Short- and long-term differential effects of neuroprotective drug NS-7 on voltage-dependent sodium channels in adrenal chromaffin cells.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
In cultured bovine adrenal chromaffin cells, NS-7 [4-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-methyl-6-(5-piperidinopentyloxy) pyrimidine hydrochloride], a newly-synthesized neuroprotective drug, inhibited veratridine-induced (22)Na(+) influx via voltage-dependent Na(+) channels (IC(50)=11.4 microM). The inhibition by NS-7 occurred in the presence of ouabain, an inhibitor of Na(+),K(+) ATPase, but disappeared at higher concentration of veratridine, and upon the washout of NS-7. NS-7 attenuated veratridine-induced (45)Ca(2+) influx via voltage-dependent Ca(2+) channels (IC(50)=20.0 microM) and catecholamine secretion (IC(50)=25.8 microM). Chronic (>/=12 h) treatment of cells with NS-7 increased cell surface [(3)H]-STX binding by 86% (EC(50)=10.5 microM; t(1/2)=27 h), but did not alter the K(D) value; it was prevented by cycloheximide, an inhibitor of protein synthesis, or brefeldin A, an inhibitor of vesicular transport from the trans-Golgi network, but was not associated with increased levels of Na(+) channel alpha- and beta(1)-subunit mRNAs. In cells subjected to chronic NS-7 treatment, (22)Na(+) influx caused by veratridine (site 2 toxin), alpha-scorpion venom (site 3 toxin) or beta-scorpion venom (site 4 toxin) was suppressed even after the extensive washout of NS-7, and veratridine-induced (22)Na(+) influx remained depressed even at higher concentration of veratridine; however, either alpha- or beta-scorpion venom, or Ptychodiscus brevis toxin-3 (site 5 toxin) enhanced veratridine-induced (22)Na(+) influx as in nontreated cells. These results suggest that in the acute treatment, NS-7 binds to the site 2 and reversibly inhibits Na(+) channels, thereby reducing Ca(2+) channel gating and catecholamine secretion. Chronic treatment with NS-7 up-regulates cell surface Na(+) channels via translational and externalization events, but persistently inhibits Na(+) channel gating without impairing the cooperative interaction between the functional domains of Na(+) channels.
