General description

A potent and selective inhibitor of the inactivating inward-rectifying potassium current (IK,IR) (IC50 = 10 nM). In inside-out patches, E-4031 also blocks ATP sensitive K+ channel (EC50 = 31 µM). A specific blocker of cardiac HERG channels (IC50 = 7.7 nM). A class III anti-arrhythmic agent with differential atrial versus ventricular activity.
