Bepridil (trade name Vascor) is an diamine calcium channel blocker once used to treat angina pectoris. It is no longer sold in the United States.

It is nonselective.[1]

It has been discussed as a possible option in the treatment of atrial fibrillation.[2]

It has been implicated in causing ventricular arrhythmia (torsades de pointes).

Ebola research

[edit]

In June 2015 a research paper [3] was published finding bepridil to result in a 100% survival rate for mice exposed to ebola during an experiment searching for potential pharmaceutical ebola treatments; indicating its potential use in future ebola research and therapy.[4]

SARS-CoV-2 research

[edit]

A research paper [5] showed that Bepridil inhibited cytopathogenic effects induced by SARS-CoV-2 in Vero E6 cells and in A549 cells in an in vitro assay.
