Abstract excerpt
Chloroquine and related compounds can inhibit inwardly rectifying potassium channels by multiple potential mechanisms, including pore block and allosteric effects on channel gating. Motivated by reports that chloroquine inhibition of cardiac ATP-sensitive inward rectifier K(+) current (I(KATP)) is antifibrillatory in rabbit ventricle, we investigated the mechanism of chloroquine inhibition of ATP-sensitive...
