- Nuedexta
- Generic Name
- Quinidine
- DrugBank Accession Number
- DB00908
- Background
Quinidine is a D-isomer of quinine present in the bark of the Cinchona tree and similar plant species. This alkaloid was first described in 1848 and has a long history as an antiarrhythmic medication.1,2 Quinidine is considered the first antiarrhythmic drug (class Ia) and is moderately efficacious in the acute conversion of atrial fibrillation to normal sinus rhythm.1 It prolongs cellular action potential by blocking sodium and potassium currents. A phenomenon known as “quinidine syncope” was first described in the 1950s, characterized by syncopal attacks and ventricular fibrillation in patients treated with this drug.1 Due to its side effects and increased risk of mortality, the use of quinidine was reduced over the next few decades. However, it continues to be used in the treatment of Brugada syndrome, short QT syndrome and idiopathic ventricular fibrillation.2

Quinidine is an antimalarial schizonticide, and a class Ia antiarrhythmic agent used to interrupt or prevent reentrant arrhythmias and arrhythmias due to increased automaticity, such as atrial flutter, atrial fibrillation, and paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia.6 In most patients, quinidine can lead to an increase in the sinus rate. Quinidine also causes a marked prolongation of the QT interval in a dose-related manner,1,5 acts peripherally as an α-adrenergic antagonist, and has anticholinergic and negative inotropic activity.6
The QT interval prolongation caused by quinidine can lead to increased ventricular automaticity and polymorphic ventricular tachycardias, such as torsades de pointes. The risk of torsades is increased by bradycardia, hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia or high serum levels of quinidine. However, this type of rhythm disturbance may appear in the absence of any of them.5,6 Patients treated with quinidine may also be at risk of a paradoxical increase in ventricular rate in atrial flutter/fibrillation, and patients with sick sinus syndrome treated with quinidine may develop marked sinus node depression and bradycardia.5,6
- Mechanism of action
Quinidine has a complex electrophysiological profile that has not been fully elucidated. The antiarrhythmic actions of this drug are mediated through effects on sodium channels in Purkinje fibers. Quinidine blocks the rapid sodium channel (INa), decreasing the phase zero of rapid depolarization of the action potential.2 Quinidine also reduces repolarizing K+ currents (IKr, IKs), the inward rectifier potassium current (IK1), and the transient outward potassium current Ito, as well as the L-type calcium current ICa and the late INa inward current.2 The reduction of these currents leads to the prolongation of the action potential duration. By shortening the plateau but prolonging late depolarization, quinidine facilitates the formation of early afterdepolarisation (EAD).2 Additionally, in patients with malaria, quinidine acts primarily as an intra-erythrocytic schizonticide, and is gametocidal to Plasmodium vivax and P. malariae, but not to P. falciparum.5,6

The absolute bioavailability of quinidine sulfate is approximately 70%, but it ranges from 45% to 100%. The less-than-complete quinidine sulfate bioavailability is a result of first-pass metabolism in the liver.5 In contrast, the absolute bioavailability of quinidine gluconate ranges from 70% to 80%, and relative to quinidine sulfate, quinidine from quinidine gluconate has a bioavailability of 1.03.6 The tmax of quinidine sulfate extended-release tablets is approximately 6 h5, while the tmax of quinidine gluconate goes from 3 to 5 h.6 The peak serum concentration reached with immediate-release quinidine sulfate is delayed for about an hour when taken with food. Furthermore, the ingestion of grapefruit juice may decrease the rate of absorption of quinidine.5,6
- Volume of distribution
Quinidine has a volume of distribution of 2-3 L/kg in healthy young adults, 0.5 L/kg in patients with congestive heart failure, and 3-5 L/kg in patients with liver cirrhosis.5,6
- Protein binding
From 6.5 to 16.2 µmol/L, 80 to 88% of quinidine is bound to plasma proteins, mainly α1-acid glycoprotein and albumin. This fraction is lower in pregnant women, and it may be as low as 50 to 70% in infants and neonates.5,6
- Metabolism
Quinidine is mainly metabolized in the liver by cytochrome P450 enzymes, specifically CYP3A4. The major metabolite of quinidine is 3-hydroxy-quinidine, which has a volume of distribution larger than quinidine and an elimination half-life of about 12 hours.5,6 Non-clinical and clinical studies suggest that 3-hydroxy-quinidine has approximately half the antiarrhythmic activity of quinidine; therefore, this metabolite is partly responsible for the effects detected with the chronic use of quinidine.5,6

