| Abstract | 1. In guinea-pig sino-atrial (SA) node cells the delayed rectifier K(+) current (I(K)) is composed of rapidly and slowly activating components of I(K) (I(Kr) and I(Ks), respectively). The present study was undertaken to characterize the blocking action of the chromanol derivative 293B on I(Ks) in guinea-pig SA node cells using whole-cell patch-clamp technique. 2. Bath application of 293B blocked I(Ks), elicited by 4-s depolarizing voltage pulses from a holding potential of -50 mV, under conditions in which the L-type Ca(2+) current (I(Ca,L)) and I(Kr) were inhibited; the effect was concentration-dependent with an IC(50) of 5.3 microM, when evaluated by the decrease in the amplitude of I(Ks) tail current following 4-s depolarizing voltage steps to +50 mV. 3. The 293B block of I(Ks) progressed with time during depolarizing voltage steps with a more rapid block at higher concentrations. 4. The block of I(Ks) by 293B was fully reversed within a few minutes after washing off the drug, even when a maximal effect (a nearly full block) was achieved at high drug concentration (50 microM). 5. Bath application of 293B at 50 microM greatly and reversibly reduced the amplitude of I(Ks) which is maximally stimulated by beta-adrenergic agonist isoprenaline (1 microM), while the degree of 293B block of the isoprenaline-stimulated I(Ks) was slightly but significantly smaller than that of non-stimulated I(Ks) (94.0+/-0.98% block, n=6 vs 99.4+/-0.45% block, n=6; P<0.01). 6. We conclude that, in guinea-pig SA node cells (i) 293B is a potent and fully reversible blocker of I(Ks) in control and during beta-adrenergic stimulation and (ii) block with 293B occurs in a time-dependent manner during depolarizing voltage steps. |

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.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
