Zocainone is a lesser-known antiarrhythmic agent investigated for its potential to treat cardiac arrhythmias. It functions by blocking sodium channels in cardiac tissue, thereby stabilizing the cardiac action potential and reducing abnormal electrical activity. This mechanism helps restore normal heart rhythm in conditions such as ventricular arrhythmias. Although it showed some promise in early studies, Zocainone has not been widely adopted in clinical practice and remains largely experimental.
