ICA 121431 is a voltage-gated sodium channel (Na_v) blocker that selectively blocks Na_v1.1 and Na_v1.3 over Na_v1.4, and Na_v1.5-1.8 channels (IC₅₀s = <20, 19, 240, and >10,000 nM, respectively). It induces a concentration-dependent hyperpolarizing shift in voltage dependence of inactivation of Na_v1.3 channels at a concentration 1 μM but has no effect on resting channels. Substitution of the Na_v1.3 domain IV voltage-sensor domain (VSD4) with the Na_v1.5 VSD4 reduces ICA 121431 potency by approximately 500-fold.

ICA 121431 is a voltage-gated sodium (Nav) channel inhibitor.
