"This indicates that the hERG channels were only slightly blocked by fluphenazine while remaining at the holding potential."

"In order to address whether hERG channels are also blocked by fluphenazine in their inactivated state, a long test pulse to +80 mV (4 s) was applied to inactivate the channels, which was followed by a[MISSING/INVALID CREDENTIALS: limited to 200 char for Elsevier]"

"Overall, fluphenazine inhibits the hERG channels mainly in the open and inactivated state rather than in the closed state.The IC 50 values of many hERG channel blockers have been shown to differ depen[MISSING/INVALID CREDENTIALS: limited to 200 char for Elsevier]"

"For example, the antipsychotic fluphenazine directly inhibits human ether-a-go-go-related gene (hERG) K + channels in a voltage- and time-dependent manner ( Hong et al., 2013 )."
