Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) is caused by mutations of cardiac calsequestrin (CASQ2) that impair its characteristic ability of Ca<sup>2+</sup>-induced polymerization-depolymerization. However, stabilizing the CASQ2 polymer by pharmacological agents to treat CPVT has not been reported so far. Here, we tested whether small molecules can stabilize CASQ2 polymers. We synthesized 24 glycinate/alaninate/acetate α-pyranone analogs and conducted the CASQ2 depolymerization ...[more]
