Inhibition of hERG K+ currents by antimalarial drugs in stably transfected HEK293 cells.

Abstract:

:Several antimalarial drugs are known to produce a QT interval prolongation via a blockade of the rapidly activating delayed rectifier K+ current (IKr), encoded by the human-ether-a-go-go-related gene (hERG). We investigated the influence of lumefantrine and its major metabolite desbutyl-lumefantrine, as well as halofantrine, chloroquine, and mefloquine, on wild type hERG K+ channels in stably transfected human embryonic kidney cells (HEK293) using the whole cell patch-clamp technique. All of the tested antimalarial drugs inhibited the hERG K+ channels in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. Only halofantrine blocked hERG tail currents voltage-dependently. The ranking of the half-maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC50) of the antimalarials was: halofantrine (0.04 microM)

  • Evidence that the purported dopaminergic agonist (3,4-dihydroxyphenylimino)-2-imidazolidine (DPI) may reduce rat striatal dopamine turnover by an alpha 2-adrenergic mechanism.

    abstract::The potent alpha-adrenergic agonist DPI, which has also been claimed to be a selective dopaminergic agonist, was shown to reduce rat striatal dopamine (DA) synthesis, DA utilization and DA metabolism following intraperitoneal administration (25 mumol/kg).
