The specific of reduction (−) or prolongation (+) (in ms) is reported for each kinetic parameter at EC50 (e.g. Verapamil half maximally reduced the rise time by 151 ms). For comparison, the published EC50 or IC50 values for channel inhibition and the utilized methodology are listed. Abbreviations: PC-mc, Whole-Cell Patch Clamp on Mammalian Cardiomyocytes; PC-cc, Whole-Cell Patch Clamp on Transfected Cancer Cell Lines; CR-mc, Contractile Response in mammalian cardiomyocytes; PC-Xl, Patch Clamp Recording in X. laevis Oocytes; TM-ec, Tension Measurement in epithelial cells; N.D., not determined; N.S., not significant. EC50 values are listed when the drug elicited a statistically significant effect on the given parameter compared to control (vehicle alone) treatment for at least the highest concentration by ANOVA followed by the Dunnett's Multiple Comparison Test.
