"To investigate whether or not pimozide inhibits hERG channels inside the cells, pimozide was dissolved in the intracellular solution at concentrations of 2, 10, and 100 nM."

"These results suggest that pimozide inhibits the hERG channel from within the cell."

"If pimozide inhibits hERG channels from inside the cell, then coexisting P-gp inhibitors may increase the risk of QT prolongation by increasing the uptake of pimozide into cardiomyocytes and enhancing[MISSING/INVALID CREDENTIALS: limited to 200 char for Elsevier]"

"Subsequent studies have generally agreed with this conclusion.As well as the effects noted above, pimozide also displays actions as an antagonist, inverse agonist, and channel blocker, with relatively lower affinities, at α-adrenergic, muscarinic cholinergic, and histamine receptors and calcium and sodium channels.Like many other antipsychotics, but more strongly than most, pimozide also inhibits the hERG (human ether-a-go-go-related) K+ channel [28]."
