tcsc2098 GlyH-101

GlyH-101 is a cell-permeable glycinyl hydrazone compound that blocks CFTR with Ki of 1.4 uM.

IC50 value: 1.4 uM (Ki, at +60 mV) [1]

Target: CFTR

in vitro: GlyH-101 reversibly inhibited CFTR Cl- conductance in <1 min. Whole-cell current measurements revealed voltage-dependent CFTR block by GlyH-101 with strong inward rectification, producing an increase in apparent inhibitory constant Ki from 1.4 microM at +60 mV to 5.6 microM at -60 mV. GlyH-101 inhibitory potency was independent of pH from 6.5-8.0, where it exists predominantly as a monovalent anion with solubility approximately 1 mM in water[1]. In HeLa cells, these events were associated with a decrease in the rate of oxygen consumption, with GlyH-101 demonstrating a higher potency than CFTR(inh)-172. The impact of CFTR inhibitors on inflammatory parameters was also tested in HeLa cells. CFTR(inh)-172, but not GlyH-101, induced nuclear translocation of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) [2]. GlyH-101 is a glycine hydrazide that has recently been shown to block CFTR channels but its effects on cardiomyocytes are unknown. Here the action of GlyH-101 on cardiac I(Cl.PKA) and on other ion currents has been established. Whole-cell patch-clamp recordings were made from rabbit isolated ventricular myocytes. GlyH-101 blocked I(Cl.PKA) in a concentration- and voltage-dependent fashion (IC(50) at +100 mV=0.3 ± 1.5 μM and at -100 mV=5.1 ± 1.3 μM) [3].

in vivo: Topical GlyH-101 (10 microM) in mice rapidly and reversibly inhibited forskolin-induced hyperpolarization in nasal potential differences. In a closed-loop model of cholera, intraluminal GlyH-101 (2.5 microg) reduced by approximately 80% cholera toxin-induced intestinal fluid secretion [1].
