Effects of amlodipine on native cardiac Na+ channels and cloned α-subunits of cardiac Na+ channels
2011
The inhibitory effects of amlodipine besilate (CAS 11470-99-6) on the native Na+ current (INa) and cloned human cardiac Na+ channel alpha subunit (hH1) were studied by whole cell patch clamp techniques. Amlodipine produced tonic block of INa in a concentration- and holding potential (HP)-dependent manner with hyperpolarization of H infinity. Amlodipine produced phasic blockade of INa, which was dependent on HP and pulse duration. Amlodipine produced tonic blockade of hH1 in a concentration-dependent manner with 1 : 1 stoichiometry, and phasic blockade of hH1 which was dependent on the pulse duration. Amlodipine blocked INa in a voltage- and frequency-dependent manner via affinity to the resting as well as inactivated conformations of the alpha subunit.
