The cystic fibrosis (CF) gene encodes a cAMP-regulated chloride channel, the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR).{25612} CFTR Inhibitor-172 is a thiazolidinone that selectively blocks the CFTR channel (Ki = 300 nM) in a voltage-independent manner.{26516} It appears to directly modulate the gating of chloride at the channel and does not prevent elevation of cAMP or inhibit other pumps or channels.{26516,26514} In mice, CFTR inhibitor-172 prevents cholera toxin-induced fluid secretion in the small intestine, when given by intraperitoneal injection.{26516,25797} It slows cyst growth in animal models of polycystic kidney disease.{26515} As CFTR also modulates glutathione (GSH) efflux, CFTR inhibitor-172 can affect intracellular GSH concentration and reactive oxygen species balance.{26511,26512,26513}
