Dequalinium is a potent and selective blocker of the small conductance Ca(2+)-activated K+ (SKCa) channel in rat sympathetic neurones. Analogues of dequalinium possessing 3-6, 8, 10, and 12 methylene groups in the linking chain have been synthesized and tested for inhibition of the afterhyperpolarization in rat sympathetic neurones. The compounds having a 5-12-carbon chain showed very little variation in their activity as SKCa channel blockers. The analogues possessing four and three methylenes exhibited 3- and 8-fold lower potency, respectively, compared with dequalinium. These results are discussed in the context of possible modes of binding of the compounds to the SKCa channel.
