The electrophysiological effects of amiodarone were studied in guinea pig papillary muscle by means of the single sucrose gap voltage clamp technique. The 1st time derivative of the upstroke of the action potential was measured as an indicator of the Na current. The preparations were not voltage clamped during the action potential upstroke. Acute effects of amiodarone (4.4 .times. 10-5 M and 8.8 .times. 10-5 M; 6 experiments each) and effects of chronic administration at a single dose level (9 experimental vs. 8 control animals) were studied. Results were qualitatively the same for all experimental conditions, and concentration dependent in the acute studies. Amiodarone caused marked use-dependent depression the 1st time derivative of the upstroke of the action potential during stimulus trains. For example, at normal resting potential, chronic amiodarone treatment reduced the 1st time derivative of the upstroke of the action potential of the 16th beat of trains of cycle length 300 msec to 70 .+-. 15% (mean .+-. SD) of the initial value. This blocking effect was accentuated at more depolarized holding potentials and reduced at hyperpolarized holding potentials. Reduction of the 1st time derivative of the upstroke of the action potential depended upon Na channel inactivation. For all experiments, the mean normalized 1st time derivative of the upstroke of the action potential following a 1-s clamp in the -20 to +20 mV range was 0.92 .+-. 0.08 in the control condition and 0.66 .+-. 0.20 in the presence of amiodarone (< 0.01). The reduction of the 1st time derivative of the upstroke of the action potential by amiodarone could be minimized by shortening the action potential plateau, and exaggerated by lengthening the plateau with a voltage clamp to potentials at which all channels are inactivated. Recovery from block by amiodarone at the resting potential (.apprx. -85 mV) had a time constant of 1.63 .+-. 0.24 s. Over the -100 to -65 mV range, this time constant was moderately shortened by hyperpolarization and lengthened by depolarization. Analysis of the data in a computer model of the state-dependent interaction of drugs with the cardiac Na channel yielded the following dissociation constants: rested state > 0.1 M, activated state .simeq. 10-3 M, and inactivated state .simeq. 2 .times. 10-5 M. Amiodarone also prolonged action potential duration and consistently inhibited depolarization-induced automaticity in all experimental conditions. Evidently, amiodarone is a potent Na channel blocker and a major mechanism of its action is selective affinity for Na channels in the inactivated state.
