Statements



reach
"Blockade of human HERG K+ channels by rosiglitazone, an antidiabetic drug."

reach
"Rosiglitazone did not change the steady-state activation or inactivation curves or the activation or deactivation kinetics, implying that rosiglitazone blocks HERG channels predominantly in the open and inactivated state rather than in the closed state."

reach
"Rosiglitazone inhibited HERG channels in a concentration dependent manner, with an IC50 value of 18.8 muM and a Hill coefficient of 1.0."

reach
"The present study suggests that rosiglitazone blocks HERG channels by binding to activated and inactivated channels, and rosiglitazone use should thus be carefully monitored in patients with pre-existing QT prolongation."

reach
"Such an investigation is warranted since high dose rosiglitazone may inhibit human ether-a-go-go-related gene (hERG) potassium channels (a surrogate for delayed cardiac repolarization [14]) in a human cell line [15]."
