Abstract excerpt
A number of clinically used drugs block delayed rectifier K+ channels and prolong the duration of cardiac action potentials associated with long QT syndrome. This study investigated the molecular mechanisms of voltage-dependent inhibition of human ether-a-go-go-related gene (HERG) delayed rectifier K+ channels expressed in HEK-293 cells by brompheniramine, an antihistamine. Brompheniramine inhibited HERG current...
