3,5-Dichloro-N-[[(1α,5α,6-exo,6α)-3-(3,3-diMethylbutyl)-3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hex-6-yl]Methyl]-benzaMide Usage And Synthesis

Uses

This compound, referred to as ML218, is a centrally active calcium channel inhibitor with potential applications to treatment of pain, epilepsy and neurological disorders through further study.

Definition

ChEBI: 3,5-dichloro-N-[[(1S,5R)-3-(3,3-dimethylbutyl)-3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexan-6-yl]methyl]benzamide is an organohalogen compound and a carbonyl compound.

Biological Activity

ML218 (CID 45115620) is a potent and selective T-Type (Cav3.1, Cav3.2, Cav3.3) calcium channel inhibitor (Cav3.2, IC50 = 150 nM in Ca2+ flux; Cav3.2 IC50 = 310 nM and Cav3.3 IC50 = 270 nM with good Drug metabolism/Pharmacokinetics. In a panel of 68 GPCRs, ion channels and transporters, ML218 was found to bind significantly only two other targets (sodium channel site 2 and sigma 1) and had no significant inhibition of L- or N-type calcium channels, KATP or hERG potassium channels. It showed robust inhibition of calcium current in STN neurons and was orally active in a rodent model of Parkinson′s Disease.
