Abstract excerpt
Loss-of-function mutations in K v 7.1 often lead to long QT syndrome (LQTS), a cardiac repolarization disorder associated with increased risk of arrhythmia and subsequent sudden cardiac death. The discovery of agonistic I Ks modulators may offer a new potential strategy in pharmacological treatment of this disorder. The benzodiazepine ( R )-L3 potently activates K v 7.1 channels and shortens action potential...
