Application

Azimilide dihydrochloride may be used in the electrophysiology experiments with human ether-a-go-go-related gene 1a (HERG1a) subunit.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Azimilide is an inhibitor of human ether-a-go-go-related gene (HERG) channel. It displays a decrease in inhibitory effect in acidic pH conditions.
Azimilide is an investigational class III anti-arrhythmic drug that blocks fast and slow components of the delayed rectifier cardiac potassium channels. It inhibits KV7.1 and KV11.1 potassium channels. Azimilide′s block of K+ currents is relatively selective for IKr over IKs: It potently blocks the rapidly activating component of the delayed rectifier, IKr (IC50 0.4 mM), and inhibits IKs (IC50 3 mM) with nearly 10-fold less potency. At 10 mM, it does not block the inward rectifier K+ current. It blocks (10 mM) the L-type Ca2+ current (ICa) in a use-dependent manner.
