A series of disubstituted phenylpyridine derivatives was synthesized and their antiarrhythmic effects against chloroform-induced ventricular arrhythmias in mice were examined. Among them, 2- and 3-[2-(3-aminobutyramido)-4-(2,2,2-trifluroethoxy)phenyl]pyri dines (23h, 24h) and 3-[2-(3-aminobutyramido)-4-ethoxyphenyl]pyridine (24i) showed potent antiarrhythmic activity. They had approximately twice the potency of mexiletine (III). Compound 24i was selected from this series as a candidate for further development; it was found to have a class I B electrophysiological character and to show a slow kinetic rate-dependent block (RDB) of the sodium channel in cardiac muscle.

Ventricular tachycardia (VT) is a life-threatening arrhythmia often leading to sudden cardiac death, particularly in critically ill patients. Refractory VT, characterized by recurrent episodes requiring intervention, poses unique challenges for management, necessitating advanced diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. This systematic review evaluates the impact of imaging and pharmacological treatments in managing refractory VT in critically ill patients.

Objectives: Ischemia/reperfusion (IR)-induced ventricular arrhythmia, which mainly occurs after the opening of coronary artery occlusion, poses a clinical problem. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of pretreatment with coenzyme Q (CoQ) in combination with mitochondrial transplantation on IR-induced ventricular arrhythmias in aged rats.
Materials And Methods: Myocardial IR induction was performed by left anterior descending coronary artery occlusion for 30 min, followed by re-opening for 24 hr.

RNA N6-methyladenosine (m6A) plays diverse roles in RNA metabolism and its deregulation contributes to tumor initiation and progression. Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is characterized by near ubiquitous loss of followed by mutations in epigenetic regulators , , and . Mutations in , a histone H3 lysine 36 trimethylase (H3K36me3), are associated with reduced survival, greater metastatic propensity, and metabolic reprogramming.

Activation of CD8+ T cells necessitates rapid metabolic reprogramming to fulfill the substantial biosynthetic demands of effector functions. However, the posttranscriptional mechanisms underpinning this process remain obscure. The transfer RNA (tRNA) N1-methyladenine (m1A) modification, essential for tRNA stability and protein translation, has an undefined physiological function in CD8+ T cells, particularly in antitumor responses.

Despite significant advances in its management, AF remains a major healthcare burden affecting millions of individuals. Rhythm control with antiarrhythmic drugs or catheter ablation has been shown to improve symptoms and outcomes in AF patients, but current treatment options have limited efficacy and/or significant side-effects. Novel mechanism-based approaches could potentially be more effective, enabling improved therapeutic strategies for managing AF.
