Using Qube 384, we profiled a panel of NaV inhibitors across species, providing valuable translational insight early in analgesic drug discovery.
Enhance predictive accuracy, reduce false negatives and late-stage failures for safer drug development with improved preclinical-to-clinical translationRecordings using voltage-sensitive dye (VSD) with quality equivalent to patch-clamp are crucial for assessing cardiovascular risk in drug discovery. They provide a high-fidelity, high-throughput alternative to traditional electrophysiology techniques.
VSD-based recordings offer non-invasive, high-resolution measurements of membrane potential changes across a large number of cells or wells simultaneously, enabling faster and more efficient cardiac safety screening. This approach ensures precise detection of drug-induced effects on cardiac ion channels, such as hERG (IKr), Nav1.5, and Cav1.2, which are critical for evaluating proarrhythmic risk.
The ability to achieve patch-clamp-equivalent data quality using VSD enhances predictive accuracy, reducing false negatives and late-stage failures, and supports safer drug development with improved preclinical-to-clinical translation.
