| Abstract | A mathematical model of the interaction of propafenone with cardiac sodium channels is based on experimental data that demonstrate use-dependent effects of the drug. The Clancy-Rudy model is applied to describe Na-channels in absence of the drug. The values of rate constants of the drug-receptor reaction are fitted to experimental data by iterative computer simulations using a genetic algorithm. The model suggests the following interpretation of available experimental results: First, drug molecules have access to the binding sites predominantly in the inactivated states. Secondly, the biphasic development of the block during depolarisation is consistent with a rapid increase due to drug binding in the fast inactivated state (rate constants k$_{on}$=645μmol$^{−1}$ ls$^{−1}$, k$_{off}$=16.21 s$^{−1}$) and a slow increase due to binding in the intermediate inactivated state (rate constants ∼100-fold lower), followed by transition to the drug-occupied slow inactivated state (rate constants 0.784 and 0.921 s$^{−1}$). Thirdly, the observed biphasic time course of recovery of I$_{Na}$ from block following restoration of the resting voltage results from simultaneous relief of block from the channels residing in the intermediate and slow inactivated states. Fourthly, the accumulation of blocked channels in the slow inactivated state is responsible for the observed use-dependent effects. Fifthly, when incorporated into a quantitative description of the electrical activity of a ventricular cell, the model predicts that propafenone (0.2μmol l$^{−1}$) effectively suppresses premature excitations, leaving the regular action potentials nearly unaffected. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
