7.1 ANTI-ARRHYTHMIC DRUGS

An arrhythmia (also called dysrhythmia) is a heart rhythm disorder in which the heart beats
irregularly. Cardiac arrhythmia refers to a group of conditions that cause the heart to beat
irregular, too slowly, or too quickly.
The electrical activity in the heart is seen in a normal pathway, the regular heart rhythm
(called normal sinus rhythm) means the electrical pulse from the sinus node is being properly
transmitted throughout the heart muscle. When the electrical signals to the heart that coordinate
heartbeats are disrupted, arrhythmia occurs. In adults, normal sinus rhythm usually accompanies a
heart rate of 60 to 100 beats per minute. There are different kinds of arrhythmias.
Types of Arrhythmias
➢ Tachycardia: Tachycardia is a fast heart rhythm with a rate of more than 100 beats per
minute.
➢ Bradycardia: Bradycardia is a slow heart rhythm with a rate below 60 beats per minute.
Drugs Acting on Cardiovascular System 211
➢ Supraventricular arrhythmias: “Supra” means above. Arrhythmias that begin in the
atria (upper chambers) are called supraventricular arrhythmias.
➢ Ventricular arrhythmias: Arrhythmias that arise in the ventricles (lower chambers).
➢ Bradyarrhythmias: Slow heart rhythms may be caused by disease in the heart’s
conduction system, such as the sinoatrial (SA) node, atrioventricular (AV) node or His-
Purkinje network.
Antiarrhythmic agents are the drugs that are used to prevent and treat irregular heart rate and
heartbeat. Antiarrhythmic drugs are classified into different classes and are used to treat various
types of arrhythmia.

7.1.1 Quinidine Sulphate

Brand Name: Quinidine Sulfate
Quinidine is a natural cinchona alkaloid extracted from cinchona bark. It consists of
cinchonine with the hydrogen at the 6th position of the quinoline ring substituted by methoxy
group, used to treat certain types of irregular heartbeats. Quinidine comes as a tablet (quinidine
sulfate). Quinidine sulphate is an optical isomer of quinine, extracted from the bark of the
cinchona tree. This alkaloid dampens the excitability of cardiac and skeletal muscles by blocking
sodium and potassium currents across cellular membranes.
212 Text Book of Pharmaceutical Chemistry
IUPAC Name: (5-ethenyl-1-azabicyclo[2.2.2]octan-2-yl)-(6-methoxyquinolin-4-yl)methanol;
sulfuric acid.
Properties: It occurs as fine, odorless, needle-like, very bitter white crystals which frequently
cohere in masses or as a fine, white powder. It is slightly soluble in water and soluble in alcohol.
Stability and Storage: Protect it from light; darkens on exposure to light /dehydrate. It should be
stored in well closed, light-resistant containers. Quinidine salts slowly acquire a brownish tint on
exposure to light. Quinidine gluconate injection should be stored at 15°C to 30°C. When diluted
to a concentration of 16 mg/mL with 5% dextrose injection, quinidine gluconate injection is
stable for 24 hours at room temperature and up to 48 hours when refrigerated.
Uses:
➢ Quinidine sulfate is used to treat or prevent many types of irregular heartbeats (heart
arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation).
➢ It can also be used to treat malaria.
➢ It can improve the ability to perform normal activities by decreasing the number of
irregular heartbeats.
Dosage Forms:
➢ Tablet – 200 mg (as sulfate), 300 mg (as sulfate)
➢ Extended-release (long-acting) tablet – 300 mg (as sulfate), 324 mg (as gluconate)
➢ Injectable solution – 80 mg/mL (as gluconate)

