Application

YM-58483 has been used in the inhibition studies of calcium channels present in cardiomyocytes and pulmonary arterial endothelial cells.

Biochem/physiol Actions

YM-58483 is a selective Ca⁺⁺ release-activated Ca⁺⁺ (CRAC) [a.k.a. store-operated Ca⁺⁺ (SOC) channels] that mediate Ca⁺⁺ influx in T cells and other inflammatory cells. CRAC channel inhibitors have potential clinical applications in autoimmune disease, transplant rejection, allergic airway inflammation and bronchial asthma. YM-58483 is also promoted as a tool for CRAC studies; may be used as a gold standard.
