Biological Activity

Description Hexachlorophene (Hexachlorofen, Fostril, Nabac, pHisoHex) is a potent KCNQ1/KCNE1 potassium channel activator with EC50 of 4.61 ± 1.29 μM; It can also attenuate Wnt/beta-catenin signaling through the Siah-1-mediated beta-catenin degradation.This product is a hazardous chemical (acute toxicity/flammable/skin corrosive). Please use it while wearing a protective face mask, gloves, and clothing.
Targets
KCNQ1/KCNE1 [1]
(CHO cells)
4.61 μM(EC50)
In vitro Hexachlorophene, the active component of a prescription drug, as a potent KCNQ channel activator with unique subtype selectivity. It exhibits strong potentiation effects on both the homomeric KCNQ1 and the KCNQ1/KCNE1 complex. HCP potently increases the current amplitude of KCNQ1/KCNE1 expressed by stabilizing the channel in an open state with an EC50 of 4.61±1.29 μM. HCP significantly shortens the action potential duration at 1 μM in cardiomyocytes. In addition, HCP is capable of rescuing the loss of function of the LQTs mutants caused by either impaired activation gating or phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) binding affinity[1].
