Inhibitory profile of SEA0400 [2-[4-[(2,5-difluorophenyl)methoxy]phenoxy]-5-ethoxyaniline] assessed on the cardiac Na+-Ca2+ exchanger, NCX1.1.

SEA0400 (2-[4-[(2,5-difluorophenyl)methoxy]phenoxy]-5-ethoxyaniline) has recently been described as a potent and selective inhibitor of Na(+)-Ca(2+) exchange in cardiac, neuronal, and renal preparations. The inhibitory effects of SEA0400 were investigated on the cloned cardiac Na(+)-Ca(2+) exchanger, NCX1.1, expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes to gain insight into its inhibitory mechanism.

Effects of SEA0400 on mutant NCX1.1 Na+-Ca2+ exchangers with altered ionic regulation.

SEA0400 (SEA) blocks cardiac and neuronal Na+-Ca2+ exchange with the highest affinity of any known inhibitor, yet very little is known about its molecular mechanism of action. Previous data from our lab suggested that SEA stabilizes or modulates the transition of NCX1.1 exchangers into a Na+i-dependent (I1) inactive state.

Inhibition of canine (NCX1.1) and Drosophila (CALX1.1) Na(+)-Ca(2+) exchangers by 7-chloro-3,5-dihydro-5-phenyl-1H-4,1-benzothiazepine-2-one (CGP-37157).

The electrophysiological effects of the benzothiazepine 7-chloro-3,5-dihydro-5-phenyl-1H-4,1-benzothiazepine-2-one (CGP-37157) (CGP) were investigated on the canine (NCX1.1) and Drosophila (CALX1.1) plasmalemmal Na+-Ca2+ exchangers.
