Description The effect of a neuroleptic drug perphenazine on sodium current INa and transient outward potassium current Ito was studied in rat ventricular myocytes at room temperature. Perphenazine reversibly blocked INa (reducing its amplitude; IC50 = 1.24+/-0.10 micromol/l, nH = 0.99+/-0.08) and Ito (accelerating its apparent inactivation with a slight decrease of its amplitude; IC50 = 38.2+/-3.5 micromol/l, nH = 0.75+/-0.07, evaluated from the changes of time integral). Both INa- and Ito-block was use- and frequency-dependent (20%-increase of INablock and 10%-increase of Ito-block under 0.3 and 10 micromol/l perphenazine, respectively, at the stimulation frequency of 3.3 Hz applied after a 15-s rest). The results of quantitative modelling suggest that perphenazine interacts with INa-channels in inactivated states, and with Ito-channels in both open and open-inactivated states.
