<p>(S)-Enantiomeric methanesulfonamides are structurally depicted by formula (I) or its pharmacologically acceptable salts where R3 is a C1-9 alkyl substituted with one fluorine atom. These compounds are useful as Class III antiarrhythmic agents without the undesirable side effect of polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (PVT) and are stable against rapid metabolism. Use of the compounds of formula (I) in the preparation of compositions for treating cardiac arrhythmias are also described.</p> |
