Dofetilide is a class III antiarrhythmic agent that prolongs cardiac action potential duration by selectively inhibiting the rapidly activating inward rectifying component of net delayed rectifier K+ current (IC50 = 31.5 nM in guinea pig cardiomyocytes).{24130} However, at 1 ?M, dofetilide has pro-arrhythmic activity, inducing early afterdepolarizations (prolonged repolarization) in cell models and Torsade de Pointes in a rabbit screen for proarrhythmic properties when administered at a dose of 10 mg/kg.{24131} Formulations containing dofetilide have been used in the treatment of highly symptomatic atrial fibrillation and the conversion of flutter to normal sinus rhythm.{24132}
