AA43279
Nav 1.1 activator / Selective Nav1.1activator. In HEK-293 cells expressing human Nav1.1 channels AA43279 increased the Nav1.1-mediated current in a concentration dependent manner (EC50=9.5 µM). In rat hippocampal brain slices it increased the firing activity parvalbumin-expressing, fast-spiking GABAergic interneurons and increased the spontaneous inhibitory post-synaptic currents recorded from pyramidal neurons. It displayed anticonvulsant activity in vivo. Important tool compound for exploring the physiology of Nav1.1 channels.1
