"HERG channel blockers, such as E4031, fexofenadine and astemizole, facilitated maturation of hERG proteins by acting as chemical chaperones XREF_BIBR; however, these agents can not be used clinically for enhancing hERG channel currents, because they acutely block the rapidly activating delayed-rectifier K + channel current (I Kr)."

"In this context, the results obtained in our
study are not surprising, since the KCNT1 antagonists herein reported
do not present basic nitrogens (CPK16 and CPK20) or their nitrogens have low pK values
(CPK4, CPK13, and CPK18—Jaguar
predicted pK values: 4.48, 5.76, and
5.28, respectively) compared to the nitrogens
of hERG blockers such as quinidine, astemizole, cisapride, and dofetilide."
