Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Evaluation of Action on hERG IKr Current
Description:  Using HEK293 cell overexpressing a human ether-a-go-go-related gene (hERG), the maximum tale current of the hERG IKr current induced by redepolarization pulse subsequent to depolarization pulse was measured by a patch-clamp method. The change rate (inhibition rate) of the 10 minutes after application of the test compound, with respect to the maximum tale current before application of the test compound, was calculated (see, Biophysical Journal, Vol. 74, 230-241 (1998)). The results are shown in Table 5. As is apparent from Table 5, the compounds shown in Table 5 as the representative examples of the compounds of the present invention showed that the 50% inhibitory activity of hERG channel thereof were >10 μM and less possibility of inducing Q-T extension due to drug, showing that the compounds the present invention had excellent safety.
