Discovery of KV1.3 ion channel inhibitors: Medicinal chemistry approaches and challenges
Medicinal Research Reviews, Volume 41, Issue 4, Page 2423-2473, July 2021., 2021 Abstract The KV1.3 voltage‐gated potassium ion channel is involved in many physiological processes both at the plasma membrane and in the mitochondria, chiefly in the immune and nervous systems. Therapeutic targeting KV1.3 with specific peptides and small molecule inhibitors shows great potential for treating cancers and autoimmune diseases, such as ...
