Bepridil Hydrochloride
The hydrochloride salt of bepridil, a calcium channel blocker historically used for angina and heart rhythm disorders. It was withdrawn from widespread clinical use due to its risk of causing life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias, particularly in patients with underlying heart conditions. It remains a reference compound in cardiac research.
