SSCI-1 is a highly potent, selective NaV1.7 inhibitor with IC50 of 27 and 82 nM on human and rhesus Nav1.7 channels, respectively.
SSCI-1 showed robust selectivity over other human and rhesus Nav channel paralogs, with the exception of Nav1.2 channels (IC50 252 nM for hNaV1.2), shows no other channels and receptors in 114 enzymatic, radioligand binding, and cellular assays.
SSCI-1 also exhibits high potency in manual patch clamp experiments (IC50=66/295 nM for huma/rhesus Nav1.7 channels).
SSCI-1 does not affect myelinated nerve excitability as measured by TT, SSCI-1 inhibits odorant-induced olfaction in the olfactory bulb of rhesus monkeys, measured by fMRI.
SSCI-1 inhibits withdrawal responses to noxious heat in rhesus monkeys.
