Paxilline
Chemical Name: (2R,4bS,6aS,12bS,12cR,14aS)-5,6,6a,7,12,12b,12c,13,14,1 4a-Decahydro-4b-hydroxy-2-(1-hydroxy-1-methylethyl)-12b ,12c-dimethyl-2H-pyrano[2'',3'':5',6']benz[1',2':6,7]in deno[1,2-b]indol-3(4bH)-one

Biological Activity:

Potent blocker of high-conductance Ca2+-activated K+ (BKCa) channels. Binds to the α-subunit of BKCa (Ki = 1.9 nM for block of currents in α-subunit-expressing oocytes) and enhances binding of charybdotoxin to BKCa channels in vascular smooth muscle. Also inhibits sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (IC50 = 5-50 μM).
