KCNT1 INHIBITORS AND METHODS OF USE CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION [001] This application claims the benefit of, and relies on the filing date of, U.S. provisional patent application number 63/181,498, filed 29 April 2021, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE [002] The present disclosure is generally directed to KCNT1 inhibitors comprising an oxadiazole core, as well as pharmaceutical compositions and methods of treatment involving the use of such compounds. BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE [003] Potassium sodium-activated channel subfamily T member 1 (“KCNT1”) is one of the genes in a family of genes responsible for providing the instructions to make potassium channels. KCNT1 encodes sodium-activated potassium channels known as Slack (Sequence like a calcium-activated K ⁺ channel). These channels are found in neurons throughout the brain and can mediate a sodium-activated potassium current I _KNa . This delayed outward current can regulate neuronal excitability and the rate of adaption in response to maintained stimulation. Abnormal Slack activity has been associated with development of early onset epilepsies and intellectual impairment. Accordingly, pharmaceutical compounds that selectively regulate sodium-activated potassium channels, e.g., abnormal KCNT1 or abnormal IKNa, are useful in treating a neurological disease or disorder or a disease or condition related to excessive neuronal excitability and/or KCNT1 gain-of-function mutations. SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE [004] Described herein are compounds and compositions useful for preventing and/or treating a disease, disorder, or condition, e.g., a neurological disorder, a disorder associated with excessive neuronal excitability, or disorder associated with a gain-of-function mutation in a gene, for example, KCNT1.

Definitions Chemical definitions [0028] Definitions of specific functional groups and chemical terms are described in more detail below. The chemical elements are identified in accordance with the Periodic Table of the Elements, CAS version, Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, 75 ^th Ed., inside cover, and specific functional groups are generally defined as described therein. Additionally, general principles of organic chemistry, as well as specific functional moieties and reactivity, are described in Thomas Sorrell, Organic Chemistry, University Science Books, Sausalito, 1999; Smith and March, March’s Advanced Organic Chemistry, 5 ^th Edition, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York, 2001; Larock, Comprehensive Organic Transformations, VCH Publishers, Inc., New York, 1989; and Carruthers, Some Modern Methods of Organic Synthesis, 3 ^rd Edition, Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 1987. [0029] Compounds described herein can comprise one or more asymmetric centers, and thus can exist in various isomeric forms, e.g., enantiomers and/or diastereomers. For example, the compounds described herein can be in the form of an individual enantiomer, diastereomer or geometric isomer, or can be in the form of a mixture of stereoisomers, including racemic mixtures and mixtures enriched in one or more stereoisomer. Isomers can be isolated from mixtures by methods described in the art, including chiral high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) and the formation and crystallization of chiral salts; or preferred isomers can be prepared by asymmetric syntheses. See, for example, Jacques et al., Enantiomers, Racemates and Resolutions (Wiley Interscience, New York, 1981); Wilen et al., Tetrahedron 33:2725 (1977); Eliel, Stereochemistry of Carbon Compounds (McGraw–Hill, NY, 1962); and Wilen, Tables of Resolving Agents and Optical Resolutions p. 268 (E.L. Eliel, Ed., Univ. of Notre Dame Press, Notre Dame, IN 1972). The compounds described herein encompass both individual isomers substantially free of other isomers, and alternatively, mixtures of various isomers. [0030] As used herein a pure enantiomeric compound is substantially free from other enantiomers or stereoisomers of the compound (i.e., in enantiomeric excess). In other words, an “S” form of the compound is substantially free from the “R” form of the compound and is, thus, in enantiomeric excess of the “R” form. The term “enantiomerically pure” or “pure enantiomer” denotes that the compound comprises more than 75% by weight, more than 80% by weight, more than 85% by weight, more than 90% by weight, more than 91% by weight, more than 92% by weight, more than 93% by weight, more than 94% by weight, more than 95% by weight, more than 96% by weight, more than 97% by weight, more than 98% by weight, more than 98.5% by weight, more than 