Moricizine is an antiarrhythmia agent used primarily for ventricular rhythm disturbances.Target: Sodium ChannelMoricizine is an antiarrhythmia agent used primarily for ventricular rhythm disturbances. Moricizine works by inhibiting the rapid inward sodium current across myocardial cell membranes. Moricizine induced the tonic block of INa with the apparent dissociation constant (Kd,app) of 6.3 microM at -100 mV and 99.3 microM at -140 mV. Moricizine at 30 microM shifted the h infinity curve to the hyperpolarizing direction by 8.6 +/- 2.4 mV. Moricizine also produced the phasic block of INa, which was enhanced with the increase in the duration of train pulses, and was more prominent with a holding potential (HP) of -100 mV than with an HP of -140 mV. Moricizine would exert an antiarrhythmic action on atrial myocytes, as well as on ventricular myocytes, by blocking Na+ channels with a high affinity to the inactivated state and a slow dissociation kinetics [1].

Perindopril is a long-acting ACE inhibitor of which is used to treat high blood pressure, heart failure or stable coronary artery disease.Target: ACEPerindopril is a long-acting ACE inhibitor. It is used to treat high blood pressure, heart failure or stable coronary artery disease in form of perindopril arginine (trade names include Coversyl, Coversum) or perindopril erbumine (trade name Aceon). According to the Australian government's Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme website, based on data provided to the Australian Department of Health and Aging by the manufacturer, perindopril arginine and perindopril erbumine are therapeutically equivalent and may be interchanged without differences in clinical effect. However the dose prescribed to achieve the same effect will differ due to different molecular weights for the two forms. Perindopril is one of the most prescribed inhibitors of angiotensin converting enzyme, has a large evidence base, which allows to use it in patients with hypertension, diabetes mellitus type 2, coronary heart disease and chronic heart failure. In this review, the author focused on the evidence of organoprotecting properties of perindopril that lie outside lowering blood pressure.
