Abstract:

We studied the effects of a newly synthesized anti-ischaemic agent, 4-[3-(4-benzylpiperidin-1-yl) propionyl]-7-methoxy-2, 3, 4, 5-tetrahydro-1, 4-benzothiazepine monohydrochloride (JTV-519) on the delayed rectifier potassium current (IK), using guinea-pig ventricular myocytes and whole-cell voltage-clamp techniques, under blockade of the L-type calcium current (ICa,L) by D600 (1 microM) or nitrendipine (5 microM). The IK in guinea-pig ventricular cells consists of two different components; the rapidly activating, E4031-sensitive component (IKr) and the slowly activating E4031-resistant component (IKs). Under steady-state conditions, JTV-519 (1 and 5 microM) did not change the amplitude of IKs remaining after blockade of IKr with 5 microM E4031. The effect of JTV-519 on IKr was assessed using short (50 ms) pulses which evoked a tail current that was sensitive to E4031 but not to chromanol 293B, a specific blocker of IKs. JTV-519 suppressed the IKr with a half-maximal inhibitory concentration of 1.2 microM. Selective inhibition of IKr by this agent was confirmed by using the "envelope of tails" test. These results suggest that the blockade of IKr may underlie the prolongation of action potential duration in ventricular muscle and QT-intervals alleged to occur in animal as well as human hearts.
