Eleclazine, also known as GS-6615, is a selective late sodium current inhibitor. Eleclazine is potentially useful for treatment of coronary vasodilators, antiarrhythmics and vasodilators. Eleclazin showed a shortening of the QTc interval (the time interval between the start of the Q-wave and end of the T-wave in the heart’s electrical cycle) in patients with long QT-3 (LQT3) syndrome. LQT3 is a genetic disorder that prolongs the heart’s QTc interval and can cause life-threatening cardiacarrhythmias (abnormal heartbeats).
Edrophonium is a rapid-onset, short-acting cholinesterase inhibitor used in cardiacarrhythmias and in the diagnosis of myasthenia gravis. It has also been used as an antidote to curare principles.
Acebutolol D7 is a deuterium-labeled Acebutolol. Acebutolol is a selective antagonist of the β1 adrenergic receptor used in the treatment of angina pectoris, hypertension, and cardiacarrhythmias.
Ru360, an oxygen-bridged dinuclear ruthenium amine complex, is a selective mitochondrial calcium uptake inhibitor. Ru360 potently inhibits Ca2+ uptake into mitochondria with an IC50 of 0.184 nM. Ru360 binds to mitochondria with high affinity (Kd of 0.34 nM). Ru360 has antiarrhythmic and cardioprotective effects[1][2]. Ru360 permeates slowly into the cell, and specifically inhibits mitochondrial calcium uptake in intact cardiomyocytes and in isolated heart. 1 μm Ru360 is taken up by myocardial cells and accumulated in the cytosol in a biphasic manner[1]. During pelleting hypoxia, Ru360 (10 µM) significantly improves cell viability in wild type cardiomyocytes[3]. Ru360 (15-50 nmol/kg) treatment abolishes the incidence of arrhythmias and haemodynamic dysfunction elicited by reperfusion in a whole rat model. Ru360 administration partially inhibits calcium uptake, preventing mitochondria from depolarization by the opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP)[1]. [1].

Nafazatrom is a pyrazolinone derivative and lipoxygenase inhibitor that increases endogenous prostacyclin (PGI2) and has experimental anticancer activity. Nafazatrom is also an antithrombotic drug that increases prostacyclin levels and reduces the inciden
