Biologieal

Orally active atypical voltage-gated sodium channel blocker. Inhibits sustained sodium currents (INaL) and prevents diastolic contracture in isolated atria in vitro (IC50 values are 9.6 and 0.55 - 0.79 μM respectively). Displays anti-ischemic, bradycardic and cardioprotective activity in vivo
