Abstract

Propafenone (PF) is a class 1C antiarrhythmic agent. To study the mechanisms of PF interactions with dietary nutrients in isolated, perfused rat livers, metabolites of PF in liver perfusate were identified and an analytical method was developed for these metabolites plus parent drug. Identification of phase I metabolites was performed using HPLC/MS equipped with a Lichrospher RP-18 column and tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) with electrospray and atmospheric pressure chemical ionizations. Three major metabolite peaks, whose protonated molecular ions were m/z 358, 358 and 300, were identified as a propafenone derivative hydroxylated in the omega-phenyl ring (omega-OH-PF), 5-hydroxypropafenone (5-OH-PF), and N-despropylpropafenone (N-des-PF). The levels of omega-OH-PF, 5-OH-PF, N-des-PF and PF were determined simultaneously by HPLC with UV detection at 210 nm and a mobile phase of 0.03% triethylamine and 0.05% phosphoric acid in water-acetonitrile-methanol (45:20:35, v/v/v) after extraction with 5 ml diethyl ether at pH 10.0 and evaporation of solvent under nitrogen. The results revealed that omega-OH-PF, which was not found in humans, was the major metabolite of PF in rat liver perfusate, not 5-OH-PF which is the major metabolit...Continue Reading

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.

Antiarrhythmic Agents: Mechanisms of Action

Understanding the mechanism of action of antiarrhythmic agents is essential in developing new medications as treatment of cardiac arrhythmias is currently limited by the reduced availability of safe and effective drugs. Discover the latest research on Antiarrhythmic Agents: Mechanism of Action here.

Anti-Arrhythmic Drug Therapies

Anti-arrhythmic drugs are used to prevent abnormal heart rhythms. These medications are used in conditions including, ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation and atrial fibrillation. Discover the latest research on anti-arrhythmic drug therapies here.
