"Chloroquine can be anticipated also to inhibit KCNH2 encoded hERG channel subunits (which underlie native I Kr) [e.g. XREF_BIBR] and in additional experiments (not shown) we found chloroquine to inhibit WT-hERG channels at overlapping concentrations (IC 50 of 2.18 muM; 95% C.I. 1.98 to 2.39 muM; though, in contrast to Kir2.1, blocking potency of the SQT1 linked N588K hERG mutation was reduced ~ 8.5-fold in our hands; data not shown)."
reach
"If multiple ECGs were recorded during chloroquine therapy, the ECG recording which was closest to the time to reach the maximum plasma concentration (T max) of the drug (4-5h after oral administration) was selected, since chloroquine blocks the hERG channel in aconcentration dependent manner and therefore the maximal blocking effect is expected to be at the T max of the drug [XREF_BIBR]."
