Using patch clamp whole cell recording techiques, we examined the effects ofIQ23, a benzyl-isoquinoline derivative with antiarrhythmic activities, on the action potential （AP） andpotassium currents in single guinea pig ventricular myocytes. The results showed that IQ23 at 10, 30and 100 μmol ·L-1 slowed the repolarization in AP dose-dependently. The APD90 were prolonged by15%, 28% and 31% respectively. This effect did not depend on the extracellular Ca2+. In voltageclamp mode, IQ23 effectively blocked both the components of the delayed rectifier potassium current（Ik）, i.e., Iks and Ikr. At concentrations of 30 and 100 μmol· L-1, IQ23 suppressed Iks by 21% and 26%and suppressed Ikr by 67% and 86% respectively. But even at 100 μmol·L-1, IQ23 had little effect onthe inward rectifier potassium current （Ik1）. It is concluded: 1. IQ23 can dose-dependently prolongAPD in the ventriculas myocytes of guinea pig, the effect does not depend on the extracellular Ca2+; ***23 blocks both Iks and Ikr in the ventricular myocytes without obvious specificities between them.
