reach
"A recently determined cryo-EM structure for the HERG-astemizole complex has confirmed the general understanding that blockers bind to a hydrophobic pocket at the entrance of the SF, thus blocking the passage of K ions, and provides further tools for structure-based screening of HERG-related cardiotoxicity [21–24]."

reach
"Astemizole binds with high affinity to membrane embedded hERG with a single binding site per tetramer."

reach
"Purified recombinant hERG binds Astemizole."

reach
"[ 3 H]Astemizole binds to recombinant HERG ( K D 5.9 nM) and terfenadine competes efficiently for this binding ( K i 101 nM), but not diphendydramine ( K i 21.7 μM; Chiu et al., 2004 )."

reach
"We determined the structure of hERG bound to astemizole, showing a clear map in the pore pathway."

reach
"They were tested for stability in human liver microsomes, inhibition of cloned cytochrome P450 enzymes, and inhibition of astemizole binding to hERG channel."

reach
"In this regard, the cryo-EM structure of hERG in complex with astemizole has been recently solved, showing the binding of astemizole to hERG [ 62 ]."
