| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Description]
Potent and selective KV11.1 (hERG) channel blocker. Selective for KV11.1 over a panel of 14 other potassium channels. Dose-dependently prolongs QTc interval in isolated rabbit heart. | [Uses]
BeKm-1 is a HERG (human ether-a-go-go-related gene) blocking compound. BeKm-1 can be used for the research of heart disease[1]. | [References]
