Figure Lengend Snippet: ZAF is a novel inhibitor of TMEM16A channel. A , virtual screening flowchart. B , TMEM16A channel inhibitor binding pocket. C , whole-cell currents of HEK293T cells overexpressing (OE) TMEM16A channels were activated by 600 nM Ca 2+ in the pipette solution and inhibited by 10 μM of T16A inh -A01. WT HEK293T as vehicle control. The stimulation protocol: a holding potential of 0 mV for 100 ms, the membrane voltage was clamped in steps of 20 mV from −80 to +80 mV for 750 ms, then back down to −80 mV for 500 ms. D , statistical results of the TMEM16A whole-cell current in ( C ). Data are means ± SD (n = 3; ∗∗∗∗ p < 0.0001, OE TMEM16A + Ca 2+ versus control; ∗∗∗∗ p < 0.0001, OE TMEM16A + Ca 2+ + T16A inh -A01 versus OE TMEM16A + Ca 2+ ). E , the inhibition by Conivaptan, Entrectinib, Pimaricin, and Zafirlukast (100 μM) of TMEM16A current tested at +80 mV. Data are means ± SD (n = 5). F , representative current of TMEM16A inhibited by various concentrations of ZAF (0, 0.01, 0.1, 1, 10, and 100 μM). The stimulation protocol is consistent with ( C ). G , I-V curve of the TMEM16A currents inhibited with different concentrations of ZAF (n = 5). H , concentration response curves of ZAF inhibition of TMEM16A currents in HEK293T cells. The plot was fitted to the Hill equation (n = 5). HEK293T, human embryonic kidney 293T cells; I-V, current–voltage; ZAF, Zafirlukast.
