Fig. 5. Effects of the high, intermediate, and low Torsades de Pointes risk drugs on ICa channel in human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes.
To elicit the ICa current, a –50 mV holding potential was used, followed by a 300 ms depolarization to 0 mV. The ICa currents were isolated by eliminating the IKr currents using 2 mM and 4-aminopyridine in the external solution. (A) Representative traces demonstrating the effect of sotalol on the ICa channel at 14.69, 44.07, and 146.9 μM. (B) Summary of panel (A) (mean ± SEM, n = 3). (C) Representative traces demonstrating the effect of chlorpromazine on the ICa channel at 0.03, 0.09, and 0.3 μM. (D) Summary of panel (C) (mean ± SEM, n = 3). (E) Representative traces demonstrating the effect of mexiletine on the ICa channel at 2.5, 7.5, and 25 μM. (F) Summary of panel (E) (mean ± SEM, n = 3).
