Flecainide hydrochloride is an orally active antiarrhythmic agent. Flecainide hydrochloride can block sodium channels and inhibit calcium ion release mediated by the cardiac ryanodine receptor (RyR2). Flecainide hydrochloride can be used in the research of diseases such as catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT)[1][2][3]. | [Biological Activity]
Flecainide hydrochloride is a potent and orally active antiarrhythmic agent. Flecainide hydrochloride blocks the cardiac fast inward Na+ current (INa) and the rapid component of the delayed rectifier K+ current. Flecainide hydrochloride prolongs the action potential duration (APD) in ventricular and atrial muscle fibres. Flecainide hydrochloride has the potential for the research of fetal tachycardias[1][2][3]. | [in vivo]
Flecainide (hydrochloride) (20 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection; single dose) completely inhibits catecholamine-induced ventricular arrhythmias in Casq2 knockout mice[2]. | [References]
