Description Haloperidol induced a decrease of amplitude and an acceleration of apparent inactivation of transient outward potassium current (Ito), both in a voltage-dependent manner. The averaged inhibition of Ito, evaluated as a change of its time integral, was 23.0 +/- 3.2% at stimulation frequency of 0.1 Hz. As a consequence of slow recovery of Ito from the haloperidol-induced block (time constant 1482 +/- 83 ms), a cumulation of the block up to about 40% appeared at 3.3 Hz.
