Bepridil is effective for conversion of atrial fibrillation to sinus rhythm and in the treatment of drug-refractory ventricular tachyarrhythmias. We investigated the effects of bepridil on electrophysiological properties and spiral-wave (SW) reentry in a 2-dimensional ventricular muscle layer of isolated

The two proteases beta-secretase and gamma-secretase generate the amyloid beta peptide and are drug targets for Alzheimer's disease. Here we tested the possibility of targeting the cellular environment of beta-secretase cleavage instead of the beta-secretase enzyme itself. beta-Secretase has an

1. Bepridil (BPD) is a pharmacological compound able to bind to the Ca2+ sensor protein troponin C (TnC), which triggers skeletal muscle contraction upon Ca2+-binding. BPD can thereby modulate the Ca2+-affinity of this protein. 2. The Ca2+-sensitizing action of bepridil
Pharmacological conversion to sinus rhythm is generally difficult to achieve, particularly in long-lasting persistent atrial fibrillation (AF). The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of two agents, amiodarone and bepridil, in achieving conversion to sinus rhythm in

Drug-drug interactions involving hepatic drug transporters may have clinical consequences and jeopardize development of promising drug candidates. Organic anion transporting polypeptides (OATP/Oatp) and the organic cation transporters (OCT/Oct) are among the most important transporters involved in xenobiotic uptake in the
