Clofilium phosphate
Clofilium phosphate (LY 150378) is an antiarrhythmic/antifibrillatory agent. Clofilium phosphate significantly prolongs the action potential duration and effective refractory period of canine cardiac Purkinje fibers, increases the ventricular fibrillation threshold, reduces the risk of reentrant arrhythmias, and enables spontaneous conversion of some ventricular fibrillation episodes to sinus rhythm. Clofilium phosphate is applicable to research related to ventricular fibrillation, arrhythmias, and ventricular tachyarrhythmias.

Biological Activity
Clofilium phosphate selectively prolongs the action potential duration and effective refractory period of Purkinje fibers in normal dogs[1].
Clofilium phosphate (30-100 nM) prolongs the action potential duration of canine papillary muscle and ventricular free wall cells, but exerts no effect on the APD of atrial muscle at the tested concentrations[1].
Clofilium phosphate (30-1000 nM; for at least 1 h) selectively prolongs the action potential duration and refractory period of isolated normal canine Purkinje fibers, without significantly altering membrane responsiveness, conduction velocity, or diastolic depolarization rate; its APD-prolonging effect is more pronounced under conditions of longer basic cycle lengths and in depolarized fibers at higher concentrations[2].
Clofilium phosphate (0.01-10 μM; 30 min) potently prolongs the APD95 of isolated canine cardiac Purkinje fibers, with a C20APD95 value of 0.26 μM, and produces a maximum 39 ± 8% increase in APD95 at 10 μM[3].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Clofilium phosphate (10 mg/kg; intradermal injection) prolongs the left ventricular functional refractory period of anesthetized healthy mongrel dogs by at least 12%[3].
Clofilium phosphate (0.1-10 mg/kg; intravenous injection) prevents programmed electrical stimulation-induced ventricular tachycardia in 70% of anesthetized mongrel dogs with 24-hour-old myocardial infarction[3].

Animal Model:mongrel (adult, 8-15 kg, pentobarbital-anesthetized, electrical stimulation-induced ventricular fibrillation model)[1]
-
Dosage:0.5 µmole/kg; 1.0 µmole/kg
-
Administration:i.v.; infused over 30 minutes
-
Result:Increased mean ventricular fibrillation threshold (VFT) by 98% from pre-drug values at 0.5 µmole/kg.
Induced spontaneous conversion of ventricular fibrillation (VF) to normal sinus rhythm in 8% of episodes (2 out of 25), with VF lasting an average of 8.5 seconds at 0.5 µmole/kg.
Increased mean VFT by 205% from pre-drug values at 1.0 µmole/kg, with this increase significant at all post-infusion time periods.
Induced spontaneous conversion of VF to normal sinus rhythm in 22% of episodes (5 out of 23), with VF lasting an average of 8.5 seconds at 1.0 µmole/kg.
Produced significantly higher VFT at the 4th post-infusion determination (≈240 minutes after end of infusion) than at the first three post-infusion determinations for both doses.
