Popis: ICA-105665, identified by Icagen, Inc. (Durham, NC, U.S.A.), is a novel small molecule that opens Kv7.2/7.3 and Kv7.3/7.5 potassium channels (Roeloffs et al., 12), also known as KCNQ2/3 and KCNQ3/5 channels. The compound has demonstrated broad spectrum antiseizure activity in multiple animal models including maximal electroshock, 6 Hz seizures, pentylenetetrazole, and electrical kindling at doses from
