Newest firstCannabidiol (CBD), the main non-psychotropic phytocannabinoid produced by the Cannabis sativa plant, blocks a variety of cardiac ion channels. We aimed to identify whether CBD regulated the cardiac pacemaker channel or the hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated channel (HCN4). HCN4 channels are important for the generation of the action potential in the sinoatrial node of the heart and increased heart…
Open article record in new tab ↗Retigabine is unique among anticonvulsant drugs by targeting the neuronal M-channel, which is composed of KV7.2/KV7.3 and contributes to the negative neuronal resting membrane potential. Unfortunately, retigabine causes adverse effects, which limits its clinical use. Adverse effects may be reduced by developing M-channel activators with improved KV7 subtype selectivity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the pr…
Open article record in new tab ↗Kv7 channels are powerfully regulated by a wide variety of physiological and pharmacological signals. Larsson et al. describe the direct modulation of Kv7 channels by endocannabinoids and explore how combinations of Kv7 activators with distinct subtype specificities might lead to effective and selective drug cocktails.
