Optical control of L-type Ca2+ channels using a diltiazem photoswitch
2018
Overview
L-type Ca2+ channels (LTCCs) play a crucial role in excitation–contraction coupling and release of hormones from secretory cells. They are targets of antihypertensive and antiarrhythmic drugs such as diltiazem. Here, we present a photoswitchable diltiazem, FHU-779, which can be used to reversibly block endogenous LTCCs by light. FHU-779 is as potent as diltiazem and can be used to place pancreatic β-cell function and cardiac activity under optical control.