99% by weight, more than 99.2% by weight, more than 99.5% by weight, more than 99.6% by weight, more than 99.7% by weight, more than 99.8% by weight or more than 99.9% by weight, of the enantiomer. In certain embodiments, the weights are based upon total weight of all enantiomers or stereoisomers of the compound. [0031] In the compositions provided herein, an enantiomerically pure compound can be present with other active or inactive ingredients. For example, a pharmaceutical composition comprising enantiomerically pure R–compound can comprise, for example, about 90% excipient and about 10% enantiomerically pure R–compound. In certain embodiments, the enantiomerically pure R–compound in such compositions can, for example, comprise, at least about 95% by weight R–compound and at most about 5% by weight S–compound, by total weight of the compound. For example, a pharmaceutical composition comprising enantiomerically pure S–compound can comprise, for example, about 90% excipient and about 10% enantiomerically pure S–compound. In certain embodiments, the enantiomerically pure S–compound in such compositions can, for example, comprise, at least about 95% by weight S–compound and at most about 5% by weight R–compound, by total weight of the compound. In certain embodiments, the active ingredient can be formulated with little or no excipient or carrier. [0032] Compound described herein may also comprise one or more isotopic substitutions. For example, H may be in any isotopic form, including ¹ H, ² H (D or deuterium), and ³ H (T or tritium); C may be in any isotopic form, including ¹² C, ¹³ C, and ¹⁴ C; O may be in any isotopic form, including ¹⁶ O and ¹⁸ O; F may be in any isotopic form, including ¹⁸ F and ¹⁹ F; and the like.

(2015) Ann Neurol.75(4): 581-590; Barcia et al. (2012) Nat Genet.44(11): 1255-1259; and Mikati et al. (2015) Ann Neurol. 78(6): 995-999). [0092] ADNFLE has a later onset than EIMFS, generally in mid-childhood, and is generally a less severe condition. It is characterized by nocturnal frontal lobe seizures and can result in psychiatric, behavioural and cognitive disabilities in patients with the condition. While ADNFLE is associated with genes encoding several neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunits, mutations in the KCNT1 gene have been implicated in more severe cases of the disease (Heron et al. (2012) Nat Genet. 44: 1188-1190). Functional studies of the mutated KCNT1 genes associated with ADNFLE indicated that the underlying mutations (M896I, R398Q, Y796H and R928C) were dominant, gain-of-function mutations (Milligan et al. (2015) Ann Neurol. 75(4): 581-590; Mikati et al. (2015) Ann Neurol. 78(6): 995-999). [0093] West syndrome is a severe form of epilepsy composed of a triad of infantile spasms, an interictal electroencephalogram (EEG) pattern termed hypsarrhythmia, and mental retardation, although a diagnosis can be made one of these elements is missing. Mutations in KCNT1, including G652V and R474H, have been associated with West syndrome (Fukuoka et al. (2017) Brain Dev 39:80-83 and Ohba et al. (2015) Epilepsia 56:el21-el28). Treatment targeting the KCNT1 channel suggests that these mutations are gain-of-function mutations (Fukuoka et al. (2017) Brain Dev 39:80-83). [0094] In one aspect, disclosed herein is a method of treating treat a disorder associated with excessive neuronal excitability or a disorder associated with a gain-of-function mutation in a gene such as KCNT1 (for example, epilepsy and other encephalopathies (e.g., MMFSI or EIMFS, ADNFLE, West syndrome, infantile spasms, epileptic encephalopathy, focal epilepsy, Ohtahara syndrome, DEE, Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, seizures, leukodystrophy, leukoencephalopathy, intellectual disability, Multifocal Epilepsy, Generalized tonic clonic seizures, drug-resistant epilepsy, Temporal lobe epilepsy, cerebellar ataxia, Asymmetric Tonic Seizures); cardiac dysfunctions (e.g., cardiac arrhythmia, Brugada syndrome, sudden unexpected death in epilepsy, myocardial infarction); pain and related conditions (e.g., neuropathic pain, acute/chronic pain, migraine, etc.); muscle disorders (e.g., myotonia, neuromyotonia, cramp muscle spasms, spasticity); itch and pruritis; ataxia and cerebellar ataxias; psychiatric disorders (e.g., major depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia), learning disorders, Fragile X, neuronal plasticity, and autism spectrum disorders) comprising administering to a subject in need thereof a compound disclosed herein (e.g., a compound of Formula (I), (e.g., (I-a), (I-b), (I-c), (I-d), or (I- e)) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof) or a pharmaceutical composition disclosed herein (e.g., a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound