VU6036720 (VU 6036720) is the first potent, selective inhibitor of heteromeric Kir4.1/Kir5.1 (KCNJ10/KCNJ16) with IC50 of 0.24 uM.VU6036720 displays >30-fold selective for Kir4.1/5.1 over homomeric Kir4.1 channels, Kir1.1, Kir2.1, Kir2.2, Kir2.3, Kir4.2, Kir6.2/SUR1, Kir6.1/SUR2b and Kir7.1.VU6036720 inhibits Kir4.1/5.1 activity through a reduction of channel open-state probability and single-channel current amplitude, does not induce diuresis in vivo.VU6036720 showwd an IC50 in 3 uM in Tl+ flux assays, approximately 7-times more potent at inhibiting Kir4.1/5.1 than fluoxetine and amitriptyline.VU6036720 represents the current state-of-the-art Kir4.1/5.1 inhibitor that should be useful for probing the functions of Kir4.1/5.1 in vitro and ex vivo.

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, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C.
