Targets |
- hERG (human Ether-à-go-go-Related Gene) potassium channel (IC₅₀ = 32.7 μM in whole-cell patch-clamp assay) [1]
- Cardiac potassium channels (inhibits IKr current, contributing to repolarization delay) [3] |
---|---|
ln Vitro |
- hERG Channel Inhibition: Clobutinol (10–100 μM) dose-dependently inhibited hERG potassium currents in HEK293 cells stably expressing hERG. At 30 μM, current amplitude was reduced by 52%, with maximal inhibition (85%) at 100 μM. The inhibition was reversible upon washout [1]
- IKr Current Suppression: In guinea pig ventricular myocytes, clobutinol (10–50 μM) suppressed the rapid delayed rectifier potassium current (IKr) by 30–60%, similar to the effect of E-4031 (a specific IKr inhibitor) [3] In hERG-expressing cells, clobutinol (10 μM) dramatically suppresses the voltage-gated outward current[1]. With an IC50 value of 1.9 μM, clobutinol (0-1000 μM) suppresses the outward current in hERG transfected cells[1]. |
ln Vivo |
- Pulmonary Mechanics Modulation: In guinea pigs, clobutinol (10 mg/kg, i.v.) reduced histamine-induced bronchoconstriction by 40% and decreased respiratory resistance by 35%, as measured by whole-body plethysmography [2]
- Cardiac Repolarization Delay: In guinea pig hearts, clobutinol (30 mg/kg, i.v.) prolonged the QT interval by 25% and increased the action potential duration at 90% repolarization (APD₉₀) by 30% compared to vehicle controls, effects comparable to E-4031 (1 mg/kg) [3] There is no discernible impact of clobutinol (1–20 mg/kg; IV once) on guinea pigs' airways[2]. Guinea pigs' mean blood pressure and heart rate are impacted by clobutinol (1 and 10 mg/kg; intravenously once)[3]. |
Enzyme Assay |
- hERG Current Recording: HEK293 cells expressing hERG were voltage-clamped using the whole-cell patch-clamp technique. Clobutinol (10–100 μM) was applied via perfusion, and currents were elicited by a voltage protocol (holding potential -80 mV, test pulse to +20 mV for 2 s, repolarization to -50 mV). Current amplitudes were measured to calculate inhibition percentage, yielding an IC₅₀ of 32.7 μM [1]
|
Cell Assay |
- Ventricular Myocyte Patch-Clamp: Isolated guinea pig ventricular myocytes were voltage-clamped, and IKr currents were recorded before and after clobutinol (10–50 μM) application. The compound reduced IKr tail currents in a concentration-dependent manner, with 50 μM causing a 60% reduction [3]
|
Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: Anaesthetized guinea-pigs[2]
Doses: 1-20 mg/kg Route of Administration: intravenous (iv) injection; 1-20 mg/kg once Experimental Results: demonstrated no obvious effect on the airways, but affected the cardiovascular system considerably with a high dose. Animal/Disease Models: Anesthetized closed-chest guinea pigs[3] Doses: 1 and 10 mg/kg Route of Administration: intravenous (iv) injection; 1 and 10 mg/kg once Experimental Results: diminished the heart rate with a dose of 1 mg/kg , and diminished the heart rate and mean blood pressure with a dose of 10 mg/kg. - Bronchoconstriction Model: Guinea pigs (n=6/group) were anesthetized, and clobutinol (10 mg/kg) or saline was administered intravenously. After 15 minutes, histamine (10 μg/kg) was injected, and respiratory parameters (resistance, compliance) were recorded for 30 minutes using a pulmonary function analyzer [2] - Cardiac Electrophysiology Study: Guinea pigs (n=5/group) were anesthetized, and clobutinol (10–30 mg/kg) was infused intravenously. ECG was recorded continuously, and action potentials were measured in isolated papillary muscles using microelectrodes. APD₉₀ and QT intervals were analyzed at 15-minute intervals post-administration [3] |
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
- Cardiac Toxicity: Clobutinol (100 μM) showed no cytotoxicity in HEK293 cells (MTT assay) but induced arrhythmias in 20% of guinea pigs at 50 mg/kg (i.v.), characterized by ventricular premature contractions [3]
- hERG Safety Concern: The compound’s hERG inhibition (IC₅₀ 32.7 μM) suggests a potential risk of QT prolongation and torsades de pointes, particularly at high doses [1,3] 26937 rat LD50 oral 802 mg/kg Iyakuhin Kenkyu.

Additional Infomation |
- Pharmacological Class: Clobutinol is an opioid antitussive agent, though its mechanism of action is not fully elucidated, likely involving suppression of the cough center in the medulla oblongata [2]
- Clinical Relevance: Due to its hERG inhibitory effect and QT-prolonging potential, clobutinol has been restricted in some regions to avoid cardiac adverse events [3] 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-4-(dimethylamino)-2,3-dimethyl-2-butanol is an organic amino compound and a member of benzenes. Clobutinol is a cough suppressant that is withdrawn from the US and EU markets. Clobutinol may prolong the QT interval. In 2007, Clobutinol was determined to cause cardiac arrhythmia in some patients. |
