CLC-K chloride channels are expressed in the kidney, where they play a pivotal role in the mechanisms of urine concentration and Na(+) reabsorption. The identification of barttin as an essential beta-subunit of CLC-K channels allowed performance of a pharmacologic characterization of wild-type CLC-K1 expressed in Xenopus oocytes. To this end, a...

CLC channels are a gene family of Cl(-) channels that serve a variety of functions, several of which are involved in genetic diseases. Few specific ligands of CLC channels are known that could be useful as pharmacological tools or potential drugs. We synthesized various derivatives of 2-(p-chlorophenoxy)propionic acid, the S(-)-enantiomer of...
