E-4031 is a potent and selective blocker of the rapid component of the delayed rectifier potassium current in cardiac cells. In chemical synthesis, E-4031 is often utilized as a pharmacological tool to study the role of potassium channels in various biological processes. Its ability to selectively inhibit the rapid delayed rectifier potassium current makes it a valuable compound for investigating the physiological and pathological functions of these channels. Furthermore, E-4031's specificity for the hERG channel has led to its widespread use in drug discovery and safety pharmacology studies to assess the potential cardiotoxic effects of new drug candidates.
