State dependent dissociation of HERG channel inhibitors [PDF]
Background and purpose:Inhibition of HERG channels prolongs the ventricular action potential and the QT interval with the risk of torsade de pointes arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. Many drugs induce greater inhibition of HERG channels when the cell membrane is depolarized frequently.

Saxitoxin Is a Gating Modifier of hERG K+ Channels [PDF]
Potassium (K+) channels mediate numerous electrical events in excitable cells, including cellular membrane potential repolarization. The hERG K+ channel plays an important role in myocardial repolarization, and inhibition of these K+ channels is associated with long QT syndromes that can cause fatal cardiac arrhythmias.

Astemizole Derivatives as Fluorescent Probes for hERG Potassium Channel Imaging
The detection and imaging of hERG potassium channels in living cells can provide useful information for hERG-correlation studies. Herein, three small-molecule fluorescent probes, based on the potent hERG channel inhibitor astemizole, for the imaging of ...

The hERG potassium channel as a therapeutic target
Expert Opinion on Therapeutic Targets, 2007The hERG (human ether-à-go-go-related gene) potassium channel has elicited intense scientific interest due to its counter-intuitive kinetics and its association with arrhythmia and sudden death. hERG blockade is involved in both antiarrhythmic pharmacotherapy and the pathogenesis of familial and acquired long QT syndrome (LQTS). Short QT syndrome (SQTS)

Molecular Determinants of hERG Channel Block
Molecular Pharmacology, 2006Drug-induced block of cardiac hERG K+ channels causes acquired long QT syndrome. Here, we characterized the molecular mechanism of hERG block by two low-potency drugs (Nifekalant and bepridil) and two high-potency drugs 1-[2-(6-methyl-2pyridyl)ethyl]-4-(4-methylsulfonyl aminobenzoyl)piperidine (E-4031) and dofetilide).

hERG potassium channels and cardiac arrhythmia
Nature, 2006hERG potassium channels are essential for normal electrical activity in the heart. Inherited mutations in the HERG gene cause long QT syndrome, a disorder that predisposes individuals to life-threatening arrhythmias. Arrhythmia can also be induced by a blockage of hERG channels by a surprisingly diverse group of drugs.
