Effects of the phenothiazine analog, EN-313, on ventricular electrical activity were studied using isolated blood-superfused canine Purkinje fibers and conscious dogs with sustained ventricular arrhythmias following a 2-stage ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery, EN-313, less than 3 mg/kg, i.v., had no significant effect on transmembrane potentials of Purkinje fibers. At 3 mg/kg, EN-313 significantly decreased maximum upstroke velocity of phase 0 depolarization and action potential duration. In conscious dogs, EN-313 (1-3 mg/kg i.v.; 10-20 mg/kg p.o.) reduced arrhythmias that occured larger than or equal to 24 h after coronary artery ligation. No excessive changes in electrocardiographic parameters were observed following EN-313. These studies demonstrate that EN-313 suppresses ventricular arrhythmias in doses which have little effect on cellular electrophysiologic properties of normal Purkinje fibers and suggest that EN-313 should be useful in treating cardiac arrhythmias arising as a result of coronary occlusion.
