| Application: | Quinidine has been used: • as an inhibitor of cytochrome P450 enzyme isoform CYP2D6 • as a potassium (K+) channel blocker in microglia • to test its effect on electrophysiological behaviour of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC) cardiomyocytes |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Class IA antiarrhythmic; potassium channel blocker. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Quinidine, an isomer of quinine has potential side effects like proarrhythmia on usage. It prolongs cardiac potential and is sodium channel blocker. It is a potential antagonist for α1-adrenoceptors and contributes to hypotension. It inhibits cytochrome P450 2D6 and improves circulation and brain penetration of dementia drug, dextromethorphan.
