Novel phenolic inhibitors of small/intermediate-conductance Ca²⁺-activated K⁺ channels, KCa3.1 and KCa2.3.

KCa3.1 channels are calcium/calmodulin-regulated voltage-independent K(+) channels that produce membrane hyperpolarization and shape Ca(2+)-signaling and thereby physiological functions in epithelia, blood vessels, and white and red blood cells. Up-regulation of KCa3.1 is evident in fibrotic and inf...
