Global Clinical Landscape & Future Outlook

The race for GIRK2/KCNJ6 therapeutics is intensifying, with major players shifting focus from non-selective ion channel modulators to highly selective allosteric modulators. As first-generation pain and neuropsychiatric therapies reach the clinic, the next wave of R&D is targeting the precise heterotetrameric interfaces of GIRK1/2 channels to avoid systemic adverse effects.
