Application

(±)-Sotalol hydrochloride has been used to test its effect on the cardiac action potential (AP) in human hearts. It has also been used as an β- blocker to determine its effect on free intracellular calcium (Ca2+) release and whole-cell currents in mammalian cancer cells.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Potent β-adrenoceptor antagonist; class III antiarrhythmic; prolongs the action potential and increases the refractory period.
Sotalol has a potential to block non-cardioselective β-adrenergic receptors. It acts as an anti-arrhythmic agent and is used as a therapeutic for equine arrhythmias. In addition, sotalol also has an ability to stop atrial fibrillation recurrence.

Catecholamines antagonize the efficacy of several class III antiarrhythmic agents. To determine the role of the intrinsic beta-adrenergic blocking property of dl-sotalol in maintaining class III efficacy during a high-catecholamine state, we compared the electrophysiological properties of dl-sotalol with those
