Product Description
Product Describtion:
Vernakalant hydrochloride is a mixed voltage- and frequency-dependent Na+ and atria-preferred K+ channel blocker. IC50 for block by Vernakalant of wild-type and mutant Kv1.5 channels Fractional block is 13.35±0.93 μM, 0.61±0.03 μM, and 1.63±0.09 μM for Kv1.5 channelwt, Kv1.5 channelI508F, Kv1.5 channelT479A, respectively.
This compound belongs to the class of organic compounds known as tyrosols and derivatives. These are compounds containing a hydroxyethyl group attached to the C4 carbon of a phenol group.
