro: | ML 297 is completely inactive for GIRK2/3[1]. ML297 shows concentration-dependent efficacy in expressing GIRK1/2 cells and with an EC50 of 162 nM[2]. ML297 shows a complete inability to modulate the activity of HEK-293 cells expressing GIRK2 alone and GIRKGIRK2/3[2]. |
