(E), estimated. The data report the effects on drug block of hERG mutations in pore helix residues, V625 in the selectivity filter (SF) or residues on the S6 helix. The fold increase in IC50 relative to its WT control is given as IC50 mutant/IC50 WT. Estimated fold increases in IC50 are tabled where experimentally derived IC50 values were not reported; the estimated values were calculated using available single dose data, by using a standard Hill equation: Fractional block = 1/(1 + (IC50/[drug])h), and assuming h = 1. Table updated from (Zhang et al., 2016).
