Discovery of potent T-type calcium channel blocker

The intensive SAR study of 3,4-dihydroquinazoline series led to the most potent compound 10 (KYS05090: IC50 = 41 ± 1 nM) against T-type calcium channel and its potency is nearly comparable to that of Kurtoxin. As a small organic molecule, this compound showed the highest blocking activity reported to date.
