Abstract excerpt
Ca2+ channels with a CaV1.3 pore-forming α1 subunit have been implicated in both neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disorders, motivating the development of selective and potent inhibitors of CaV1.3 versus CaV1.2 channels, the calcium channels implicated in hypertensive disorders. We have previously identified pyrimidine-2,4,6-triones (PYTs) that preferentially inhibit CaV1.3 channels, but the structural...
