Electrophysiological actions of a new antiarrhythmic drug, bisaramil, on isolated heart preparations.

abstract：:A major focus of contemporary drug screening strategies is the identification of novel anticancer compounds, which often results in underutilization of resources. Current drug evaluation involves in vivo tumor (xenograft) regression as proof-of-principle for cytotoxicity (POC). However, this end-point lacks any assess...