disclosed herein (e.g., a compound of Formula (I), (e.g., (I-a), (I-b), (I-c), (I-d), or (I-e)) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof), and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient). [0095] In some examples, the subject presenting with a disorder that may be associated with a gain-of-function mutation in KCNT1 is genotyped to confirm the presence of a known gain- of-function mutation in KCNT1 prior to administration of the compounds or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof or and compositions disclosed herein. For example, whole exome sequencing can be performed on the subject. Gain-of-function mutations associated with EIMFS may include, but are not limited to, V271F, G288S, R428Q, R474Q, R474H, R474C, I760M, A934T, P924L, G243S, H257D, A259D, R262Q, Q270E, L274I, F346L, C377S, R398Q, P409S, A477T, F502V, M516V, Q550del, K629E, K629N, I760F, E893K, M896K, R933G, R950Q, and K1154Q. Gain-of-function mutations associated with ADNFLE may include, but are not limited to, M896I, R398Q, Y796H, R928C, and G288S. Gain-of-function mutations associated with West syndrome may include, but are not limited to, G652V and R474H. Gain-of-function mutations associated with temporal lobe epilepsy may include, but are not limited to, R133H and R565H. Gain-of-function mutations associated with Lennox-Gastaut may include, but are not limited to, R209C. Gain-of-function mutations associated with seizures may include, but are not limited to, A259D, G288S, R474C, R474H. Gain-of-function mutations associated with leukodystrophy may include, but are not limited to, G288S and Q906H. Gain-of-function mutations associated with Multifocal Epilepsy may include, but are not limited to, V340M. Gain-of-function mutations associated with early-onset epilepsy (EOE) may include, but are not limited to, F346L and A934T. Gain-of-function mutations associated with Early-onset epileptic encephalopathies (EOEE) may include, but are not limited to, R428Q. Gain-of-function mutations associated with developmental and epileptic encephalopathies may include, but are not limited to, F346L, R474H, and A934T. Gain-of-function mutations associated with epileptic encephalopathies may include, but are not limited to, L437F, Y796H, P924L, and R961H. Gain-of-function mutations associated with Early Infantile Epileptic Encephalopathy (EIEE) may include, but are not limited to, M896K. Gain-of- function mutations associated with drug-resistant epilepsy and generalized tonic-clonic seizure may include, but are not limited to, F346L. Gain-of-function mutations associated with migrating partial seizures of infancy may include, but are not limited to, R428Q. Gain-of-function mutations associated with Leukoencephalopathy may include, but are not limited to, F932I. Gain-of-function mutations associated with NFLE may include, but are not limited to, A934T and R950Q. Gain- of-function mutations associated with Ohtahara syndrome may include, but are not limited to, A966T. Gain-of-function mutations associated with infantile spasms may include, but are not limited to, P924L. Gain-of-function mutations associated with Brugada Syndrome may include, but are not limited to, R1106Q. Gain-of-function mutations associated with Brugada Syndrome may include, but are not limited to, R474H. [0096] In other examples, the subject is first genotyped to identify the presence of a mutation in KCNT1 and this mutation is then confirmed to be a gain-of-function mutation using standard in vitro assays, such as those described in Milligan et al. (2015) Ann Neurol. 75(4): 581- 590. Typically, the presence of a gain-of-function mutation is confirmed when the expression of the mutated KCNT1 allele results an increase in whole cell current compared to the whole cell current resulting from expression of wild-type KCNT1, as may be assessed using whole-cell electrophysiology (such as described in Milligan et al. (2015) Ann Neurol.75(4): 581-590; Barcia et al. (2012) Nat Genet. 44(11): 1255-1259; Mikati et al. (2015) Ann Neurol. 