Background And Purpose: Before advancing to clinical trials, new drugs are screened for their pro-arrhythmic potential using a method that is overly conservative and provides limited mechanistic insight. The shortcomings of this approach can lead to the mis-classification of beneficial drugs as pro-arrhythmic.

Experimental Approach: An in silico-in vitro pipeline was developed to circumvent these shortcomings.

In order to bridge the gap of information between the in silico model and human subjects, we evaluated torsadogenic risk of cisapride, dl-sotalol, bepridil and verapamil selected from 12 training compounds in the comprehensive in vitro proarrhythmia assay using the chronic atrioventricular block monkeys. Cisapride (0, 1, and 5 mg/kg, n = 5 for each dose), dl-sotalol (0, 1, 3, and 10 mg/kg, n = 5 for each dose), bepridil (0, 10, and 100 mg/kg, n = 4 for each dose), verapamil (0, 1.5, 15, and 75 mg/kg, n = 4 for each dose) were orally administered to the monkeys in conscious state.

The proarrhythmic risk is a major concern in drug development. The Comprehensive Proarrhythmia Assay (CiPA) initiative has proposed the JTpeak interval on electrocardiograms (ECGs) and qNet, an metric, as new biomarkers that may overcome the limitations of the hERG assay and QT interval. In this study, we simulated body-surface ECGs from patch-clamp data using realistic models of the ventricles and torso to explore their suitability as new biomarkers for cardiac safety.

Introduction: The Comprehensive in vitro Proarrhythmia Assay (CiPA) initiative proposes a three-step approach to evaluate proarrhythmogenic liability of drug candidates: effects on individual ion channels in heterologous expression systems, integrating these data into in-silico models of the electrical activity of human cardiomyocytes, and comparison with experiments on human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CM). Here we introduce patch-clamp electrophysiology techniques on hiPSC-CM to combine two of the CiPA steps in one assay.

Methods: We performed automated patch-clamp experiments on hiPSC-CM (Cor.

Introduction: Based on the ICH S7B and E14 guidance documents, QT interval (QTc) is used as the primary in vivo biomarker to assess the risk of drug-induced torsades de pointes (TdP). Clinical and nonclinical data suggest that drugs that prolong the corrected QTc with balanced multiple ion channel inhibition (most importantly the l-type calcium, Cav1.2, and persistent or late inward sodium current, Nav1.
