Potential utility of halothane-anesthetized guinea pigs for detecting drug-induced repolarization delay was analyzed in comparison with urethane-anesthesia (n = 4 for both groups). Basal QT interval was significantly greater under halothane-anesthesia than urethane-anesthesia (192 +/- 7 vs 132 +/- 5 ms, respectively), whereas the reverse was true for the heart rate (190 +/- 7 vs 248 +/- 11 beats/min, respectively). The typical I(Kr)-blocker dl-sotalol (0.1 to 3 mg/kg, i.v.) induced dose-related bradycardia and QT interval prolongation under each anesthesia. The extent of maximum prolongation in the QT interval was greater under halothane-anesthesia than urethane-anesthesia (+101 +/- 15 vs +49 +/- 3 ms, respectively), whereas that of peak change in the heart rate was smaller under the former than the latter (-49 +/- 8 vs -63 +/- 5 beats/min, respectively). Pretreatment of the animals under urethane-anesthesia with the selective I(Ks) blocker chromanol 293B (n = 6) increased the extent of the dl-sotalol-induced QT interval prolongation to +57 +/- 8 ms, which was only 0.56 times of that under the halothane-anesthesia, whereas the pretreatment increased the peak change in the heart rate to -76 +/- 12 ms. These results indicate that the halothane-anesthesia may effectively sensitize the guinea-pig heart to pharmacological I(Kr) blockade.
