Abstract excerpt
Propafenone, a sodium channel blocking antiarrhythmic drug with beta-blocking properties, is metabolized to non-beta-blocking metabolites in part by cytochrome P4502D6. Subtherapeutic doses of quinidine inhibit P4502D6 and increase plasma propafenone in extensive metabolizer subjects, in whom the active enzyme is present. In this study we tested the hypothesis that quinidine would enhance beta-blockade in...
