General description

A cell-permeable, benzoimidazole, renal outer medullary potassium channel (ROMK) blocker that selectively inhibits inward rectifier potassium channel, Kir1.1 (IC50 = 240 nM), in HEK-293 cells. At 10 µM, it displays no effect on Kir2.1, Kir2.3, Kir4.1, and Kir7.1, with 150-fold selectivity over Kir6.2. In addition, it exhibits a modest off-target effect on the GABAA receptor (IC50 = 6.2 µM) among a panel of cardiac and central nervous system ion channels and receptors.
The Kir1.1 Inhibitor, VU591 controls the biological activity of Kir1.1. This small molecule/inhibitor is primarily used for Neuroscience applications.
