Cellular electrophysiological effects of the citrus flavonoid hesperetin in dog and rabbit cardiac ventricular preparations
Scientific Reports(2024)
摘要
Recent experimental data shows that hesperetin, a citrus flavonoid, affects potassium channels and can prolong the QT c interval in humans. Therefore, in the present study we investigated the effects of hesperetin on various transmembrane ionic currents and on ventricular action potentials. Transmembrane current measurements and action potential recordings were performed by patch-clamp and the conventional microelectrode techniques in dog and rabbit ventricular preparations. At 10 µM concentration hesperetin did not, however, at 30 µM significantly decreased the amplitude of the I K1 , I to , I Kr potassium currents. Hesperetin at 3–30 µM significantly and in a concentration-dependent manner reduced the amplitude of the I Ks current. The drug significantly decreased the amplitudes of the I NaL and I CaL currents at 30 µM. Hesperetin (10 and 30 µM) did not change the action potential duration in normal preparations, however, in preparations where the repolarization reserve had been previously attenuated by 100 nM dofetilide and 1 µg/ml veratrine, caused a moderate but significant prolongation of repolarization. These results suggest that hesperetin at close to relevant concentrations inhibits the I Ks outward potassium current and thereby reduces repolarization reserve. This effect in certain specific situations may prolong the QT interval and consequently may enhance proarrhythmic risk.
