Description
DCEBIO, a derivative of 1-EBIO, is an extremely potent activator of Cl- secretion in T84 colonic cells. DCEBIO stimulates Cl- secretion via the activation of hIK1 K+ channels and the activation of an apical membrane Cl- conductance.
Uses
DCEBIO is a small Ca2+sensitive K+ channel (SKCa) agonist. It also stimulate nitric oxide (NO) synthesis and vasodilation in resistance arteries.
Definition
ChEBI: DCEBIO is a dichlorobenzene.
Biological Activity
Stimulates Cl - secretion via activation of hIK1 K + channels and the activation of an apical Cl - conductance. More potent than its analog 1-EBIO (1-Ethyl-2-benzimidazolinone ).
