GS967 CAS 1262618-39-2
Selective Late Sodium Current (Persistent I_Na) Inhibitor
GS967 (CAS 1262618-39-2), also GS-458967, is a potent and selective inhibitor of the late (persistent) sodium current (late I_Na) with IC50 values of 0.13 and 0.21 uM in ventricular myocytes and isolated hearts. It shows ~42-fold preference for persistent over peak current and exerts anti-arrhythmic and anti-epileptic effects without broadly blocking other cardiac ion channels. Molecular formula C14H7F6N3O, MW 347.22. Research-grade with COA.

Key Molecular Targets & Pathway Nodes
GS967's therapeutic interest centers on the late (persistent) component of the cardiac and neuronal sodium current, which becomes pathological in disease.
How GS967 Works: Silencing the Pathological Late Sodium Leak
By preferentially blocking persistent sodium current, GS967 curbs the late inward Na+ load that destabilizes hearts and neurons
Persistent vs Peak Sodium Current
Voltage-gated sodium channels (notably Nav1.5 in heart) open transiently (peak current) but a small fraction fail to fully inactivate, producing a tiny 'late' (persistent) inward Na+ current (I_Na,L). In disease (ischemia, hypoxia, mutations) this late current is amplified, prolonging the action potential and promoting arrhythmias and excitability disorders.
Selective Late-Current Blockade
GS967 binds to inhibit the late/persistent I_Na with IC50 ~0.13 uM in myocytes and ~0.21 uM in isolated hearts, showing ~42-fold preference for persistent over peak current. This spares normal rapid depolarization while removing the pathological leak.
Electrical Stabilization & Anti-Seizure Effect
Reducing late I_Na lowers intracellular Na+ (and secondary Ca2+ via NCX), shortens pathologically prolonged action potentials, and reduces early- (EAD) and delayed- (DAD) afterdepolarizations that seed arrhythmias. In neurons the same mechanism raises seizure threshold, underpinning anti-epileptic activity — without broad sedation.
⚖️ GS967 vs Ranolazine vs Flecainide

- Selectivity EdgeGS967 spares peak & most other channels

♻️ Downstream Biological Consequences

Studied for suppressing EAD- and DAD-mediated extrasystoles in atrial and ventricular preparations, including ischemia and catecholamine models — a clean late-I_Na mechanism.
EAD / DADAnti-Epileptic Models
Demonstrates anticonvulsant activity and protection against premature lethality in Scn2a epilepsy models, raising seizure threshold without sedation.
Seizure ThresholdCardiac Ischemia / Reperfusion
Reduces ischemia-induced repolarization alternans and ECG heterogeneity in porcine/canine models, protecting against arrhythmogenesis.
