Pathway Description
Moricizine Action Pathway
Homo sapiens
Drug Action Pathway
Moricizine is an antiarrhythmic used to treat arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats) and to maintain normal heart rate. it acts on heart muscles by inhibiting inward sodium channels. This results in a slowed atrioventricular nodal and His-Purkinje conduction, which decreases excitability conduction velocity, and automaticity. It decreases the maximum rate of phase 0 depolarization, but it does not affect action potential amplitude, sinoatrial (SA) nodal or intra-atrial conduction, or maximum diastolic potential. It minimally effects sinus cycle length and sinus node recovery time.
