CLASS IA
procainamide

What is special about terfenadine?
Under normal circumstances terfenadine is completely metabolized by CYP450 to its active metabolite fexofenadine.

The macrolide erythromycin inhibits this CYP450, so terfenadine inhibits repolarization and can increase the Q-T interval enough to cause torsades de pointes = polymorphic ventricular tachycardia

Alteration of ion transport by drugs: DIGOXIN and DIGITOXIN
Depolarization allows Ca++ to move into the cell via L-type (voltage-sensitive) Ca++ channels.
-- Some of the Ca++ is pumped into the SR.
-- Additional Ca++ is extruded by a Na/Ca antiporter which uses the high outside/low inside Na+ gradient to move Ca++ out against its concentration gradient.
-- This outside/inside Na gradient is maintained by the membrane Na/K ATPase.

DIGOXIN
-- partially blocks the Na/K ATPase
-- the outside/inside Na gradient is decreased
-- less Ca++ is extruded via Na/Ca exchange
-- this excess Ca++ in the cell is stored in the SR
-- the next depolariaztion results in a greater release of Ca++ from the SR (thus greater contraction)

DIGOXIN and DIGITOXIN are cardiac glycosides
