| Targets |
Vernakalant targets sodium (Na+) and potassium (K+) channels. It is a mixed voltage- and frequency-dependent blocker of these channels. By blocking atrial potassium channels, it prolongs repolarization and terminates atrial fibrillation. Its atrial selectivity may reduce the risk of ventricular proarrhythmia.

| ln Vitro |
Since vernakalant starts to block channel current very quickly following depolarization, blockade of Kv1.5 by vernakalant hydrochloride is mediated after channel activation; nonetheless, there is minimal evidence of channel stasis. obstruction caused by breathing or "tonic" After channel opening in the presence of 10 μM Vernakalant, there was an obvious and quick blocking, and steady-state current levels were quickly achieved. The most significant result was a 25-fold reduction in the effectiveness of vernakalant, which was centered on I502A and had an IC50 of 329±19 μM (n=4–10) compared to 13.4±0.9 μM (n=5-23) for the control group. Smaller potency reductions, ranging from three to four times, were seen at Kv1.5 in V505A, I508A, T480A, and C500A. In our research, I508Y raised Vernakalant's IC50 at Kv1.5 to 24.7 μM, which is once more in line with the hERG value that has been published [1].
In vitro, vernakalant blocks sodium and potassium channels in a voltage- and frequency-dependent manner. It prolongs the atrial effective refractory period and terminates re-entrant arrhythmias. Its atrial selectivity has been demonstrated in electrophysiological studies. |
| ln Vivo |
Vernakalant is used in vivo for the acute conversion of atrial fibrillation. It is administered intravenously at doses of 2 to 5 mg/kg. It has been shown to be effective in terminating acute atrial fibrillation in humans. Its atrial selectivity may reduce the risk of ventricular proarrhythmia.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
Vernakalant is an ion channel blocker, and its in vitro activity is assessed in electrophysiological assays. In a typical assay, the compound is applied to cells expressing sodium or potassium channels, and the effect on ion currents is measured using patch-clamp techniques. The voltage- and frequency-dependence of block is assessed.
|
| Cell Assay |
Vernakalant is dissolved in DMSO and applied to cultured cells at concentrations ranging from 1 nM to 10 µM. The effect on ion currents is measured using patch-clamp techniques.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Vernakalant HCl has a molecular weight of 385.93 g/mol and a molecular formula of C20H32ClNO4. It is an investigational antiarrhythmic agent. The compound is typically stored as a powder at -20°C for long-term stability. Vernakalant HCl is also known as RSD1235.

Drug Indication
For the rapid conversion of recently diagnosed adult atrial fibrillation to sinus rhythm: Suitable for non-surgical patients: atrial fibrillation. Vernakalant HCl is an investigational drug for the acute conversion of atrial fibrillation. It is a mixed voltage- and frequency-dependent blocker of sodium (Na+) and potassium (K+) channels. Like other class III antiarrhythmics, vernakalant blocks atrial potassium channels, thereby prolonging repolarization. Vernakalant HCl is a mixed ion channel blocker that can terminate acute atrial fibrillation (AF) in humans at 2 to 5 mg/kg. |

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
