Lack of Action Potential-Prolonging Effect of Terfenadine on Rabbit Myocardial Tissue Preparations

Abstract: It is well recognized that both cardiovascular and noncardiovascular drugs may promote arrhythmia.1) Clinical treatment with class I and class III antiarrhythmic agents as well as non-cardiovascular drugs such as terfenadine, cisapride, and haloperidol has been associated with QT prolongation and serious ventricular arrhythmia including torsades de pointes.2-6) Studies with animal myocardium have demonstrated that these drugs are able to prolong action potential duration (APD) through inhibition of the rapid c… Show more

“…4B); the peak amplitude of the tail current after a depolarizing pulse to 10 mV was 28.8 ± 0.3 pA / pF (n = 17). This outward tail current was previously shown to be inhibited by E-4031 and terfenadine (13). NIP-142, at 10 and 100 µM, concentration-dependently reduced the tail current on repolarization (Fig.…”

“…This vector, together with the vector pIREShrGFP-1α (Stratagene, Garden Grove, CA, USA), which encodes the green fluorescence protein (GFP), was introduced into HEK293 cells with lipofectamine (Invitrogen, Tokyo) and stable transformants were obtained by clone culture in the presence of G418 (500 µg/ ml), a neomycin analog. Stable transformants of HEK293 cells expressing HERG were obtained as described in our previous report (13). The cells expressing either channel were plated on glass coverslips 48 to 72 h before electrophysiological experiments.…”

“…Since then, the assessment of the risks incurred with noncardiovascular therapeutic agents for cardiac function has received great attention (13). Terfenadine inhibits the I Kr current in freshly isolated myocardial cells (14) and the hERG channel current expressed in HEK293 cells (15), but does not prolong the Action potential parameters of ventricular myocardia from 7 -10-day-old embryos, 11 -13-day-old embryos, 14 -20-day-old embryos, and 1 -7-day-old hatched chicks were obtained in the absence of agents. RP, OS, and V max indicate resting potential, overshoot, and maximum rate of phase-0 depolarization, respectively.…”
