Ca2+ leak from cardiac ryanodine receptor (RyR2) is an established mechanism of sudden cardiac death (SCD), whereby dysregulated Ca2+ handling causes ventricular arrhythmias. We previously discovered the RyR2-selective inhibitor ent-(+)-verticilide (ent-1), a 24-membered cyclooligomeric depsipeptide that is the enantiomeric form of a natural product (nat-(-)-verticilide). Here, we examined its 18-membered ring-size oligomer (ent-verticilide B1; ent-B1) in single RyR2 channel assays, [3H]ryanodine binding assays, and in Casq2-/- cardiomyocytes and mice, a gene-targeted model of SCD. ent-B1 inhibited RyR2 single-channels and [3H]ryanodine binding with low micromolar potency, and RyR2-mediated spontaneous Ca2+ release in Casq2-/- cardiomyocytes with sub-micromolar potency. ent-B1 was a partial RyR2 inhibitor, with maximal inhibitory efficacy of less than 50%. ent-B1 was stable in plasma, with a peak plasma concentration of 1460 ng/ml at 10 min and half-life of 45 min after intraperitoneal administration of 3 mg/kg in mice. Both 3 mg/kg and 30 mg/kg ent-B1 significantly reduced catecholamine-induced ventricular arrhythmia in Casq2-/- mice. Hence, we have identified a novel chemical entity, ent-B1, that preserves the mechanism of action of a hit compound and shows therapeutic efficacy. These findings strengthen RyR2 as an antiarrhythmic drug target and highlight the potential of investigating the mirror-image isomers of natural products to discover new therapeutics.
