More Info:

Product Data:
Biological target: Quinidine is a potent, orally active, selective cytochrome P450db inhibitor. Quinidine is also a K+ channel blocker with an IC50 of 19.9 μM, and can induce apoptosis.
In vitro activity: Before advancing to clinical trials, new drugs are screened for their pro-arrhythmic potential. Significant AP prolongation (a pro-arrhythmia marker) was seen in response to quinidine. This study developed an in silico-in vitro pipeline that identifies pro-arrhythmia risk and mechanism of ion channel-blocking drugs. It offers a new tool for evaluating cardiotoxicity during preclinical drug screening. Reference: Br J Pharmacol. 2022 Oct;179(20):4829-4843. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35781252/
In vivo activity: Zolmitriptan (ZOL), a member of triptans, has been used for the treatment of migraine with definite therapeutic effects. However, there have been several reported cases of ZOL-associated liver injury, and its underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Pre-treatment of ZOL-treated rat primary hepatocytes with quinidine was able to reverse ZOL-induced cytotoxicity.
