A radioligand binding assay for the HERG (human ether-a-go-go-related gene) K+ channel was developed to identify compounds which may have inhibitory activity and potential cardiotoxicity. Pharmacological characterization of the [3H]astemizole binding assay for HERG K+ channels was performed using HE...
