Abstract:
Objective To explore the effect of ranolazine on the fast sodium channel current (INa) in rabbit atrial myocytes and the existence of use-dependent blockade. Methods Standard whole cell patch clamp technique was used to study the effect of ranolazine on the fast sodium channel current and the use-dependent blockade caused with different frequencies (1Hz, 3.3Hz and 5Hz) to stimulate the cells. Results The 30μmol/L ranolazine significantly reduced INa with an IC_(50) value of (25.6±1.8)μmmol/L and produced a frequency-dependent inhibitory effect on INa with obvious use-dependence. Conclusion Ranolazine can inhibit the fast sodium channel current in rabbit atrial myocytes and indeed has a use-dependent effect.
