As CRMP2 has been reported to regulate the functional activity of Na+ channels (Dustrude, Moutal, Yang, Wang, Khanna & Khanna, 2016; Dustrude, Perez-Miller, Francois-Moutal, Moutal, Khanna & Khanna, 2017; Dustrude, Wilson, Ju, Xiao & Khanna, 2013), we additionally tested if CBD3063 could affect Na+currents in sensory neurons. CDB3063 did not affect Na+ current density (DMSO: -455.7 ± 78.70 pA/pF; CBD3063: -455.0 ± 60.79 pA/pF) or gating properties of Na+ channels in DRG neurons (Figure S5 andTable 2 ). Furthermore, we found that CBD3063 had no effect on voltage-gated potassium channels (DMSO: 420.9 ± 54.19 pA/pF; CBD3063: 422.1 ± 52.70 pA/pF; Figure S6 ). Altogether, the above results demonstrate that CBD3063 specifically inhibits CaV2.2, sparing all other voltage-gated ion channels expressed in DRG sensory neurons.
