E 0747 FA is an antiarrhythmic compound that inhibits the voltage of action potential Vmax in Purkinje fibers of porcine heart.E 0747 FA inhibits Na channels in cardiac cells.

Mexiletine hydrochloride (KOE-1173 hydrochloride) is a voltage-gated sodium channel blocker and a Class IB antiarrhythmic drug. Mexiletine hydrochloride exerts antiarrhythmic effects by inhibiting sodium current in myocardial cells, thereby reducing the rise rate of cardiac action potential (phase 0) and reducing the automaticity of Purkinje fibers.

EGIS-8332 is a potent and selective non-competitive AMPA receptor antagonist. EGIS-8332 inhibits AMPA kainate ion channels and cell death. EGIS-8332 inhibited AMPA currents in rat cerebellar Purkinje cells and inhibited the AMPA- and quisqualate-induced excitotoxicity in primary cultures of telencephalon neurons (IC(50)=5.1-9.0 microM), in vitro. EGIS-8332 seems suitable for further development for the treatment of epilepsy, ischaemia and stroke based on its efficacy in a variety of experimental disease models, and on its low side effect potential.
