ASIC1a inhibitor 5b

ASIC1a inhibitor 5b is a highly selective and potent ASIC1a inhibitor, inhibits proton-evoked ASIC1a currents with an apparent IC50 of 27 nM at pH 6.7.ASIC1a inhibitor 5b can potently and selectively inhibit acid-induced activation of ASIC1a-containing channels, including both ASIC1a homotrimers and ASIC1a-ASIC2 heterotrimers, in a pH-dependent manner.ASIC1a inhibitor 5b binds to the acidic pocket of ASIC1a, exhibits a dramatic leftward shift under pH 6.7 activation of ASIC1a as compared to pH 6.0.ASIC1a inhibitor 5b protected neurons from ASIC1a-dependent cell death and is blood-brain barrier permeable.ASIC1a inhibitor 5b (5 mg/kg) attenuated neurological impairment and alleviated infarct volume in mouse MCAO model of ischemic stroke.
