Evolution of thiazolidine-based blockers of human Kv1.5 for the treatment of atrial arrhythmias.

Blockade of the Kv1.5 ion channel is a potentially atrial-selective avenue for the treatment of atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter. The development and biological evaluation of a series of thiazolidine-based blockers of Kv1.

Synthesis and evaluation of (2-phenethyl-2H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)(phenyl)methanones as Kv1.5 channel blockers for the treatment of atrial fibrillation.

A series of novel (2-phenethyl-2H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)(phenyl)methanones were prepared and examined for utility as Kv1.5 channel blockers for the treatment of atrial fibrillation.
