Abstract:: 1. The novel cation channel blocker, LOE 908, was tested for its effects on Ca2+ entry and membrane currents activated by depletion of intracellular Ca2+ stores in human endothelial cells. 2. LOE 908 inhibited store-operated Ca2+ entry induced by direct depletion of Ca2+ stores with 100 nM thapsigargin or 100 nM ionomycin with an EC50 of 2 microM and 4 microM, respectively. 3. LOE 908 did not affect thapsigargin- or ionomycin-induced Ca2+ release from intracellular stores up to concentrations of 3 microM. 4. LOE 908 reversibly suppressed thapsigargin- as well as ionomycin-induced whole-cell membrane currents. 5. The LOE 908-sensitive membrane conductance corresponded to a cation permeability of 5.5 and 6.9 fold selectivity for Ca2+ over K+ in the presence of thapsigargin and ionomycin, respectively. 6. Our results suggest that the isoquinoline, LOE 908 is a novel, potent inhibitor of the store-operated (capacitive) Ca2+ entry pathway in endothelial cells.
