Structure-based identification and characterisation of novel inhibitors of K <sub>Na</sub> 1.1 potassium channels, a stratified target for <i>KCNT1</i> -related epilepsy
2019-09-26
Abstract excerpt
Several types of drug-resistant epileptic encephalopathies of infancy have been associated with mutations in the KCNT1 gene, which encodes the sodium-activated potassium channel subunit K Na 1.1. These mutations are commonly gain-of-function, increasing channel activity, therefore inhibition by drugs is proposed as a stratified approach to treat disorders. To date, quinidine therapy has been trialled with severa...
