Decursin from Angelica gigas nakai blocks hkv1.5 channel

Research output: Contribution to journalJournal articlepeer-review

Abstract

Decursin was purifi ed from Angelica gigas Nakai, and its effects on the human Kv1.5 (hKv1.5) currents were recorded in mouse fi broblasts (Ltk- cells) by whole-cell patch-clamp technique. Decursin inhibited hKv1.5 current in a concentration-dependent manner, with an IC50 value of 2.7 μM at +60 mV. Decursin accelerated the inactivation kinetics of the hKv1.5 channel, and slowed the deactivation kinetics of the hKv1.5 current, resulting in a tail crossover phenomenon. Also, decursin inhibited the hKv1.5 current in a use-dependent manner. These results strongly suggest that decursin is a kind of open-channel blocker of the hKv1.5 channel.
