Benzisoxazole: a privileged scaffold for medicinal chemistry.

abstract：:Based on the scaffold of astemizole, three novel turn-on fluorescent probes (N1-N3) for human ether-a-go-go-related gene (hERG) potassium channel were developed herein. These probes have reasonable fluorescence properties, acceptable cell toxicity, and potent inhibitory activity, all of which contribute to cell imagin...
