Novel Quinolizidinyl Derivatives as Antiarrhythmic Agents

, 2007
Eighteen analogues of lidocaine, mexiletine, and procainamide were synthesized, replacing their aminoalkyl chains with the rigid and cumbersome quinolizidine nucleus.

Computational modelling of the pro‐ and antiarrhythmic effects of atrial high rate‐dependent trafficking of small‐conductance calcium‐activated potassium channels

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Small‐conductance calcium‐activated potassium (SK) channels are important for atrial repolarization and can be targeted for atrial‐specific antiarrhythmic treatments. We developed a computational model with a calcium sensor to study the effects of increased pacing rate (5 Hz), which enhances SK‐channel gating and forward ...

Computational modelling of cardiac fibroblast signalling reveals a key role for Ca2+ in driving atrial fibrillation‐associated fibrosis

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend A pre‐existing fibroblast signalling model was enhanced by integrating atrial‐specific components and reactions linked to atrial fibrosis and atrial fibrillation (AF). The analysis highlights the central role of Ca2⁺ signalling in driving profibrotic responses to AF‐relevant stimuli, angiotensin‐II and transforming growth factor ...

Mechanistic insights into sex differences in atrial electrophysiology and arrhythmia vulnerability through sex‐specific computational models

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Sex‐specific models of the human atrial myocyte in normal sinus rhythm (nSR) and chronic atrial fibrillation (cAF) revealed increased alternans susceptibility in cAF males and DADs in females, driven primarily by ICaL and ryanodine receptor remodelling.

Small‐conductance Ca2⁺‐activated K⁺ channels in cardiac excitation–contraction coupling: Bridging mitochondria, sarcolemma and antiarrhythmic therapy

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Mitochondrial SK channel enhancement reduces cardiac arrhythmia trigger. Spontaneous sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ release via hyperactive RyR2s underlies an increased arrhythmia trigger, promoting early and delayed afterdepolarizations during stress. Hyperactive RyR2s causes rise in cytosolic [Ca2+] during diastole. Clearance

Caenorhabditis elegans as an in vivo model system for human inherited primary arrhythmia syndromes

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Most genes involved in inherited primary arrhythmia syndromes (IPAS) are conserved in Caenorhabditis elegans, where genetic manipulation enables functional characterization of variants, identification of regulatory proteins, and in vivo drug testing.

The interplay between dynamic regulation of ion‐channel gating and trafficking in cardiac arrhythmogenesis

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Cardiac cellular electrophysiology is modulated by multiple factors, including temperature, extracellular K+, heart rate/pacing frequency, and drugs. These modulators can have distinct effects on ion‐channel gating and transcription/trafficking over time.
