| Bioactivity | Zaldaride maleate (CGS-9343B) is a potent, orally active and selective inhibitor of calmodulin. Zaldaride maleate (CGS-9343B) inhibits CaM (calmodulin)-stimulated cAMP phosphodiesterase activity, with an IC50 of 3.3 nM[1][2]. Zaldaride maleate (CGS-9343B) prevents estrogen-induced transcription activation by ER, reversibly blocks voltage-activated Na+, Ca2+ and K+ currents in PC12 cells and inhibits nAChR[3]. |
| Target | IC50: 3.3 nM (calmodulin). |
| In Vivo | Zaldaride maleate (KW 5617, P.O., 3 mg/kg) ameliorates the diarrhea in the 16, 16-dimethyl prostaglandin E2 model[4]. Animal Model: |
