Cholesterol Myristate (Cholesteryl Myristate) is a natural steroid found in traditional Chinese medicine that interacts with various ion channels, including the GABAA receptor, nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, and the inward-rectifier potassium ion channel.

Tamapin TFA, a venom peptide isolated from the Indian red scorpion (Mesobuthus tamulus) [1], selectively targets and blocks small conductance Ca(2+)-activated K(+) (SK) channels, particularly the SK2 subtype (Potassium Channel). It is known to inhibit SK channel-mediated currents in the hippocampal pyramidal neurons.

Stromatoxin 1, a peptide isolated from tarantulas, acts as an inhibitor of various potassium channels, including K(V)2.1, K(V)2.2, K(V)4.2, and K(V)2.1/9.3. It selectively targets K(V)2.1 and K(V)2.2 channel subunits, which are crucial in counteracting myogenic and neurogenic contractions of rat urinary bladder smooth muscle (UBSM) [1].

A2793 is a dual inhibitor of TWIK-associated acid-sensitive K+ channel 1 (TASK-1)/TRESK, with an IC50 for mTRESK of 6.8 μM. It is more selective for TRESK, and relatively weaker for TREK-1 and TALK-1.

Glimepiride (HOE-490) is a long-acting, third-generation sulfonylurea with hypoglycemic activity.
