Gene Information

human ... SCN4A(6329) , SCN5A(6331)

Application

Ranolazine dihydrochloride has been used:
  • as a low Torsades-de-pointes (TdP) risk drug to study its effects on QTc prolongation, electrocardiographic (PR and QRS) intervals in dog cardiovascular model
  • as a partial fatty acid oxidation (FAO) inhibitor to study its effects on glioblastoma cells
  • as a late sodium(Na+)-current (INaL) inhibitor to study its effects on atrial tachycardia in rabbit heart

Biochem/physiol Actions

Ranolazine is a derivative of anti-ischemic piperazine and acts as sodium (Na+)-current inhibitor. It has the potential to treat diastolic heart failure and helps in ameliorating myocardial diastolic function.
pFOX (partial fatty acid oxidation) inhibitor, a new class of anti-anginal drugs, which inhibit fatty acid beta-oxidation and activates pyruvate dehydrogenase, thereby diverting the heart′s energy source from lipids to glucose, which requires less oxygen and helps maintain myocardiac function at times of ischemia

Mechanical stretch increases Na+ inflow into myocytes, related to mechanisms including stretch-activated channels or Na+/H+ exchanger activation, involving Ca2+ increase that leads to changes in electrophysiological properties favoring arrhythmia induction. Ranolazine is an antianginal drug with confirmed beneficial effects against

Acute cardiac hypoxia produces life-threatening elevations in late sodium current (ILATE) in the human heart. Here, we show the underlying mechanism: hypoxia induces rapid SUMOylation of NaV1.5 channels so they reopen when normally inactive, late in the action potential. NaV1.5

Regulation of hyaluronan (HA) synthesis and degradation is essential to maintenance of extracellular matrix homeostasis. We recently reported that HYBID (HYaluronan-Binding protein Involved in hyaluronan Depolymerization), also called KIAA1199, plays a key role in HA depolymerization in skin and arthritic

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most aggressive adult glioma with a median survival of 14 months. While standard treatments (safe maximal resection, radiation, and temozolomide chemotherapy) have increased the median survival in favorable O(6)-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT)-methylated GBM (~21 months), a large

Fatty Acid Synthesis and Metabolism in Cancer Cells

Information on fatty acid synthesis and metabolism in cancer cells. Learn how proliferatively active cells require fatty acids for functions such as membrane generation, protein modification, and bioenergetic requirements. These fatty acids are derived either from dietary sources or are synthesized by the cell.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
