โฆ Synopsis
Based on the structure-activity analysis of two series of blockers of the small conductance Ca 2+activated K + (SKca) channel, a novel class of bis-quinolinium cyclophane blockers has been designed and synthesised. These compounds exhibit submicromolar activity; UCL 1530 ( 4) is a useful agent since it has been shown (elsewhere) to be selective for the neuronal SKca channel (IC50 = 80 aM) relative to hepatocyte channels.

TsKapa (TsK), purified from the Buthidae Tityus serrulatus is a very high potent ligand for small-conductance apaminsensitive calcium-activated potassium channels (SK). It is able to efficiently compete with apamin for binding on this channel (K 0.5 โซุโฌ 0.3 nM) [Legros, C. et al., FEBS Lett. 390:81-
