Application

Zoniporide hydrochloride hydrate has been used for the inhibition of sodium-hydrogen exchanger isoform 1 (NHE-1) in rat models. It has also been used in cytotoxicity assay and to study its effect on lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus multiplication.

Zoniporide hydrochloride hydrate may be used in Na⁺/H⁺-mediated cell signaling studies.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Zoniporide, a selective inhibitor of sodium-hydrogen exchanger isoform 1 (NHE-1) has cardioprotective effects against myocardial injuries and ischemic insults. It inhibits the swelling human platelets and attenuates cardiac contractile dysfunction in rats. Zoniporide might have neurotoxic effects as it causes peripheral sensory axonopathy.

Zoniporide is a potent and selective inhibitor of Na⁺/H⁺ exchanger isoform 1 (NHE-1). IC₅₀ = 59 nM at NHE-1, vs. 12,000 nM at NHE-2; Zoniporide inhibits NHE-1-dependent Na⁺ update with IC₅₀ of 14 nM.