Brand Names: Amidoprocain, Novocamid, Novocainamid, Novocainamide, Novocainamidum,
Novocaine Amide, Procaine Amide, Procaine Amide Hydrochloride
Structure and Chemistry: Procainamide is structurally related to procaine, but in place of an
ester group, procainamide contains an amide group. They belong to aminobenzamides class, and
are aromatic carboxylic acid derivatives consisting of an amide with a benzamide moiety and
a triethylamine attached to the amide nitrogen.
IUPAC Name: p-Amino-N-[2-(diethylamino) ethyl]benzamide hydrochloride
Properties: Procainamide hydrochlorideis is white to yellowish white, crystalline powder and
odorless. It is very soluble in water, freely soluble in ethanol, very slightly soluble in ether, and
practically insoluble in ether and benzene. Melting point is 165°C to 169°C.
Storage Conditions: Store in airtight containers. Store tablets and capsules at room temperature.
Avoid excessive heat. Protect from moisture. All preparations should be protected from light.
Procainamide should not be used in patients with bronchial asthma or myasthenia gravis.
Uses:
➢ Procainamide is a drug used to control and treat ventricular arrhythmias.
➢ It is used in supraventricular arrhythmias.
➢ It is used in atrial flutter/fibrillation.
➢ It is used in Wolf-Parkinson-White syndrome.
Dosage Form: Injectable solution (100 mg/mL; 500 mg/mL)
Officials:

7.1.3 Verapamil

Brand Names: Isoptin, Verelan, Verelan PM, Calan, Bosoptin, Covera-HS
Verapamil is a phenylalkylamine and a member of the non-dihydropyridine class of calcium
channel blockers.
214 Text Book of Pharmaceutical Chemistry
IUPAC Name: 2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-5-[2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)ethyl-methylamino]-2-propan-
2-ylpentanenitrile
Verapamil administered, as a racemic mixture, contains equal amounts of the S- and R-
enantiomer, each of which is pharmacologically distinct – the S-enantiomer carries approximately
20 times greater potency than the R-enantiomer.
Properties: Verapamil occurs as white, crystalline powder, practically odorless, with a bitter
taste. It is not chemically related to other antiarrhythmic drugs. It is practically insoluble in water;
soluble in benzene and ether; sparingly soluble in hexane; and freely soluble in the lower
alcohols, acetone, ethylacetate and chloroform.
Therapeutic Uses: Verapamil is the drug of choice for prevention and treatment of PSVT. It is
also used as an alternative treatment for mild or moderate hypertension. It has been shown to be
effective in the treatment of angina pectoris.
Mechanism of Action: Verapamil inhibits the entry of calcium through calcium channels into
cardiac cells. It reduces the magnitude of the calcium current entry and decreases the rate of
recovery of the channel. Channel blockade by Verapamil is enhanced as the frequency of
stimulation increases. Its action on cardiac tissue results in antiarrythmic and negative inotropic
effects.
Dosage Forms: Adult: Oral; as hydrochloride: 120-480 mg daily in 3-4 divided doses according
to the severity of the condition and patient’s response.
Stability and Storage: Verapamil HCl should be stored at room temperature and protected from
light. Store tablets and ampoules at 15°C to 25°C, and protect from light. Dispense in tight, light-
resistant containers.

7.1.4 Phenytoin Sodium

Brand Names: Dilantin, Phenytek
Phenytoin is classified as a hydantoin derivative, formerly known as diphenylhydantoin.
Phenytoin Sodium is the sodium salt form of phenytoin. It is the most commonly used as
anticonvulsants.
Phenytoin sodium is related of the barbiturates in chemical structure, but has a five-
membered ring. Structure of phenytoin sodium is represented by the following structural formula:
IUPAC Name: 5,5-diphenylimidazolidine-2,4-dione
Properties: Phenytoin appears as fine white or almost white crystalline powder, odorless or
almost odorless, tasteless, and slightly hygroscopic. On exposure to air, it gradually absorbs
carbon dioxide with the liberation of phenytoin. It is soluble in water and alcohol. Practically, it is
insoluble in chloroform, ether and methylene chloride.
Mechanism of Action: Phenytoin is used to protect against seizures by causing voltage-
dependent block of voltage-gated sodium channels and inhibits the positive feedback loop that
results in neuronal propagation of high frequency action potential. In this way, seizures are
prevented.
Uses: Antiepileptic drugs are used in tonic-clonic seizures, focal seizures and status epilepticus. It
is also useful in abnormal heart rhythms; ventricular arrhythmias and sudden episodes of atrial
tachycardia after other antiarrhythmic medications or cardioversion has failed.
Dosage Forms:
Adults: 200-500 mg a day, taken as 1 or 2 doses.
Children (aged 12 to 17 years): 300-400 mg, taken as 2 doses.
