hERG - Pharmacology of Sotalol, Terfenadine, Verapamil (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 Sotalol was determined as 157 µM, Terfenadine as 82.8 nM and Verapamil as 485 nM.
