Product Description: VU 0240551 is a potent neuronal K-Cl cotransporter KCC2 inhibitor (IC50=560 nM) and is selective versus NKCC1. VU 0240551 also inhibits hERG and L-type Ca2+ channels. VU 0240551 attenuates GABA-induced hyperpolarization of P cells, produces a positive shift in the P cell GABA reversal potential and enhances P cell synaptic transmission[1][2].
Formula: C16H14N4OS2
