N-{2-[4-(2-methoxyphenyl)piperazin-1-yl]cyclohexyl}benzenesulfonamide

Biological Activity

ML-SI3 is a 4-diastereomer racemate (2 cis and 2 trans isomers) with a cation channel TRPML1-blocking (IC50 = 3.1 μM/trans, 18.5 μM/cis against 5 μM ML-SA1-induced cellular calcium response) and TRPML2-activating activity (EC50 = 3.3 μM/trans, 9.4 μM/cis), while exhibiting much weaker TRPML3 potency (EC50 = 28.5 μM/trans, IC50 = 29.0 μM/cis). ML-SI3 is shown to compete against ML-SA1 for binding the same TRPML1 hydrophobic cavity. Comparing with ML-SI1 (GW405833), ML-SI3 is more potent and not agonist-dependent, effectively antagonizing against TRPML1 activation by both MK6-83 and ML-SA1.
