SEA0400
SEA0400 (CAS 223104-29-8) is a selective inhibitor of the sodium-calcium exchanger (NCX), an antiporter responsible for cellular calcium homeostasis by facilitating sodium-calcium ion exchange across membranes. SEA0400 inhibits NCX activity at nanomolar concentrations (IC50 between 5-33 nM in neuronal and glial cell cultures), with substantially higher potency than KB-R7943. By blocking reverse-mode NCX function during reperfusion scenarios, SEA0400 reduces pathological intracellular calcium influx and downstream pro-inflammatory mediator production. It has demonstrated neuroprotective effects by reducing infarction volumes in rodent cerebral ischemia models, as well as anti-arrhythmic properties in myocardial infarction models.

|
Applications |
SEA040 is a most potent and selective inhibitor of Na+-Ca2+ exchanger (NCX). It inhibited the Na+-dependent 45Ca2+ uptake with IC50 values of 33 nM (neurons), 5.0 nM (astrocytes) and 8.3 nM (microglia). |
| Animal experiment : [2] | |

Animal models |
Guinea Pigs |
|
Dosage form |
Guinea Pigs were anesthetized with sodium pentobarbital (50 mg/kg i.p.). After 15 min of stabilization, SEA0400 were administered at doses of 1–10 mg/kg (each animal received only one dose) as i.v. bolus injection through the jugular vein. Five minutes later, 25 μg/kg of aconitine was injected to induce ventricular arrhythmias. |
|
Applications |
SEA0400 showed no significant changes at dose of 10 mg/kg. The duration of normal sinus rhythm, PVC, narrow QRS VT and wide QRS VT were 21.5, 4.3, 17.3 and 16.8 min, respectively. |
|
Other notes |
Please test the solubility of all compounds indoor, and the actual solubility may slightly differ with the theoretical value. This is caused by an experimental system error and it is normal. |
