The results of electrophysiological investigation of the effects of LKhT-12-02 (a quaternary ammonium derivative of lidocaine) on the intact cat heart and the isolated ion channels of Lymnaea stagnalis snail showed that this compound belongs to class 1B antiarrhythmic agents (Vaughan - Williams classification). The drug does not suppress the automatic nonmonotonic rhythm driver, does not influence the conductance in ventricles, auricles, and atrioventricular node in the sinus rhythm, and does not elongate the effective refractory period of the auricles and atrioventricular node. LKhT-12-02 decreases the rate of fast depolarization of the action potential, while not reducing its duration. The compound does not influence the conduction of sodium ion channels.
