Abstract excerpt
Kv7 K+ channels represent attractive pharmacological targets for the treatment of different neurological disorders, including epilepsy. In this paper, 42 conformationally restricted analogues of the prototypical Kv7 activator retigabine have been synthesized and tested by electrophysiological patch-clamp experiments as Kv7 agonists. When compared to retigabine (0.93 ± 0.43 μM), the EC50s for Kv7.2 current...
