Tetramisole is an orally active, selective inward rectifier potassium channel agonist with an EC50 of approximately 30 μM for the Kir2.1 subunit. Tetramisole is also an anti-nematode agent that blocks neuromuscular transmission by non-competitive depolarization. Tetramisole promotes the forward transport of Kir2.1 channels, hyperpolarizes the resting potential (RP), shortens the action potential duration (APD), inhibits intracellular calcium overload and the PKA signaling pathway, and exerts anti-arrhythmic and anti-myocardial remodeling activities. Tetramisole can be used in cardiac electrophysiology research and research related to myocardial ischemia and heart failure.

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. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.
