Bioactivity | Ibutilide (U70226E free base), an action potential-prolonging antiarrhythmic, is a potent blocker of the rapidly activating delayed rectifier K+ current (IKr) in AT-1 cells[1]. |
Invitro | Ibutilide is a potent IKr blocker with an EC50 value of 20 nM at +20 mV in atrial tumor myocytes (AT-1) cells[1]. Ibutilide blocks IKr in cells expressing HERG+MDR1*1 to the same extent as cells expressing HERG alone (IC50: 22.5 nM vs 27.4 nM). However, cells expressing MDR1*7 show a marked resistance to Ibutilide (IC50: 105.3 nM vs 27.4 nM)[2]. |
In Vivo | Ibutilide prolongs cardiac repolarization in vitro and in vivo[1].Ibutilide infusions (administered cumulatively in three doses, 0.01, 0.02 and 0.05 mg/kg i.v., each as a 10-min infusion) results in both polymorphic and monomorphic non-sustained ventricular tachycardia[3]. Animal Model: |
