چکیده

All therapeutically used sodium channel inhibitor drugs seem to act similarly: in a use-dependent and state-dependent manner. These properties, however, can be caused by multiple mechanisms, as we and others have previously shown [1]. The two major hypotheses that explain use-and state-dependent inhibition are the MRH [2] and the GRH [3]. In this study we investigated which hypothesis better describes inhibition by various drugs, and whether drugs can be classified based on this aspect of their mechanism of action. We assumed that the two hypotheses are not mutually exclusive, and speculated that both altered affinity (as predicted by the MRH) and altered accessibility (as predicted by the GRH) to the inactivated state can be expressed as changes in association and dissociation rates upon conformational transition. We developed a method to test the relative contribution of affinity and accessibility in the effect of the drugs based on the degree of inhibition (reflecting affinity) and the time constant of the onset of inhibition (reflecting accessibility) as a function of changes in the voltage protocol. We tested the method by simulations and found that original parameters of a simulated drug can be deduced using the method. Experiments using 12 fast-inactivated state-preferring use-dependent sodium channel inhibitors suggest significant differences in this aspect of the mechanism. The mechanism of activity-dependent sodium channel inhibition by the antidepressants fluoxetine and desipramine. Local anesthetics: hydrophilic and hydrophobic pathways for the drug-receptor reaction. Mechanisms of use-dependent block of sodium channels in excitable membranes by local anesthetics.

A 41 Exploring the heterogeneity of use - dependent sodium channel inhibitor drugs . I : Fast - vs . slow - inactivated state preference

Certain drugs evidently exert their therapeutic effects via sodium channel inhibition: local anesthetics, class I antiarrhytmics and certain anticonvulsants. Novel sodium channel inhibitor compounds are actively investigated for other indications involving stroke, ischemia, various neurodegenerative conditions and pain syndroms. All these drugs cause voltage-and use-dependent inhibition of sodi...

P 134: Use of Zinc in Drugs to Improve Neuroinflammation Disease

Zinc is a substance that regulates neural excitability by binding whit sodium channel and potassium channel. The efficiency of free zinc ion, make down the neural survival rate, reduced the peak amplitude of Na+ and make depolarization Na channel, increased the peak amplitude of transition outward k+ currents and delayed rectifier. Also it is an effective blocker of one subtype of tetrodoxine (...

Calixmexitil: Calixarene-based Cluster of Mexiletine with Amplified Anti-myotonic Activity as A Novel Use-dependent Sodium Channel Blocker

Mexiletine as the first choice drug in myotonia treatment is a chiral sodium channel blocker clinically used in its racemic form. The phenolic structure of this drug, prompted us to design its novel calix[4]arene-based cluster in a chalice-shaped structure. Therefore, the present study reports the synthesis and in-vitro anti-myotonic activity of the chalice-shaped cluster of mexiletine...

The mechanism of activity-dependent sodium channel inhibition by the antidepressants fluoxetine and desipramine.

The effect of monoamine uptake inhibitor-type antidepressants on sodium channels of hippocampal neurons was investigated. Members of the tricyclic group of antidepressants are known to modify multiple targets, including sodium channels, whereas selective serotonin-reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are regarded as highly selective compounds, and their effect on sodium channels was not investigated in ...
