The effect of restacorin and flecainide on the early afterdepolarization (EAD) and on the delayed afterdepolarization (DAD) was studied in dog cardiac Purkinje fibers by applying the conventional microelectrode technique. Restacorin and flecainide at 5 microM concentration partially abolished EAD. Further increase of the concentrations of the drugs to 10 microM EADs were completely abolished. The amplitude of DADs were significantly decreased by both restacorin (9.9 +/- 2.1 mV v.s. 2.9 +/- 1.8 mV, p < 0.01, n = 5) and flecainide (11.1 +/- 1.3 mV v.s. 0.6 +/- 0.6 mV, p < 0.01, n = 7). These results suggest that the well-established antiarrhythmic effect of restacorin and flecainide at least partially may be explained by their beneficial action against triggered abnormal automaticity.

Comparison of the effects of restacorin and flecainide on various cardiac transmembrane potassium currents.

The effect of restacorin (5 microM) and flecainide (5 microM) on the transmembrane ionic currents was compared in dog and rabbit ventricular muscle by applying the conventional microelectrode and patch-clamp techniques. Neither restacorin nor flecainide influenced significantly the ATP-sensitive and inward rectifier potassium currents. Flecainide moderately decreased the amplitude of the transient outward current while restacorin did not change this current. The delayed rectifier potassium current was depressed markedly by flecainide and moderately by restacorin. These results suggest that although flecainide and restacorin cause similar changes in the various transmembrane ionic currents, there are some differences between the effects of the two antiarrhythmic compounds.

Restacorin, a new antiarrhythmic drug: a review of its electrophysiologic and hemodynamic properties.

Review

作者: Crinjns, H J ; Rabloczky, G ; Lie, K I ; Jonkman, J H ; Tuininga, Y S ; Kozma, C

Restacorin is a recently developed effective antiarrhythmic agent with primarily class Ic properties. The present paper reviews the electrophysiologic and hemodynamic effects of this compound. The major electrophysiologic effects are a depression of Vmax and an increase in AH, HV and QRS duration. The administration of restacorin does not induce significant side effects. In subjects with a normal left ventricular function, restacorin does not show negative inotropic effects. However, in patients with a decreased left ventricular function, restocorin produces a moderate negative inotropic effect.
