| Bioactivity | ML218-d9 is the deuterium labeled ML218. ML218 is a potent, selective and orally active T-type Ca2+ channels (Cav3.1, Cav3.2, Cav3.3) inhibitor with IC50s of 310 nM and 270 nM for Cav3.2 and Cav3.3, respectively. ML218 inhibits the burst activity in subthalamic nucleus (STN) neurons. ML218 has no significant inhibition of L- or N-type calcium channels, KATP or hERG potassium channels. ML218 can penetrate the blood-brain barrier[1]. |
| Invitro | Stable heavy isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, and other elements have been incorporated into drug molecules, largely as tracers for quantitation during the drug development process. Deuteration has gained attention because of its potential to affect the pharmacokinetic and metabolic profiles of drugs[1]. |
