The effects of rosiglitazone and troglitazone were examined on cloned Kv1.3 channels stably expressed in Chinese hamster ovary cells using the whole-cell configuration of the patch-clamp technique. Rosiglitazone decreased the Kv1.3 currents and accelerated the decay rate of current inactivation in a concentration-dependent manner with an IC50 of 18.6 mu M. These effects were reversible after washout of the drug. Troglitazone caused the block of Kv1.3 with a similar pattern but was five times more potent than rosiglitazone with an IC50 of 3.5 mu M. The block of Kv1.3 by rosiglitazone and troglitazone was voltage-dependent at a membrane potential coinciding with the activation of the channels. Both drugs decreased the tail current amplitude and slowed the deactivation process of Kv1.3, resulting in a tail crossover phenomenon. These results indicate that rosiglitazone and troglitazone block the open state of Kv1.3 channels, suggesting that it is an important pharmacological target for rosiglitazone as a potent blocker of Kv1.3 channels.
