  • Title: Comparison of the effects of a benzotriazinium iodide and quinidine on guinea-pig heart.
    Author: French AM, Scott NC.
    Journal: Br J Pharmacol; 1979 May; 66(1):19-24. PubMed ID: 454948.
    Abstract:
    1 The actions of 2-n-propyl-4-p-tolylamino-1,2,3-benzotriazinium iodide (TnPBI) and quinidine were compared on guinea-pig heart preparations. 2 Quinidine had negative inotropic and chronotropic effects on guinea-pig isolated atria and on Langendorff hearts: TnPBI had negative inotropic and chronotropic effects on Langendorff hearts, but showed a positive inotropic effect on isolated atria at low dose levels. 3 Both quinidine and TnPBI increased the effective refractory period of guinea-pig atrial preparations. 4 The effects of TnPBI on transmembrane action potentials indicated a mixed class I and class III action according to the classification of Vaughan Williams (1970). 5 These effects are discussed in relation to the antiarrhythmic actions of TnPBI.
