In studies aimed at identifying novel compounds which interact with voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs), for potential development of new drugs for treating channelopathies, tamoxifen, a drug which is widely used for treatment and prophylactic use in breast cancer was shown to specifically bind with high affinity to the NavMs sodium channel. Our crystallographic studies have demonstrated that the tamoxifen binds into a heretofore unidentified binding site in this channel in a manner that bears resemblance to its binding into its target estrogen receptor. Electrophysiology studies on native and mutated channels (Sula, Hollingworth, Ng, Lamore, DeCaen, Wallace, Molecular Cell, 2021) revealed that tamoxifen binding affects channel activity by delaying channel from the inactive state and studies with mutant channels confirmed the roles of residues identified by the structural studies. These studies thus not only reveal potential new target sites for development of therapeutic drugs targeting in VGSCs, but also have potential health implications for off-target interactions of this widely-used prophylactic drug.(Supported by grants from the UK BBSRC and the Rosetrees Trust.)
