Figure 6. UCL1684 and NS8593 produce direct atrial-selective inhibition of sodium channel current (INa) and shift steady-state inactivation of the cardiac sodium channels.
A: Representative INa recordings from a NaV1.5-WT plus NavB1-WT expressed in HEK cells in presence of UCL1684. B: Effect of NS8593 (10 μM) effect on sodium channel current density at test potential of −20 mV in canine atrial and ventricular myocytes recorded at holding potentials (HP) of −120 mV and −90 mV. C. Effect of NS8593 (10 μM) on steady-state inactivation of the sodium channels in atrial and ventricular cardiac myocytes.