78(6): 995-999; or Rizzo et al. Mol Cell Neurosci. (2016) 72:54-63). This increase of whole cell current can be, for example, an increase of at least or about 50%, 100%, 150%, 200%, 250%, 300%, 350%, 400% or more. The subject can then be confirmed to have a disease or condition associated with a gain-of- function mutation in KCNT1. [0097] In particular examples, the subject is confirmed as having a KCNT1 allele containing a gain-of-function mutation (e.g. V271F, G288S, R398Q, R428Q, R474Q, R474H, R474C, G652V, I760M, Y796H, M896I, P924L, R928C or A934T). [0098] The compounds disclosed herein (e.g., a compound of Formula (I), (e.g., (I-a), (I- b), (I-c), (I-d), or (I-e)) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof) or the pharmaceutical composition disclosed herein (e.g., a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound disclosed herein (e.g., a compound of Formula (I), (e.g., (I-a), (I-b), (I-c), (I-d), or (I-e)) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof), and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient) can also be used therapeutically for conditions associated with excessive neuronal excitability where the excessive neuronal excitability is not necessarily the result of a gain-of-function mutation in KCNT1. Even in instances where the disease is not the result of increased KCNT1 expression and/or activity, inhibition of KCNT1 expression and/or activity can nonetheless result in a reduction in neuronal excitability, thereby providing a therapeutic effect. Thus, the compounds disclosed herein (e.g., a compound of Formula (I), (e.g., (I-a), (I-b), (I-c), (I-d), or (I-e)) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof) or the pharmaceutical composition disclosed herein (e.g., a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound disclosed herein (e.g., a compound of Formula (I), (e.g., (I-a), (I-b), (I-c), (I-d), or (I-e)) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof), and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient) can be used to treat a subject with conditions associated with excessive neuronal excitability, for example, epilepsy and other encephalopathies (e.g., EIMFS, ADNFLE, West syndrome, infantile spasms, epileptic encephalopathy, focal epilepsy, Ohtahara syndrome, developmental and epileptic encephalopathy, Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, seizures) or cardiac dysfunctions (e.g., cardiac arrhythmia, Brugada syndrome, myocardial infarction), regardless of whether or not the disorder is associated with a gain-of- function mutation in KCNT1. Pharmaceutical Compositions and Routes of Administration [0099] Compounds disclosed herein and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof are usually administered in the form of pharmaceutical compositions. Therefore, disclosed herein are pharmaceutical compositions that contain, as the active ingredient, one or more of the compounds described, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or ester thereof, and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients, carriers, including inert solid diluents and fillers, diluents, including sterile aqueous solution and various organic solvents, permeation enhancers, solubilizers and adjuvants. The pharmaceutical compositions may be administered alone or in combination with other therapeutic agents. Such compositions may be prepared in a manner disclosed in the pharmaceutical art, including, for example, in Remington’s Pharmaceutical Sciences, Mace Publishing Co., Philadelphia, Pa.17 ^th Ed. (1985); and Modern Pharmaceutics, Marcel Dekker, Inc. 3 ^rd Ed. (G. S. Banker & C. T. Rhodes, Eds.). [00100] The pharmaceutical compositions may be administered in either single or multiple doses by any of the accepted modes of administration of agents having similar utilities, for example as described in those patents and patent applications incorporated by reference, including rectal, buccal, intranasal and transdermal routes, by intra-arterial injection, intravenously, intraperitoneally, parenterally, intramuscularly, subcutaneously, orally, topically, as an inhalant, or via an impregnated or coated device such as a stent, for example, or an artery- inserted cylindrical polymer. [00101] One mode for administration is parenteral, particularly by injection. The forms in which the novel compositions disclosed herein may be incorporated for administration by injection include aqueous or oil suspensions, or emulsions, with sesame oil, corn oil, cottonseed oil, or peanut oil, as well as elixirs, mannitol, dextrose, or a sterile aqueous solution, and similar pharmaceutical vehicles. Aqueous solutions in saline are also conventionally used for injection. Ethanol, glycerol, propylene glycol, liquid polyethylene glycol, and the like (and suitable mixtures thereof), cyclodextrin derivatives, and vegetable oils may also be employed. The proper fluidity can be maintained, for example, by the use of a coating, such as lecithin, by the maintenance of the required particle size in the case of dispersion and by the use of surfactants. The prevention of the action of microorganisms can be brought about by various antibacterial and antifungal agents, for example, parabens, chlorobutanol, phenol, sorbic acid, thimerosal, and the like. [00102] Sterile injectable solutions are prepared by incorporating a compound or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as disclosed herein in the