Biological Data

Biological description

Novel, selective Piezo1 channel activator which shows improved (or equivalent) reliability, efficacy and potency in functional assays compared to Yoda1 (EC50 values are 150nM and 600nM at mouse Piezo1 in calcium assays for Yoda2 (KC289) and Yoda1 respectively). Selective for Piezo1 over other membrane proteins and suggested to have greater effect and potency at mouse Piezo1 compared to human Piezo1. Also shows improved aqueous solubility more suited to physiological conditions than those of Yoda1 (~160x more soluble in aqueous buffer than Yoda1). Active in vivo and shows vasorelaxant effects consistent with Piezo1 agonism.
