Micro-electrode arrays in cardiac safety pharmacology: a novel tool to study QT interval prolongation

Drug Safety : an International Journal of Medical Toxicology and Drug Experience
Thomas MeyerMichael Fejtl

Abstract

Drug-induced QT interval prolongation is now a major concern in safety pharmacology. Regulatory authorities such as the US FDA and the European Medicines Agency require in vitro testing of all drug candidates against the potential risk for QT interval prolongation prior to clinical trials. Common in vitro methods include organ models (Langendorff heart), conventional electrophysiology on cardiac myocytes, and heterologous expression systems of human ether-a-go-go-related gene (hERG) channels. A novel approach is to study electrophysiological properties of cultured cardiac myocytes by micro-electrode arrays (MEA). This technology utilises multi channel recording from an array of embedded substrate-integrated extracellular electrodes using cardiac tissue from the ventricles of embryonic chickens. The detected field potentials allow a partial reconstruction of the shape and time course of the underlying action potential. In particular, the duration of action potentials of ventricular myocytes is closely related to the QT interval on an ECG. This novel technique was used to study reference substances with a reported QT interval prolonging effect. These substances were E4031, amiodarone, quinidine and sotalol. These substances show ...Continue Reading

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.

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.
