A cell-permeable, renal outer medullary potassium (ROMK) blocker that is shown to inhibit inward rectifier potassium channel, K_ir2.1 (IC₅₀ = 1.8 µM and 290 nM, at pH 7.4 and pH 8.5, respectively). It exhibits little selectivity against other members of the K_ir2.x family, but has no effect on K_ir1.1 (IC₅₀ >300 µM) and displays weak activity for K_ir4.1 and K_ir7.1 (IC₅₀ = 76 µM and 33 µM, respectively). It is reported to be assayed in 218 MLPCN HTS campaigns, demonstrating activity in only two assays that are not based on K_ir2.1. Furthermore, it displays a relatively clean profile in a radioligand binding panel of 68 GPCRs, ion channels and transporters.

ChEBI: 1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-N-(1-naphthalenylmethyl)methanamine is a member of naphthalenes.
