Figure 4: Structure activity relationship of adamantane compounds.

(a) Inhibitory effect of different AC derivatives (10 μM) on Kv7.1/KCNE1 channels. Chemical modifications at both ends of AC-1 were investigated as indicated. Inhibition was determined as percent change in current amplitude at the end of a depolarizing test pulse to +40 mV (n=3–5, ±s.e.m.). (b) Lack of correlation between inhibitory effect and hydrophobicity of AC compounds (n=3–5, ±s.e.m.). (c) Lack of correlation between inhibitory effect and volume of AC derivatives (n=3–5, ±s.e.m.). miLog P values and volume were calculated using Property Calculator (Molinspiration Cheminformatics).