- Route of elimination
The elimination of quinidine is achieved by the renal excretion of the unchanged drug (15 to 40% of total clearance) and its hepatic biotransformation to a variety of metabolites (60 to 85% of total clearance).4 When urine has a pH lower than 7, 20% of administered quinidine appears in urine unchanged. However, this proportion decreases to as little as 5% as it becomes more alkaline. The renal clearance of quinidine involves both glomerular filtration and active tubular secretion, moderated by pH-dependent tubular reabsorption.5,6
- Half-life
The elimination half-life of quinidine is 6-8 hours in adults and 3-4 hours in pediatric patients.5,6
- Clearance
The clearance of quinidine ranges from 3 to 5 mL/min/kg in adults. In pediatric patients, quinidine clearance may be two or three times as rapid.5,6

Quinidine overdoses have been well described. The ingestion of 5 g of quinidine resulted in the death of a toddler, while an adolescent was reported to survive after ingesting 8 g of quinidine.5,6 A 16-month that ingested quinidine tablets developed a concretion of bezoar in the stomach, which led to non-declining toxic levels of quinidine. A gastric aspirate revealed that quinidine levels were 50 times higher than the ones detected in plasma. In cases of massive overdose, it may be appropriate to perform an endoscopy.5 Acute quinidine overdoses are characterized by ventricular arrhythmias and hypotension. Other signs and symptoms of quinidine overdose may include vomiting, diarrhea, tinnitus, high-frequency hearing loss, vertigo, blurred vision, diplopia, photophobia, headache, confusion and delirium.5,6

- This protein mediates the voltage-dependent sodium ion permeability of excitable membranes. Assuming opened or closed conformations in response to the voltage difference across the membrane, the protein forms a sodium-selective channel through which Na(+) ions may pass in accordance with their electrochemical gradient (PubMed:1309946, PubMed:21447824, PubMed:23085483, PubMed:23420830, PubMed:25370050, PubMed:26279430, PubMed:26392562, PubMed:26776555). It is a tetrodotoxin-resistant Na(+) channel isoform (PubMed:1309946). This channel is responsible for the initial upstroke of the action potential. Channel inactivation is regulated by intracellular calcium levels (PubMed:19074138). Required for normal electrical conduction including formation of the infranodal ventricular conduction system and normal action potential configuration, as a result of its interaction with XIRP2 (By similarity)

- Ion channel that contributes to passive transmembrane potassium transport and to the regulation of the resting membrane potential in brain astrocytes, but also in kidney and in other tissues (PubMed:15820677, PubMed:21653227). Forms dimeric channels through which potassium ions pass in accordance with their electrochemical gradient. The channel is selective for K(+) ions at physiological potassium concentrations and at neutral pH, but becomes permeable to Na(+) at subphysiological K(+) levels and upon acidification of the extracellular medium (PubMed:21653227, PubMed:22431633). The homodimer has very low potassium channel activity, when expressed in heterologous systems, and can function as weakly inward rectifying potassium channel (PubMed:15820677, PubMed:21653227, PubMed:22431633, PubMed:23169818, PubMed:25001086, PubMed:8605869, PubMed:8978667). Channel activity is modulated by activation of serotonin receptors (By similarity). Heterodimeric channels containing KCNK1 and KCNK2 have much higher activity, and may represent the predominant form in astrocytes (By similarity). Heterodimeric channels containing KCNK1 and KCNK3 or KCNK9 have much higher activity (PubMed:23169818). Heterodimeric channels formed by KCNK1 and KCNK9 may contribute to halothane-sensitive currents (PubMed:23169818). Mediates outward rectifying potassium currents in dentate gyrus granule cells and contributes to the regulation of their resting membrane potential (By similarity). Contributes to the regulation of action potential firing in dentate gyrus granule cells and down-regulates their intrinsic excitability (By similarity). In astrocytes, the heterodimer formed by KCNK1 and KCNK2 is required for rapid glutamate release in response to activation of G-protein coupled receptors, such as F2R and CNR1 (By similarity). Required for normal ion and water transport in the kidney (By similarity). Contributes to the regulation of the resting membrane potential of pancreatic beta cells (By similarity). The low channel activity of homodimeric KCNK1 may be due to sumoylation (PubMed:15820677, PubMed:20498050, PubMed:23169818). The low channel activity may be due to rapid internalization from the cell membrane and retention in recycling endosomes (PubMed:19959478)

