We studied the electrophysiological effects of the optical isomers of disopyramide and quinidine on canine cardiac Purkinje fibers. Conventional microelectrode techniques were employed to study the effects of racemic disopyramide, (+)-disopyramide, (-)-disopyramide, quinidine, and quinine. Racemic disopyramide, (+)-disopyramide, and quinidine prolonged action potential duration (APD) measured at 90% repolarization. In contrast, (-)-disopyramide and quinine shortened APD. These directionally opposite effects on repolarization were observed throughout 60 minutes exposure to drug and were concentration-dependent. All five components reduced dV/dt of phase 0, increased conduction time, and increased the current requirement for all-or-none depolarization. The effects of all five compounds on dV/dt, conduction time, and current requirements were time- and concentration-dependent. Our results indicate that the stereochemical configurations of disopyramide and quinidine determine their effects on repolarization of cardiac Purkinje fibers.
