Our bioassay
Alomone Labs QX-222 chloride inhibits native NaV channels in ND7-23 cells.Inhibition of NaV currents by applying extracellularly 10 mM QX-222 chloride (#Q-200) using whole cell patch clamp recordings. Currents were elicited from a holding potential of -100 mV and test pulses of 40 ms to -10 mV were delivered every 10 sec. Superimposed traces show the response before (black) and during (orange) application of QX-222 chloride.
Scientific background QX-222 is a quarternary derivative of the local anesthetic Lidocaine. It was shown to block NaV currents and channels in a use-dependent manner.1 The blocking mechanism involves an intracellular binding site, but some NaV channels facilitate the passage of QX-222 via the open channel.2 In addition it was shown to inhibit nicotinic ACh receptor channels.3
