Assay Description
The conventional racemic mixture of Bay K 8644 is widely used as an L-type Ca2+ channel agonist. Each optical isomer has the opposite effect on IBa, with (R)-(+)-Bay-K-8644 as an antagonist, and S(-)-Bay K 8644 as an agonist. (R)-(+)-Bay-K-8644 suppresses Ba2+ current (IBa) (IC50 = 975 nM). When (R)-(+)-Bay-K-8644 (0.5 μM) was applied, IBa was suppressed to 71±10% of the control. (R)-(+)-Bay-K-8644IBa [1] exists. (R)-(+)-Bay-K-8644 is a calcium channel inhibitor [2].
