Description
TTA-Q6 is a selective antagonist of T-type Ca2+ channel and can be used in neurological research[1].
TTA-Q6 displayed good overall profiles and were examined in several in vivo assays responsive to T-type calcium channel antagonists. It showed robust inhibition of seizures in the WAG/Rij epilepsy model after oral dosing at 3 mg/kg. A 10 mg/kg dose of TTA-Q6 to rats right before their sleep period produced a further suppression of active wake for 0.5-2 h after dosing[2]. TTA-Q6 dose-dependently reduced amphetamine-induced psychomotor activity[3].
