XE 991 is a blocker of KCNQ channels that potently inhibits KCNQ1 and 2 homomeric channels (IC50 = 0.75 and 0.71 µM, respectively) as well as KCNQ2+3 heteromultimers (IC50 = 0.6 µM). It much less effectively blocks eag, erg, and elk channels. The effectiveness of XE 991 against KCNQ channels depends on partners or accessory proteins. Through these actions, XE 991 enhances acetylcholine release from rat brain slices (EC50 = 490 nM) and shows good in vivo potency and duration of action, suggesting utility in Alzheimers disease therapeutics. While early studies focused on actions in the central nervous...
