UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008012 Lidocaine A local anesthetic and cardiac depressant used as an antiarrhythmia agent. Its actions are more intense and its effects more prolonged than those of PROCAINE but its duration of action is shorter than that of BUPIVACAINE or PRILOCAINE. Lignocaine,2-(Diethylamino)-N-(2,6-Dimethylphenyl)Acetamide,2-2EtN-2MePhAcN,Dalcaine,Lidocaine Carbonate,Lidocaine Carbonate (2:1),Lidocaine Hydrocarbonate,Lidocaine Hydrochloride,Lidocaine Monoacetate,Lidocaine Monohydrochloride,Lidocaine Monohydrochloride, Monohydrate,Lidocaine Sulfate (1:1),Octocaine,Xylesthesin,Xylocaine,Xylocitin,Xyloneural
D011342 Procainamide A class Ia antiarrhythmic drug that is structurally-related to PROCAINE. Procaine Amide,Apo-Procainamide,Biocoryl,Novocainamide,Novocamid,Procainamide Hydrochloride,Procamide,Procan,Procan SR,Procanbid,Pronestyl,Rhythmin,Amide, Procaine,Hydrochloride, Procainamide
D011802 Quinidine An optical isomer of quinine, extracted from the bark of the CHINCHONA tree and similar plant species. This alkaloid dampens the excitability of cardiac and skeletal muscles by blocking sodium and potassium currents across cellular membranes. It prolongs cellular ACTION POTENTIALS, and decreases automaticity. Quinidine also blocks muscarinic and alpha-adrenergic neurotransmission. Adaquin,Apo-Quinidine,Chinidin,Quincardine,Quinidex,Quinidine Sulfate,Quinora,Apo Quinidine,Sulfate, Quinidine
D004206 Disopyramide A class I anti-arrhythmic agent (one that interferes directly with the depolarization of the cardiac membrane and thus serves as a membrane-stabilizing agent) with a depressant action on the heart similar to that of guanidine. It also possesses some anticholinergic and local anesthetic properties. Diisopyramide,Disopyramide Monohydrochloride,Disopyramide Phosphate,Disopyramide Phosphate (1:1),Disopyramide Phosphate (1:1), (+-)-Isomer,Disopyramide Phosphate (1:1), (R)-Isomer,Disopyramide Phosphate (1:1), (S)-Isomer,Disopyramide, (+-)-Isomer,Disopyramide, (R)-Isomer,Disopyramide, (S)-Isomer,Disopyramide, D-Tartrate (1:1), (S)-Isomer,Disopyramide, L-Tartrate (1:1), (R)-Isomer,Disopyramide, L-Tartrate (1:1), (S)-Isomer,Disopyramide, L-Tartrate (1:2), (+-)-Isomer,Disopyramide, L-Tartrate, (S)-isomer,Norpace,Palpitin,Palpitine,Rhythmodan,Ritmilen,Rythmilen,SC-13957,SC 13957,SC13957
D005424 Flecainide A potent anti-arrhythmia agent, effective in a wide range of ventricular and atrial ARRHYTHMIAS and TACHYCARDIAS. Flecainide Acetate,Apocard,Flecadura,Flecainid-Isis,Flecainide Monoacetate,Flecainide Monoacetate, (+-)-Isomer,Flecainide Monoacetate, (R)-Isomer,Flecainide Monoacetate, (S)-Isomer,Flecainide, (R)-Isomer,Flecainide, (S)-Isomer,Flecainide, 5-HO-N-(6-oxo)-Derivative,Flecainide, 5-HO-N-(6-oxo)-Derivative, (+-)-Isomer,Flecatab,Flécaïne,R818,Tambocor,Flecainid Isis
D006801 Humans Members of the species Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D000813 Anilides Any aromatic amide obtained by acylation of aniline.
D000889 Anti-Arrhythmia Agents Agents used for the treatment or prevention of cardiac arrhythmias. They may affect the polarization-repolarization phase of the action potential, its excitability or refractoriness, or impulse conduction or membrane responsiveness within cardiac fibers. Anti-arrhythmia agents are often classed into four main groups according to their mechanism of action: sodium channel blockade, beta-adrenergic blockade, repolarization prolongation, or calcium channel blockade.
