    Activity KN-62 is a potent non-competitive antagonist of the purinergic P2X7 receptors, shown to inhibit Bz-ATP-induced currents in HEK–hP2X7 cells with IC50 of 25 nM. KN-62 is also a selective, cell permeable inhibitor of Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent kinase type II, with IC50 of approximately 1 µM1.

      Alomone Labs KN-62 inhibits human P2X7 receptors expressed in HEK-293 cells.
      Dose-response curve of hP2X7 inhibition by KN-62 (#K-120). Cells were loaded with Fluo-8 NW dye, incubated with increasing concentrations of KN-62, and stimulated with 80 µM BzATP. Changes in intracellular Ca2+ following agonist application were detected as changes in maximum relative fluorescence (RLU) using FLIPRTETRA™. IC50 was calculated at 2.6 µM.

    Scientific background

    KN-62 is a potent and non-competitive antagonist of purinergic P2X7 receptors. In addition, KN-62 acts as a selective cell permeable inhibitor of Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent kinase type II (CaM kinase II)1. KN-62 inhibits Bz-ATP-induced currents in HEK–human P2X7 cells and CaM kinase II with IC50 value of 25 nM and 1 µM respectively1.

    CaM kinase II is very important to synaptogenesis and plasticity during brain development2. The P2X receptors are a family of ion channels that gated by ATP, a ligand that mediates wide critical physiologic functions. P2X7 receptor is responsible for mediating the release of proinflammatory cytokines in inflammatory/immune conditions and pain3.
