HERG (human ether-à-go-go-related gene) channels (underlying \(I_{\mathrm{Kr}}\) conductance) (IC50 = 1.4 ± 0.2 μM at 0.1 Hz; IC50 = 5.2 ± 0.2 μM at 1 Hz) [1]
\(I_{\mathrm{Ks}}\) channels (heteropolymers of \(I_{\mathrm{sk}}\)/KvLQT1 protein subunits) (IC50 = 2.6 ± 0.1 μM; IC50 = 3.1 ± 0.2 μM at 10 mM \([K^{+}]_{\mathrm{e}}\)) [1] |

Azimilide blocked HERG channels expressed in Xenopus oocytes in a concentration-dependent manner. The block was completely reversible within 15 minutes of washout. The concentration-response relationship for HERG tail currents yielded an IC50 of 5.2 ± 0.2 μM and a Hill coefficient ≈ 1 at a stimulation frequency of 1 Hz. [1]
Azimilide blockade of HERG channels was reverse use-dependent. At a lower channel activation frequency (0.1 Hz), the interpolated IC50 was 1.4 ± 0.2 μM. [1] Azimilide block of HERG channels increased with increasing channel activation duration, indicating binding to open channels, as demonstrated by an envelope of tails test. [1] Azimilide did not affect the rate of HERG channel deactivation; deactivation time constants (\( \tau_{\mathrm{deact}} \)) were similar in control (0.33 ± 0.02 s) and in the presence of 2 μM azimilide (0.31 ± 0.02 s). [1] Azimilide block of HERG channels was voltage-independent. With 3 μM azimilide, block was 48.5 ± 2.3% at -20 mV and 51.6 ± 2.4% at 40 mV. [1] Azimilide did not significantly alter the rate of HERG channel inactivation; inactivation time constants were 14.0 ± 0.6 ms (control) and 12.5 ± 0.4 ms (with 3 μM azimilide). The HERG S631A mutant, which inactivates to a lesser extent, showed similar sensitivity to azimilide (IC50 = 2.6 ± 0.4 μM) as wild-type channels. [1] Azimilide blocked native \(I_{\mathrm{Kr}}\) currents in mouse AT-1 cells in a concentration-dependent manner with an IC50 of 1 μM. [1] Azimilide blocked \(I_{\mathrm{Ks}}\) channels expressed in Xenopus oocytes by human \(I_{\mathrm{sK}}\) protein in a concentration-dependent manner, with an IC50 of 2.6 ± 0.1 μM. [1] |
| Enzyme Assay |
HERG channel block in Xenopus oocytes: Two-microelectrode voltage-clamp configuration was used to record currents from Xenopus laevis oocytes injected with cRNA encoding HERG channels. Recordings were performed at 22°C. The control solution contained (in mM): NaCl 96, KCl 2, CaCl2 1.8, MgCl2 1, HEPES 5 (titrated to pH 7.4 with NaOH). In some experiments, KCl was raised to 10 mM. Microelectrodes were filled with 3 M KCl and had resistances of 0.5-0.9 MΩ. HERG currents were evoked by depolarizing pulses from a holding potential, and tail currents were recorded upon repolarization. [1]
\(I_{\mathrm{Kr}}\) current recording in mouse AT-1 cells: Whole-cell voltage-clamp recordings were performed using a List EPC-7 amplifier. AT-1 cells were superfused with HEPES-buffered saline (HBS) containing (in mM): NaCl 132, KCl 4, CaCl2 1.8, MgCl2 1.2, HEPES 10, glucose 10; pH 7.2 at 24-26°C. Microelectrodes (3-7 MΩ) were filled with a solution containing (in mM): KCl 110, K-BAPTA 5, K2ATP 5, MgCl2 1, HEPES 10; pH 7.2. Series resistance was compensated by 40-70%. Cells were held at -40 mV to inactivate sodium and T-type calcium currents. L-type calcium current was blocked with nisoldipine (0.4-1 μM). \(I_{\mathrm{Kr}}\) currents were elicited by depolarizing test pulses. [1] \(I_{\mathrm{Ks}}\) channel block in Xenopus oocytes: Two-microelectrode voltage-clamp was used to record currents from oocytes expressing human \(I_{\mathrm{sK}}\) protein. \(I_{\mathrm{Ks}}\) channels were activated with 15-second depolarizing voltage steps from -80 mV to -10 mV at 45-second intervals. The effects of azimilide were evaluated in the presence of 2 mM and 10 mM \([K^{+}]_{\mathrm{e}}\). [1] |
| Cell Assay |
AT-1 cell preparation and culture: AT-1 cells were propagated in vivo by subcutaneous injection into syngenic host mice (female 2-3 Mo, B6D2F1/J). Tumors were used to isolate and culture AT-1 cells. Prior to voltage-clamp studies, cells were treated with trypsin to detach them from culture dishes and were stored in PC-1 culture medium at 22-24°C. Cells were studied between days 6 and 18 of culture and within 14 hours of isolation. [1]

| Additional Infomation |
Azimilide is a class III antiarrhythmic agent that blocks both cardiac delayed rectifier potassium channels, \(I_{\mathrm{Ks}}\) and \(I_{\mathrm{Kr}}\) (HERG). [1]
The relative contribution of \(I_{\mathrm{Ks}}\) versus \(I_{\mathrm{Kr}}\) block by azimilide to its antiarrhythmic action is expected to depend on conditions such as heart frequency, extracellular potassium concentration (\([K^{+}]_{\mathrm{e}}\)), and β-adrenoceptor-mediated tone. At low heart rates, azimilide is expected to prolong action potential duration principally by blocking \(I_{\mathrm{Kr}}\). At elevated heart rates and/or β-adrenoceptor-mediated tone, \(I_{\mathrm{Ks}}\) blockade becomes more important for its action. [1] Unlike many other HERG channel blockers, azimilide exhibits reverse use-dependence, voltage-independent block, and does not accelerate HERG channel inactivation. [1] |
