[Electrophysiological experimental study of a novel class III antiarrhythmic drug RG-2].

The electrophysiologic effects of a new drug, RG-2 were studied on anesthetized open-chest dogs and on rabbit right atrial tissue. RG-2 was manufactured in Chemical-Pharmaceutical Institute in Moscow. Dogs (n=12) were anesthetized with sodium pentobarbital (30 mg/kg, i.v.). An ECG lead II, arterial blood pressure, His bundle electrogram, atrial and ventricular bipolar electrograms were continuously monitored, recorded and then analyzed by a computerized complex for electrophysiological study. Electrophysiological variables, ECG parameters, atrioventricular conduction (His electrogram) and blood pressure were determined after sequential i.v. administration of 1, 5, 10, 20, 40 and 80 ug/kg of RG-2. Interval between injections was 60 min. RG-2 had no significant effect on PQ, QRS, S-A, A-H and H-V intervals, but the drug caused dose-dependent increase of R-R and QT intervals. Moreover, RG-2 dose-dependently increased the atrial and ventricular effective refractory periods (AERP and VERP). Maximal increases of AERP and VERP registered at 5 min after administration of RG-2 (40 microg/kg) were 46+/-2% (p<0.001 vs control) and 23+/-6% (p<0.05 vs control), respectively. In the isolated rabbit right atrial tissue RG-2 (0.01 to 1 microM) had no effects on maximal diastolic potential, action potential amplitude and Vmax, but revealed concentration-dependent increase of action potential duration at 90% repolarization level (APD90%). The maximal effects on APD90% obtained after RG superfusion at 1 microM were 26+/-7% (p<0.001 vs control). We conclude that RG-2 has significant effects of class III antiarrhythmic drugs in vivo and in vitro.
