"In summary, the present study provides evidence that probucol does not block the hERG channel, but accelerates degradation of the mature hERG channel and inhibit hERG current by decreasing SGK1 expression level and eventually enhancing the ubiquitination of the hERG channel through the E3 ubiquitin ligase Nedd4-2, whereas CCh can rescue probucol disrupted hERG surface expression by enhancing the phosphorylation level of Nedd4-2 as an alternative to SGK1."

"Although probucol is reported to reduce hERG expression in the plasma membrane without directly blocking hERG channel (Shi et al., 2015) and to prolong QT and cause TdPs in patients and in animal studies (Nogawa et al., 2013), the prolongation of the QT interval is not as evident as after treatment with other drugs, such as from arsenic trioxide and/or pentamidine."
