ACTIVE MOIETY
We evaluated the viability of IKur as a target for maintenance of sinus rhythm in patients with a history of atrial fibrillation through the testing of MK-0448, a novel IKur inhibitor. These data led to a 2-part first-in-human study: Part I evaluated safety and pharmacokinetics, and part II was an invasive electrophysiological study in healthy subjects. MK-0448 was well-tolerated with mild adverse experiences, most commonly irritation at the injection site. During the electrophysiological study, ascending doses of MK-0448 were administered, but no increases in atrial or ventricular refractoriness were detected, despite achieving plasma concentrations in excess of 2 .MU.mol/L. The contribution of IKur to human atrial electrophysiology is less prominent than in preclinical models and therefore is likely to be of limited therapeutic value for the prevention of atrial fibrillation.
