Vesnarinone, a cardiotonic agent, blocks I-Kr and, unlike other I-Kr blockers, produces a frequency-dependent prolongation of action potential duration (APD). To elucidate the mechanisms, we studied the effects of vesnarinone on HERG, the cloned human I-Kr channel, heterologously expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes. Vesnarinone caused a concentration-dependent inhibition of HERG currents with an IC50 value of 17.7 +/- 2.5 muM at 0 mV (n = 6). When HERG was coexpressed with the beta -subunit MiRP1, a similar potency for block was measured (IC50: 15.0 +/'- 3.0 muM at 0 mV, n = 5). Tonic block of the HERG channel current was minimal (
