苄基四氢巴马汀对豚鼠心室肌细胞快激活延迟整流钾电流的作用

目的研究苄基四氢巴马汀(BTHP)对心室肌细胞快激活(I_kr)延迟整流钾电流的作用。方法 用全细胞膜片钳技术记录豚鼠心室肌细胞钾离子通道电流。结果BTHP在1～100 μmol·L^-1以浓度依赖性方式阻滞I_kr,其IC₅₀为13.5 μmol·L^-1(95%可信范围:11.2～15.8 μmol·L^-1)。30 μmol·L^-1 BTHP可使I_kr及I_kr,tail分别降低(31±4)%和(36±5)% (N=6,P<0.01)。与多数III类抗心律失常药物不同,BTHP可频率依赖性地抑制I_kr。该药主要改变I_kr的失活过程,可使I_kr的失活时间常数(τ)从(238±16) ms降至(196±14) ms,而对I_kr的激活动力学影响不大。结论BTHP对I_kr有明显的抑制作用,且其阻滞作用呈现频率依赖性特征。

EFFECTS OF BENZYLTETRAHYDROPALMATINE ON THE RAPIDLY ACTIVATING COMPONENT OF DELAYED RECTIFIER POTASSIUM CURRENT IN GUINEA PIG VENTRICULAR MYOCYTES

AIM: To investigate the effect of benzyltetrahydropalmatine (BTHP) on the rapidly activating component of delayed rectifier K+ current (Ikr) in single guinea pig ventricular myocytes. METHODS: Whole-cell patch clamp technique was used to record Ikr. RESULTS: Ikr was blocked by 1-100 mumol.L-1 BTHP in concentration-, voltage-, and specifically frequency-dependent fashion, with IC50 of 13.5 mumol.L-1 (95% confidence range: 11.2-15.8 mumol.L-1). 30 mumol.L-1 BTHP reduced Ikr and Ikr.tail by (31 +/- 4)% and (36 +/- 5)% (n = 6, P < 0.01), respectively. The time constant for deactivation (tau') of the tail current was decreased by 30 mumol.L-1 BTHP from (238 +/- 16) ms to (196 +/- 14) ms, while drug had no any effect on the time constant for activation (tau) of Ikr,tail. CONCLUSION: BTHP inhibited Ikr in a frequency-dependent fashion.
