General description

Propafenone hydrochloride is a calcium antagonist. It functions as a Na+ and K+ channel blocker. It might be used to treat patients with systemic hypertension. Propafenone hydrochloride is associated with bradycardia and bronchospasms. It is metabolized in the liver. Propafenone hydrochloride is used to treat ventricular arrhythmias.

Application

Propafenone hydrochloride has been used in the isolation of cardiomyocytes.

A liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method, using pneumatically assisted electrospray ionization was developed for the determination of amiodarone, desethylamiodarone, propafenone, N-depropylpropafenone, 5-OH-propafenone, flecainide, and sotalol in human antemortem and postmortem whole blood. A mixture of methanol and acetonitrile was used

Previously reported studies identified analogues of propafenone that had potent antimalarial activity, reduced cardiac ion channel activity, and properties that suggested the potential for clinical development for malaria. Careful examination of the bioavailability, pharmacokinetics, toxicology, and efficacy of this series

1. The goal of this study was to analyse the effects of propafenone and its major metabolite, 5-hydroxy-propafenone, on a human cardiac K+ channel (hKv1.5) stably expressed in Ltk- cells and using the whole-cell configuration of the patch-clamp technique. 2.

Propafenone, a class I antiarrhythmic agent, inhibits several membrane currents (I(Na), I(Ca), I(K), Ito), however, its effects on ATP-sensitive potassium current (I(K)ATP) of cardiac cells have not been tested. We evaluated the blocking effects of 0.1 to 100 microM propafenone

Journal of medicinal chemistry, 54(21), 7477-7485 (2011-10-01)
Propafenone, a class Ic antiarrythmic drug, inhibits growth of cultured Plasmodium falciparum. While the drug's potency is significant, further development of propafenone as an antimalarial would require divorcing the antimalarial and cardiac activities as well as improving the pharmacokinetic profile
