Pharmacokinetics of pilsicainide transdermal patch and its electropharmacological effects were simultaneously assessed using chronic atrioventricular block dogs. After application of the patch (9.8 mg/kg), pilsicainide was continuously absorbed through the skin with a C(max) of 0.49 +/- 0.13 microg/ml, while its plasma concentration was kept above the clinically reported minimum effective plasma concentration for 2 - 8 h. Inter-atrial conduction time was significantly prolonged, whereas statistically significant prolongation was not detected in the atrial effective refractory period. Prolongation of the cycle length of atrial fibrillation and anti-fibrillatory action were confirmed. Thus, pilsicainide can be absorbed transdermally to exert long-lasting electropharmacological effects leading to anti-atrial fibrillatory action.
