A new selective dual TRPC3/TRPC6 small molecule inhibitor GSK2833503A (GSK503A, also denoted as Example 19) 25 (link), 26 was provided by GlaxoSmithKline Pharmaceuticals. GSK503A has an IC50 = 21 nM for TRPC3 and 3 nM for TRPC6. Corresponding IC50 for Cav1.2, hERG, Nav1.5, TRPV1, and TRPV4 are 10,000, >50,000, 3300, 6,300, and 12,500 respectively. Cell permeable cGMP-analog (8-pCPT-cGMP) and cAMP-analog (8-Br-cAMP) were obtained from Sigma. For in vivo studies, sildenafil citrate (Revatio, Pfizer) was compressed into soft rodent chow (Transgenic Dough Diet, Bio-Serv) and provided at a dose of 200mg/kg/day for 2 months as described previously 27 (link). This dose yields a free plasma concentration in the range of 30–50 nM, well within the selective range for PDE5A.
