ADCI is an inhibitor of voltage-activated sodiumchannels and N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)-receptor-gatedchannels. Inhibition of sodiumchannels by ADCI was voltage dependent. High doses of ADCI increased dopamine metabolism in the prefrontal cortex and o
τ-Fluvalinate is a pyrethroid acaricide.1It induces tail currents in Western honeybee (A. mellifera) voltage-gatedsodiumchannels (AmNav1) expressed inXenopusoocytes (EC50= 60 nM). It also induces tail currents in honeybee parasitic Varroa mite (V. destructor) Nav1 channels (VdNav1) expressed inXenopusoocytes (EC50= 160 nM) with a faster tail current decay than that of AmNav1 channels. Topical application of τ-fluvalinate (2 μl) in combination with coumaphos , atrazine , 2,4-DMPF, chlorpyrifos , and chlorothalonil does not affect honeybee queen mass, egg-laying patterns, or the mass of daughter worker bees at emergence.2Formulations containing τ-fluvalinate have been used to control Varroa mites in beehives. 1.Gosselin-Badaroudine, P., and Chahine, M.Biophysical characterization of the Varroa destructor NaV1 sodium channel and its affinity for τ-fluvalinate insecticideFASEB J.31(7)3066-3071(2017) 2.McAfee, A.Honey bee queen health is unaffected by contact exposure to pesticides commonly found in beeswaxSci.

Brevetoxin B is a polyketide neurotoxin produced by Karenia species and other dinoflagellates. It binds to site 5 on the alpha subunit of voltage-gatedsodiumchannels (IC50 = 15 nM) on neurons at the neuromuscular junction, causing the channel to open irreversibly at potentials more negative than normal, discharging action potentials repetitively. Brevetoxin B is ichthyotoxic at nanomolar concentrations and is responsible for an illness described as neurotoxic shellfish poisoning.
Lu AE98134, an activator of voltage-gatedsodiumchannels, acts as a partly selective Nav1.1 channels positive modulator. Lu AE98134 also increases the activity of Nav1.2 and Nav1.5 channels but not of Nav1.4, Nav1.6 and Nav1.7 channels. Lu AE98134 can be used to analyze pathophysiological functions of the Nav1.1 channel in various central nervous system diseases, including cognitive restoring in schizophrenia, et al[1].
Phenytoin-d10 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of phenytoin by GC- or LC-MS. Phenytoin is an anticonvulsant agent and active metabolite of fosphenytoin. Phenytoin is formed from fosphenytoin by tissue phosphatases. It inhibits neuronal voltage-gatedsodiumchannels in a voltage-dependent manner. Phenytoin reduces the neuronal firing frequency and decreases the amplitude of excitatory post-synaptic potentials (EPSPs) in electrically stimulated rat corticostriatal slices. It protects against seizures induced by maximal electroshock (MES) in mice. Formulations containing phenytoin have been used in the treatment of tonic-clonic seizures and status epilepticus.
Bupivacaine is a BK SK, Kv1, Kv3, TASK-2 K Channel and voltage-gated Na channel blocker used as an anesthetic. It maybe neurotoxic at high does, inducing apoptosis in neuroblastoma cells. It acts by binding to the intracellular portion of voltage-gatedsodiumchannels and blocking sodium influx into nerve cells.
