hERG - Pharmacology of Bepridil, Dofetilide, Cisapride, Diltiazem (Results CiPA Phase I Study)

  Patchliner data and applications:
Cells were kindly provided by Charles River.

The effect of four compounds on hERG currents were investigated, using the CiPA voltage step protocol. Measured on the Patchliner the perforated patch methodology (Escin) and multi-hole chips (4 holes per well) were used. The IC₅₀ value of Cisapride was determined as 112 nM, Bepridil as 178 nM, Dofetilide as 33.9 nM and Diltiazem as 14.5 µM.
