SKF-96365 (130495-35-1) is an inhibitor of receptor-mediated calcium entry (RMCE) with IC50's of 8.5 μM for ADP stimulated platelets and 11.7 μM for thrombin stimulated platelets. Also inhibits Voltage-gated Ca2+ but not ATP-gated Ca2+ entry.1 It has also been shown to block transient receptor potential canonical type (TRPC) channels2, high-voltage-activated (HVA) L-type channels1, K channels3, sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca-ATPase4 and voltage-gated sodium channels5. SKF-96365 is a potent blocker of LVA T-type Ca channels, in particular Ca(V)3.1 (IC50 = 0.56 μM).6
