Scientific Background | Dofetilide is a class III antiarrhythmic agent that selectively blocks the rapid component of the delayed rectifier potassium current. While primarily used in cardiology, its effects on potassium channels have relevance in neuroscience, particularly in studies of neuronal excitability and ion channel pharmacology. Understanding how dofetilide modulates potassium currents can inform research on seizure activity, neuroprotection, and the electrophysiological properties of neurons. |
