Detecting Vanoxerine Arrhythmia in Human iPSC-Derived Cardiomyocytes

Posted by Evotec on Feb 12, 2021 4:00:23 PM

Vanoxerine is a multi-ion channel blocker. For this reason, it was developed as a therapy for atrial fibrillation. However, in Phase III trials, 11.5% of patients developed torsades de pointes. Using MEA and human iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes, it was possible to detect this cardiotoxic liability. 

In this poster, we focus on:

  • the use of MEA and human iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes to detect vanoxerine arrhythmias
  • the time dependent effect of vanoxerine cardiotoxicity
  • the ADME properties of vanoxerine which may impact on its cardiotoxic effect
