| Description: | The following patch voltage clamp electrophysiology studies may be performed on representative compounds of the invention using human embryonic kidney cells (HEK), permanently transfected with an expression vector containing the full-length cDNA coding for the desired human sodium channel α-subunit, grown in culture media containing 10% FBS, 1% PSG, and 0.5 mg/mL G418 at 37° C. with 5% CO2. HEK cells used for the electrophysiology (EP) recordings have a passage number of less than 40 for all studies and are used within three days from the time of plating. Nav1.1, Nav1.5 and Nav1.6 cDNAs (NM_001165964 (SCN1A), NM_000335 (SCN5A) and NM_014191 (SCN8A), respectively) are stably expressed in HEK-293 cells. |
