Hydroquinidine is a pharmaceutical agent that acts as a class I antiarrhythmic agent (Ia) in the heart. Hydroquinidine is a d-rotatory alkaloid derived from cinchiona bark. It is closely related to quinidine, differing from the latter alkaloid only in containing two more atoms of hydrogen in the molecule. The drug causes increased action potential duration, as well as a prolonged QT interval. It is not approved by FDA, but marketed in Spain, France, Italy and Pakistan under the brand names Lentoquine, Sérécor LP, Idrochinidina Lirca and Austacute, respectively. Like all other class I antiarrhythmic agents, Hydroquinidine primarily works by blocking the fast inward sodium current (INa). Hydroquinidine is also used for the treatment of Malaria.
