Effects of Benzothiazolamines on Voltage-Gated Sodium Channels
, 2017 Benzothiazole is a versatile fused heterocycle that aroused much interest in drug discovery as anticonvulsant, neuroprotective, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and anticancer. Two benzothiazolamines, riluzole and lubeluzole, are known blockers of voltage-gated sodium (Nav) channels.

Nomenclature of Voltage-Gated Sodium Channels [PDF]
Neuron, 2000 Voltage-gated Ca2+ channels mediate calcium influx in response to membrane depolarization and regulate intracellular processes such as contraction, secretion, neurotransmission, and gene expression. They are members of a gene superfamily of transmembrane ion channel proteins that includes voltage-gated K+ and Na+ channels.

The crystal structure of a voltage-gated sodium channel [PDF]
Nature, 2011 Voltage-gated sodium (Na(V)) channels initiate electrical signalling in excitable cells and are the molecular targets for drugs and disease mutations, but the structural basis for their voltage-dependent activation, ion selectivity and drug block is unknown. Here we report the crystal structure of a voltage-gated Na(+) channel from Arcobacter butzleri (
