Scientific background

KN-62 is a potent and non-competitive antagonist of purinergic P2X7 receptors. In addition, KN-62 acts as a selective cell permeable inhibitor of Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent kinase type II (CaM kinase II)1. KN-62 inhibits Bz-ATP-induced currents in HEK-human P2X7 cells and CaM kinase II with IC50 value of 25 nM and 1 µM respectively1.CaM kinase II is very important to synaptogenesis and plasticity during brain development2. The P2X receptors are a family of ion channels that gated by ATP, a ligand that mediates wide critical physiologic functions. P2X7 receptor is responsible for mediating the release of proinflammatory cytokines in inflammatory/immune conditions and pain3.
