Product details
- Chemical name: (1-[2-(6-Methyl-2-pyridyl)ethyl]-4-(4-methylsulfonyl-aminobenzoyl)piperidine).
- CAS number: 113559-13-0
- Molecular formula: C21H27N3O3S•2HCl•2H2O.
- Purity: >98%
- Concentration: 100 nM - 1 μM.
- Form: Lyophilized powder.
- Solubility: Any aqueous buffer. Centrifuge all product preparations before use (10000 x g 5 min).
- Reconstitution: Centrifuge the vial before adding solvent (10,000 x g for 5 minutes) to spin down all the powder to the bottom of the vial. The lyophilized product may be difficult to visualize. Add solvent directly to the centrifuged vial. Tap the vial to aid in dissolving the lyophilized product. Tilt and gently roll the liquid over the walls of the vial. Avoid vigorous vortexing. Light vortexing for up to 3 seconds is acceptable if needed. For long-term storage in solution, we recommend preparing a stock solution by dissolving the product in sterile water at a concentration of at least 0.1 mg/mL. Divide the stock solution into small aliquots and store at -20°C. Before use, thaw the relevant vial(s) and dilute to the desired working concentration in your working buffer. It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions in working buffers just before use. For long-term storage of diluted solutions, we recommend adding 0.1% BSA. Repeat freeze-thawing may result in loss of activity.
- Shipping: Shipped at room temperature. Product as supplied can be stored intact at room temperature for several weeks. For longer periods, it should be stored at -20°C.
- Target: KV11.1 K+ channels
- Source: Synthetic
- Activity: E-4031 is a methsnesulfonanilide class III antiarrhythmic agent. It specifically blocks hERG (KV11.1) voltage-gated K+ channel current in heterologous systems1,2, cardiac cells3 and cardiac preparations4.
Scientific background
E-4031 is a methanesulfonanilide class III antiarrhythmic agent known to inhibit KV11.1 (hERG) channels. Sub-micromolar concentration of E-4031, selectively blocks Kv11.1 channels, either in heterologous systems,1,2 cardiac cells3 and cardiac preparations.4 E-4031 was shown to rescue the functional expression of mutated (LQ2) KV11.1 channels in HEK cells.5 E-4031 (40 µM) treatment also prevented FAK phosphorylation and Rac1 activity (only in HEK cells expressing the KV11.1 subunit).6 In rat carotid chemoreceptor cells, 1 µM E-4031 inhibited the KV current, to a larger extent in postnatal cells, establishing the developmental disappearance of KV11.1 channels and their contribution to the response to hypoxia.7 E-4031 (1 µM) accelerated myoblast fusion, probably by blocking KV11.1 channels that leads to depolarization.8
