Compositions of matter comprising 5-phenoxyalkoxypsoralen compounds and their method of synthesis and use. The compounds are useable to treat diseases or disorders in human or animal subjects, including autoimmune diseases. The compounds inhibit potassium channels, including the Kv1.3 channel and at least some of the therapeutic effects of such compounds may be due at least in part to potassium channel inhibition. In some embodiments, the compounds are more selective for certain potassium channels (e.g., Kv1.3 channels) than other potassium channels (e.g., Kv1.5 channels).
物质组合物包括5-苯氧基烷氧基
紫檀酮化合物及其合成和使用方法。这些化合物可用于治疗人或动物主体的疾病或障碍,包括自身免疫性疾病。这些化合物抑制
钾通道,包括Kv1.3通道,这些化合物的至少一些治疗效果可能部分归因于
钾通道抑制作用。在某些实施例中,这些化合物对某些
钾通道(例如Kv1.3通道)的选择性更高,而对其他
钾通道(例如Kv1.5通道)的选择性较低。