appropriate solvent with various other ingredients as enumerated above, as desired, followed by filtered sterilization. Generally, dispersions are prepared by incorporating the various sterilized active ingredients into a sterile vehicle which contains the basic dispersion medium and the desired other ingredients from those enumerated above. In the case of sterile powders for the preparation of sterile injectable solutions, exemplary methods of preparation include vacuum-drying and freeze-drying techniques which yield a powder of the active ingredient plus any additional desired ingredient from a previously sterile-filtered solution thereof. [00103] Oral administration is another route for administration of the compounds or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof as disclosed herein. Administration may be via capsule or enteric coated tablets, or the like. In making the pharmaceutical compositions that include at least one compound described herein, the active ingredient may be diluted by an excipient and/or enclosed within such a carrier that can be in the form of a capsule, sachet, paper or other container. When the excipient serves as a diluent, it can be in the form of a solid, semi-solid, or liquid material (as above), which acts as a vehicle, carrier or medium for the active ingredient. Thus, the compositions can be in the form of tablets, pills, powders, lozenges, sachets, cachets, elixirs, suspensions, emulsions, solutions, syrups, aerosols (as a solid or in a liquid medium), ointments containing, for example, up to 10% by weight of the active compound, soft and hard gelatin capsules, sterile injectable solutions, and sterile packaged powders. [00104] Some examples of suitable excipients include lactose, dextrose, sucrose, sorbitol, mannitol, starches, gum acacia, calcium phosphate, alginates, tragacanth, gelatin, calcium silicate, microcrystalline cellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone, cellulose, sterile water, syrup, and methyl cellulose. In certain embodiments, the compositions disclosed herein can additionally include: lubricating agents such as talc, magnesium stearate, and mineral oil; wetting agents; emulsifying and suspending agents; preserving agents such as methyl and propylhydroxy- benzoates; sweetening agents; and flavoring agents. [00105] The compositions disclosed herein can be formulated so as to provide quick, sustained or delayed release of the active ingredient after administration to the patient by employing procedures known in the art. Controlled release drug delivery systems for oral administration include osmotic pump systems and dissolutional systems containing polymer- coated reservoirs or drug-polymer matrix formulations. Examples of controlled release systems are given in U.S. Pat. Nos.3,845,770; 4,326,525; 4,902,514; and 5,616,345. Another embodiment for use in the methods disclosed herein employs transdermal delivery devices (“patches”). Such transdermal patches may be used to provide continuous or discontinuous infusion of the compounds or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof in controlled amounts. The construction and use of transdermal patches for the delivery of pharmaceutical agents is described, for example, in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,023,252, 4,992,445 and 5,001,139. Such patches may be constructed for continuous, pulsatile, or on-demand delivery of pharmaceutical agents. [00106] The compositions disclosed herein may be formulated in a unit dosage form. The term “unit dosage forms” refers to physically discrete units suitable as unitary dosages for human subjects and other mammals, each unit containing a predetermined quantity of active material calculated to produce the desired therapeutic effect, in association with a suitable pharmaceutical excipient (e.g., a tablet, capsule, ampoule). The compounds or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof are generally administered in a pharmaceutically effective amount. Preferably, for oral administration, each dosage unit contains from about 1 mg to about 2 g of a compound or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as described herein, and for parenteral administration, preferably from about 0.1 to about 700 mg of a compound or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as described herein. It will be understood, however, that the amount of the compound or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof actually administered usually will be determined by a physician, in the light of the relevant circumstances, including the condition to be treated, the chosen route of administration, the actual compound or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof administered and its