Abstract1. The antifungal antibiotic clotrimazole (CLT) shows therapeutic effects on cancer, sickle cell disease, malaria, etc. by inhibiting membrane intermediate-conductance Ca 2+-activated K + channels (IK Ca). However, it is unclear whether this drug would affect human cardiac K + currents. The present study was therefore designed to investigate the effects of CLT on transient outward K + current (I tol), and ultra-rapid delayed rectifier K + current (I Kur) in isolated human atrial myocytes, and cloned hERG channel current (I hERG) and recombinant human cardiac KCNQ1/KCNE1 channel current (I Ks) expressed in HEK 293 cells. 2. It was found that CLT inhibited I tol with an IC 50 of 29.5 μM, accelerated I tol inactivation, and decreased recovery of I tol from inactivation. In addition, CLT inhibited human atrial I Kur in a concentration-dependent manner (IC 50 = 7.6 μM). 3. CLT substantially suppressed I hERG (IC 50 = 3.6 μM), and negatively shifted the activation conductance of IhERG- Moreover, CLT inhibited I Ks (IC 50= 15.1 μM), and positively shifted the activation conductance of the current. 4. These results indicate that the antifungal antibiotic CLT substantially inhibits human cardiac repolarization K + currents including I tol, I Kur, I hERG, and I Ks. However, caution is recommended when correlating the observed in vitro effects on cardiac ion currents to the clinical relevance. © 2006 Nature Publishing Group All rights reserved.
