AP14145 selectivity and mechanism of action were investigated by patch-clamp recordings of heterologously expressed KCa2 channels.

The presence of AP14145 (10 μM) increased the EC50of Ca2+on KCa2.3 channels from 0.36 ± 0.02 to 1.2 ± 0.1 μM. The inhibitory effect strongly depended on two amino acids, S508 and A533 in the channel.
