Direct cardiac effects of sematilide, a new class III antiarrhythmic drug, were compared with those of E-4031 and MS-551 in canine isolated blood-perfused heart preparations. Doses of sematilide, E-4031, and MS-551 causing a 10% decrease in the spontaneous sinoatrial beating rate were 58 +/- 15, 9 +/- 5, and 84 +/- 10 micrograms (n = 5); those causing a 10% increase in developed tension of the papillary muscle were 485 +/- 49, 17 +/- 2, and 267 +/- 50 micrograms (n = 6); and those causing a 10% prolongation of effective refractory period (ERP) of the atrioventricular node were 68 +/- 10, 11 +/- 2, and 53 +/- 15 micrograms (n = 5), respectively. There were few effects on atrio-His or His-ventricular intervals. Also, in in situ open-chest dog hearts, the percent increases in ERP of the atrioventricular conduction system caused by 1 mg/kg of sematilide were 21 +/- 3, 16 +/- 2 and 9 +/- 1% at cycle lengths of 800, 600, and 400 ms, respectively (p < 0.01; n = 8). These results indicate that (a) sematilide, as well as E-4031 and MS-551, has direct negative chronotropic and positive inotropic effects and prolongs cardiac refractoriness without affecting conduction velocities; (b) quantitatively, the cardiac effects of sematilide were almost identical to those of MS-551 and five to ten times less potent than those of E-4031; (c) and prolongation of ERP of the atrioventricular conduction system by sematilide occurred in a reverse frequency-dependent manner.