relative activity, the age, weight, and response of the individual patient, the severity of the patient’s symptoms, and the like. [00107] For preparing solid compositions such as tablets, the principal active ingredient may be mixed with a pharmaceutical excipient to form a solid preformulation composition containing a homogeneous mixture of a compound or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. When referring to these preformulation compositions as homogeneous, it is meant that the active ingredient is dispersed evenly throughout the composition so that the composition may be readily subdivided into equally effective unit dosage forms such as tablets, pills and capsules. [00108] The tablets or pills disclosed herein may be coated or otherwise compounded to provide a dosage form affording the advantage of prolonged action, or to protect from the acid conditions of the stomach. For example, the tablet or pill can comprise an inner dosage and an outer dosage component, the latter being in the form of an envelope over the former. The two components can be separated by an enteric layer that serves to resist disintegration in the stomach and permit the inner component to pass intact into the duodenum or to be delayed in release. A variety of materials can be used for such enteric layers or coatings, such materials including a number of polymeric acids and mixtures of polymeric acids with such materials as shellac, cetyl alcohol, and cellulose acetate. [00109] Compositions for inhalation or insufflation include solutions and suspensions in pharmaceutically acceptable, aqueous or organic solvents, or mixtures thereof, and powders. The liquid or solid compositions may contain suitable pharmaceutically acceptable excipients as described herein. In certain embodiments, the compositions are administered by the oral or nasal respiratory route for local or systemic effect. Compositions in preferably pharmaceutically acceptable solvents may be nebulized by use of inert gases. Nebulized solutions may be inhaled directly from the nebulizing device or the nebulizing device may be attached to a facemask tent, or intermittent positive pressure breathing machine. Solution, suspension, or powder compositions may be administered, such as orally or nasally, from devices that deliver the formulation in an appropriate manner. [00110] In some embodiments, there is provided a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, as disclosed herein and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. EXAMPLES [00111] In order that the embodiments described herein may be more fully understood, the following examples are set forth. The synthetic and biological examples described in this application are offered to illustrate the compounds, pharmaceutical compositions and methods provided herein and are not to be construed in any way as limiting their scope. [00112] The compounds provided herein can be prepared from readily available starting materials using the following general methods and procedures. It will be appreciated that where typical or preferred process conditions (i.e., reaction temperatures, times, mole ratios of reactants, solvents, pressures, etc.) are given, other process conditions can also be used unless otherwise stated. Optimal reaction conditions may vary with the particular reactants or solvent used, but such conditions can be determined by one skilled in the art by routine optimization. [00113] Additionally, as will be apparent to those skilled in the art, conventional protecting groups may be necessary to prevent certain functional groups from undergoing undesired reactions. The choice of a suitable protecting group for a particular functional group as well as suitable conditions for protection and deprotection are described in the art. For example, numerous protecting groups, and their introduction and removal, are described in T. W. Greene and P. G. M. Wuts, Protecting Groups in Organic Synthesis, Second Edition, Wiley, New York, 1991, and references cited therein. [00114] The compounds provided herein may be isolated and purified by known standard procedures. Such procedures include recrystallization, filtration, flash chromatography, trituration, high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC), or supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC). Note that flash chromatography may either be performed manually or via an automated system. The compounds provided herein may be characterized by known standard procedures, such as nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) or liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LCMS). NMR chemical shifts are reported in part per million (ppm) and are generated using methods described in the art.

