Table 1. Dose-effect analysis of QT and non-QT prolongation inducers.

COMPOUND CONCENTRATION
0.1 µM 1 µM 5 µM 10 µM 20 µM 50 µM
Terfenadine N B A A HF HF
Cisapride N N A VF HF HF
Astemizole N A HF HF HF HF
Haloperidiol N N A VF VF HF
Digitoxin ND ND N B HF HF
Nitrendipine ND N B B VF HF

Four QT prolongation inducers (Terfenadine, Cisapride, Astemizole and Haloperidiol) and 2 non-QT prolongation inducers (Digitoxin and Nitrendipine) were tested on 48 hpf zebrafish embryos. Predominant observed effects are indicated: normal heart rate (N), bradycardia (B), 2∶1 arrhythmia (A), ventricle failure (VF), heart failure (HF).
