"Intriguingly we found that emodepside modulated nematode (Ce slo-1), insect (Drosophila, Dm slo) and human (hum kcnma1) SLO channels but that there are discrete differences in the features of the modulation that are consistent with its anthelmintic efficacy."

reach
"Electrophysiological studies on Ascaris suum are consistent with emodepside activation of SLO-1, but with a slow time course, possibly indicative of a non extracellular binding site within the transmembrane domains [XREF_BIBR]."

reach
"XREF_BIBR proposed that emodepside either directly or indirectly activates SLO-1 that is present in body wall muscle and motor neurons to produce its inhibitory effects in nematodes."

reach
"The prevailing view is that emodepside directly or indirectly activates SLO-1 XREF_BIBR, XREF_BIBR."

reach
"Thus in the presence of low intracellular Ca 2+ (52 nM) where the Dm Slo channel was closed at most voltages and also at higher intracellular Ca 2+ (e.g. 290nM) where the Dm Slo channel shows outward rectification, emodepside consistently induced a linear current-voltage behaviour of the Dm Slo channel (XREF_FIG) indicating a reduction in the rectifying properties of the channel without any shift in reversal potential."