Mean current was measured during the step to 0 mV. 100 µM Bepridil was used to completely inhibit KCNT1 current to allow for offline subtraction of non-KCNT1 current. The average mean current from 3 sweeps was calculated and the % inhibition of each compound was calculated. The % Inhibition as a function of the compound concentration was fit with a Hill equation to derive IC ₅₀ , slope, min and max parameters. If KCNT1 inhibition was less than 50% at the highest tested concentration or if an IC ₅₀ could not be calculated, then a percent inhibition was reported in place of the IC ₅₀ . [00231] Results from this assay are summarized in Table 1 below. In this table, “A” indicates IC ₅₀ of less than or equal to1 µM; “B” indicates inhibition of between 1 µM to 20 µM; and “C” indicates inhibition of greater than or equal to 20 µM. N/A indicates not tested. [00232] Table 1

Equivalents and Scope [00232] In the claims articles such as “a,” “an,” and “the” may mean one or more than one unless indicated to the contrary or otherwise evident from the context. Claims or descriptions that include “or” between one or more members of a group are considered satisfied if one, more than one, or all of the group members are present in, employed in, or otherwise relevant to a given product or process unless indicated to the contrary or otherwise evident from the context. The invention includes embodiments in which exactly one member of the group is present in, employed in, or otherwise relevant to a given product or process. The disclosure includes embodiments in which more than one, or all of the group members are present in, employed in, or otherwise relevant to a given product or process. [00233] Furthermore, the embodiments encompass all variations, combinations, and permutations in which one or more limitations, elements, clauses, and descriptive terms from one or more of the listed claims is introduced into another claim. For example, any claim that is dependent on another claim can be modified to include one or more limitations found in any other claim that is dependent on the same base claim. Where elements are presented as lists, e.g., in Markush group format, each subgroup of the elements is also disclosed, and any element(s) can be removed from the group. It should it be understood that, in general, where the embodiment, or aspects of the embodiment, is/are referred to as comprising particular elements and/or features, certain embodiments or aspects of the embodiments consist, or consist essentially of, such elements and/or features. For purposes of simplicity, those embodiments have not been specifically set forth in haec verba herein. It is also noted that the terms “comprising” and “containing” are intended to be open and permits the inclusion of additional elements or steps. Where ranges are given, endpoints are included. Furthermore, unless otherwise indicated or otherwise evident from the context and understanding of one of ordinary skill in the art, values that are expressed as ranges can assume any specific value or sub–range within the stated ranges in different embodiments of the disclosure, to the tenth of the unit of the lower limit of the range, unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. [00234] This application refers to various issued patents, published patent applications, journal articles, and other publications, all of which are incorporated herein by reference. If there is a conflict between any of the incorporated references and the instant specification, the specification shall control. In addition, any particular embodiment of the present disclosure that falls within the prior art may be explicitly excluded from any one or more of the claims. Because such embodiments are deemed to be known to one of ordinary skill in the art, they may be excluded even if the exclusion is not set forth explicitly herein. Any particular embodiment can be excluded from any claim, for any reason, whether or not related to the existence of prior art. [00235] Those skilled in the art will recognize or be able to ascertain using no more than routine experimentation many equivalents to the specific embodiments described herein. The scope of the present embodiments described herein is not intended to be limited to the above Description, but rather is as set forth in the appended claims. Those of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that various changes and modifications to this description may be made without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention, as defined in the following claims.
