Synonyms: XPC6591
Compound class:
Synthetic organic
Comment: XPC-6591 is one of a set of brain penetrant voltage-gated sodium channel (NaV) inhibitor compounds that were developed to test the hypothesis that NaV1.6 is the principal determinant of the anti-seizure efficacy of NaV inhibitors. NaV1.6 selectivity reduces side-effects that are caused by less selective inhibitors at additional channel isoforms, namely NaV1.1 (in inhibitory interneurons) and NaV1.5 (in cardiomyocytes).

Bioactivity Comments |
XPC-6591 is the most potent NaV1.6 inhibitor in the series, with IC50 5.6 nM. The IC50 values for the inhibitor set at NaV1.6 compared to the clinically used anti-epileptic medications phenytoin and carbamazepine produces the order XPC-6591 < XPC-5462 < XPC-7198 < XPC-7224 < XPC-4509 < phenytoin < carbamazepine. |
