Asp-2905)

ASP2905 hydrochloride is a potent and selective inhibitor of the potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily H member 3 (KCNH3).

ASP2905 is a potent and selective potassium channel Kv12.2 inhibitor encoded by the Kcnh3/BEC1 gene. ASP2905 can cross the blood-brain barrier and has antipsychotic activities[1][2].