- General Function
- Binds water, Ca(2+), Na(+), K(+), fatty acids, hormones, bilirubin and drugs (Probable). Its main function is the regulation of the colloidal osmotic pressure of blood (Probable). Major zinc transporter in plasma, typically binds about 80% of all plasma zinc (PubMed:19021548). Major calcium and magnesium transporter in plasma, binds approximately 45% of circulating calcium and magnesium in plasma (By similarity). Potentially has more than two calcium-binding sites and might additionally bind calcium in a non-specific manner (By similarity). The shared binding site between zinc and calcium at residue Asp-273 suggests a crosstalk between zinc and calcium transport in the blood (By similarity). The rank order of affinity is zinc > calcium > magnesium (By similarity). Binds to the bacterial siderophore enterobactin and inhibits enterobactin-mediated iron uptake of E.coli from ferric transferrin, and may thereby limit the utilization of iron and growth of enteric bacteria such as E.coli (PubMed:6234017). Does not prevent iron uptake by the bacterial siderophore aerobactin (PubMed:6234017)

Functions as a pH- and Na(+)-independent, bidirectional transporter (By similarity). Cation cellular uptake or release is driven by the electrochemical potential (i.e. membrane potential and concentration gradient) and substrate selectivity (By similarity). Hydrophobicity is a major requirement for recognition in polyvalent substrates and inhibitors (By similarity). Primarily expressed at the basolateral membrane of hepatocytes and proximal tubules and involved in the uptake and disposition of cationic compounds by hepatic and renal clearance from the blood flow (By similarity). Most likely functions as an uptake carrier in enterocytes contributing to the intestinal elimination of organic cations from the systemic circulation (PubMed:16263091).

Also transports natural polyamines such as spermidine, agmatine and putrescine at low affinity, but relatively high turnover (PubMed:21128598). Involved in the hepatic uptake of vitamin B1/thiamine, hence regulating hepatic lipid and energy metabolism (PubMed:24961373). Mediates the bidirectional transport of acetylcholine (ACh) at the apical membrane of ciliated cell in airway epithelium, thereby playing a role in luminal release of ACh from bronchial epithelium (PubMed:15817714).

Involved in the absorption of ergothioneine from the luminal/apical side of the small intestine and renal tubular cells, and into non-parenchymal liver cells, thereby contributing to maintain steady-state ergothioneine level in the body (PubMed:20601551). Also mediates the bidirectional transport of acetycholine, although the exact transport mechanism has not been fully identified yet (PubMed:22206629). Most likely exports anti-inflammatory acetylcholine in non-neuronal tissues, thereby contributing to the non-neuronal cholinergic system (PubMed:22206629, PubMed:22569296). Displays a general physiological role linked to better survival by controlling inflammation and oxidative stress, which may be related to ergothioneine and acetycholine transports (PubMed:15795384, PubMed:22206629). May also function as a low-affinity Na(+)-dependent transporter of L-carnitine through the mitochondrial membrane, thereby maintaining intracellular carnitine homeostasis (PubMed:10215651, PubMed:15107849, PubMed:16729965).
