Clofilium is a quaternary ammonium compound that acts as potassium channel blocker. Clofilium is a class III agent. Clofilium increases atrial and ventricular effective refractory period without changing conduction time and, despite no apparent change in premature ventricular complex frequency, it can abolish the ability to induce ventricular tachycardia by programmed stimulation and is also well tolerated.

Curator's Comment: Humans: Clofilium was administered as a single bolus intravenously in doses ranging from 60 to 300 ug/kg during electrophysiologic testing. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6881021
Eight dogs were given clofilium phosphate (0.34 mg/kg, iv). The maximum clofilium effect was a 31% decrease in threshold current and a 54% decrease in threshold energy.

Curator's Comment: Clofilium (0.1-100 umol/l) inhibited high voltage-activated Ca2+ currents in concentration- and use-dependent manners. Clofilium acted as a potent antagonist of NMDA receptor channels, preferably blocked the NMDA steady-state current at a low concentration (0.1 umol/l). At concentrations of >100 umol/l, clofilium blocked both peak and steady-state NMDA currents in a voltage-independent manner. Clofilium also inhibited the Na+, K+-ATPase current with an IC50 of 7.5 umol/l. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15637453
Clofilium at < or = 10(-6) M had no effect on WKY portal vein contractions and at < or = 3 x 10(-4) M had no effect on WKY or SHR quiescent mesenteric and intralobar pulmonary arteries. 3. Clofilium at 10(7) - 10(-5) M prolonged the WKY left ventricular action potentials and with 10(-6) and 10(-5)M this included after-depolarizations. 4. Clofilium at < or = 3 x 10(-5) M augmented the peak force, prolonged the contractions and did not cause arrhythmias in the absence and presence of isoprenaline on left ventricle strips from 12-month-old WKY.
