Chemical Structure

Biological activities

Dofetilide is a standard class III antiarrhythmic agent. Dofetilide is used for the management of atrial fibrillation (AF) and is effective in the treatment of a range of cardiac arrhythmias. Dofetilide potently blocks rectifier K+ current (IKr). The IC50 of dofetilide for HERG1 A and S620T is 0.32 and 248 µM, respectively. Dofetilide inhibits BEAG T432S and BEAG WT with IC50 of 1.0 and 32.0µM, respectively. Dofetilide also inhibits the S631A mutation and the S631A/F656V double mutation with IC50 of 20.0 and 32.0µM, respectively.[1] Dofetilide interaction with HERG channels expressed in Xenopus oocytes requires membrane depolarization.[2] In vivo in anesthetized dogs, dofetilide at 10µg/kg per minute significantly increases LVSP and maximum left-ventricular developed pressure-increase rate and decreases heart rate. Dofetilide also significantly prolongs QT and QTc intervals.[3]

Protocols

Dofetilide is diluted in DMSO.[1]
