DescriptionQuinidine is a stereoisomer of the antimalarial agent quinine and a class Ia antiarrhythmic agent. Quinidine blocks the voltage-gated sodium (Nav) channel Nav1.5 in a use-dependent manner. It decreases the amplitude and duration of action potentials in isolated canine ventricular myocytes. It inhibits KKr, peak INa, and late INa (IC50s = 4.5, 11, and 12 μM, respectively) and can induce torsade de pointes in isolated rabbit hearts when used at a concentration of 1 μM. Quinidine induces QT prolongation in dogs. It also binds to M2 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (Ki = 7.5 μM for human recombinant receptors expressed in HM2-B10 cells). Formulations containing quinidine have been used in the treatment of atrial fibrillation and ventricular arrhythmias.
DescriptionQuinidine is a commonly used class I antiarrhythmic drug. It is a stereoisomer of quinine, originally derived from the bark of the cinchona tree. It exerts its antiarrhythmic effects on the heart by interacting with the electrophysiology mechanisms that cause arrhythmias to modify the abnormalities in impulse initiation and conduction. Quinidine depresses normal automaticity in cardiac fibers that may act as ectopic pacemakers causing arrhythmias. Quinidine also blocks the slowly inactivating, tetrodotoxin-sensitive Na current, the slow inward calcium current (ICa), the rapid (IKr) and slow (IKs) components of the delayed potassium rectifier current, the inward potassium rectifier current (IKI), the ATP-sensitive potassium channel (IKATP) and Ito.
HistoryIn 1820, the French chemists Pierre Pelletier and Joseph Caventou extracted some alkaloids from the cinchona bark, including quinine and quinidine. Subsequently, quinine was demonstrated to play a very important role in the treatment of malaria after a number of scientific researches. Quinidine is the dextroisomer of quinine and has the similar pharmacological properties as quinine, but quinidine’s effects are five to ten times stronger on the heart than quinine.
UsesQuinidine occurs in cinchona bark to about0.25–0.3% and also in cuprea bark. It is present in quinine sulfate mother liquor. Itis formed by isomerization of quinine. Itis used in the prevention of certain cardiacarrhythmias.
