Torsadogenic potential of a novel remyelinating drug clemastine for multiple sclerosis assessed in the rabbit proarrhythmia model

We assessed the torsadogenic effects of a novel remyelinating drug clemastine for multiple sclerosis using an in vivo proarrhythmia model of acute atrioventricular block rabbit, since the drug has been demonstrated to suppress the human ether-á-go-go related gene (hERG) K+ channels. Bradycardia was...
