Chemical Name:N-[2-[[[3-(4-Chlorophenyl)-2-propenyl]methylamino]methy
l]phenyl]-N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-4-methoxybenzenesulphonami
de
Biological Activity:
Potent inhibitor of CaM kinase II
(IC50 = 0.37 μM). Also a direct
extracellular open channel blocker of voltage-gated potassium channels (IC50
= 307 nM for Kv1.5); independent of CaM kinase II inhibition.
