Selective CaV3.1 channel blocker (IC50 values are 0.2 and 31.8 μM for hCaV3.1 and hCaV3.2 respectively). Also reversibly inhibits NaV1.8 and blocks KV2.1 channels.
Selective NaV1.7 channel blocker. Shifts activation gating positively and decreases current magnitude. Displays 100-fold selectivity over other sodium channel subtypes.
Potent Nav1.7 blocker (IC50 = 2.5 nM). Also inhibits Nav1.1, Nav1.2, Nav1.3 and Nav1.6 in the nanomolar range. Exhibits no effects on Cav channels or nAChR at 5 μM. Demonstrates analgesic activity in vivo; antagonizes effects of scorpion-venom toxin OD1 a
