Novel heterocyclo compounds useful as inhibitors of potassium channel function
(especially inhibitors of the Kv1 subfamily of voltage gated K+
channels, especially inhibitors Kv1.5 which has been linked to the ultra-rapidly
activating delayed rectifier K+ current IKur), methods of
using such compounds in the prevention and treatment of arrhythmia and IKur-associated
conditions, and pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds.
