Background:

Tertiapin-Q is a highly selective blocker of GIRK1/4 heterodimer and ROMK1 (Kir1.1).

Tertiapin-Q is a highly selective blocker of G protein-coupled inwardly rectifying potassium (GIRK1/4) heterodimer and renal outer medullary potassium channel (ROMK1, Kir1.1)[1]. Tertiapin-Q is a potent and selective blocker for Kir1.1 renal outer medullary potassium, Kir3.1-Kir3.4 channels and calcium activated large conductance potassium channels (big potassium channels). The somatostatin (SS-14)-activated current is almost completely blocked (93.2±2.9%, n=5; P<0.01) by preincubation with the G protein-coupled inwardly rectifying potassium (GIRK) channel blocker Tertiapin-Q (TPN-Q)[2].

Tertiapin-Q is a muscarinic acetylcholine receptor-operated K+ current (IK,Ach) blocker. After the cessation of rapid atrial pacing, the atrial effective refractory period (AERP) is unchanged during the experimental period in the rapid atrial pacing (RAP) rabbits (n=6). Bepridil (1 mg/kg, n=5 for each group), Amiodarone (10 mg/kg, n=5 for each group), Vernakalant (3 mg/kg, n=5 for each group), Ranolazine (10 mg/kg, n=6 for each group) or Tertiapin-Q (0.03 mg/kg, n=5 for each group) on the AERP in the control and RAP rabbits. Tertiapin-Q significantly prolongs the AERP at each pacing cycle length both in the control and RAP rabbits. The extents of prolonging effect of Tertiapin-Q on the AERP in the RAP rabbits are greater than those in the control animals[3].
