1 The slowly activating delayed rectifier K+ current (I-Ks) was recorded in single myocytes dissociated from guinea-pig ventricles and the mechanism underlying the block of I-Ks by a chromanol derivative, 293B, was investigated.2 In the presence of 1-100 mu M 293B, activation phase of I-Ks was followed by a slower decay during 10 s depolarizing pulses. Both the rate and extent of the decay were increased in a concentration-dependent manner.3 The relationship between the concentration of 293B and the block showed a Hill's coefficient of approximately 1. The half-inhibitory concentration was approximately 3.0 mu M and did not differ significantly at various membrane potentials from +20 to +80 mV.4 A mathematical model for the 293B block was constructed on the basis of multiple closed and open states for the I-Ks channels, and the blocking rate was calculated by fitting the model to the original current traces. The blocking rate constant showed a linear function with the 293B concentration, indicating 1 : 1 binding stoichiometry. At +80 mV the blocking rate was 4 x 10(4) M-1 s(-1) and the unblocking rate was 0.2 s(-1).5 The results indicate that 293B is an open channel blocker with relatively smaller blocking rate than those reported so far for time-dependent blockade of various ionic channels.
