| Description: | 293 cells stably transfected with Nav 1.5 were recorded in whole cell voltage clamp mode with the PatchXpress automated electrophysiology system according the manufacturer's specifications (Molecular Devices, LLC, Sunnyvale, Calif.). Cells were held at a holding potential of −50 mV to inactivate sodium channels. To elicit sodium currents the voltage was changed to −120 mV to recover a portion of the channels, followed by delivery of test pulses of 20 msec duration to 0 mV, at 0.1 Hz. A single concentration of test compound was applied to cells for a duration of 5 minutes. Peak sodium current was measured at the end of the compound addition period to determine percent inhibition. |
