1. It has been reported that allitridi, an active compound extracted from garlic, has many cardiovascular effects. However, it remains unknown whether allitridi affects major repolarization currents, such as the transient outward K+current (Ito), ultrarapid delayed rectifier K+current (IKur) and the L‐type Ca2+current (ICa), in human atrial myocytes.2. In the present study, we investigated the effects of allitridi onIto,IKur,ICaand the action potential in human isolated atrial myocytes using the whole‐cell patch recording technique.3. Allitridi reversibly inhibitedIto, but notIKurandICa, in human atrial myocytes. These effects of allitridi onItowere concentration dependent (IC50= 44.9 μmol/L). Inactivation ofItowas accelerated and the voltage‐dependent inactivation potential was shifted towards the negative direction. Allitridi (30 μmol/L) significantly prolonged action potential duration in human atrial myocytes.4. The results of the present study indicate that allitridi inhibitsIto, but notIKurandICa, and prolongs the action potential duration in human atrial myocytes.
