| Bioactivity | Dronedarone Hydrochloride is a non-iodinated amiodarone derivative that inhibits Na+, K+ and Ca2+ currents. |
| Invitro | Dronedarone (SR-33589) is a multichannel blocker for atrial fibrillation . It is a potent inhibitor of the acetylcholine-activated K+ current from atrial and sinoatrial nodal tissue, and inhibits the rapid delayed rectifier more potently than slow and inward rectifier K+ currents and inhibits L-type calcium current. Under whole-cell patch clamp, it blocks IKr (IC50=3 μM) and ICa-L (IC50=0.18 μM). The effects on ICa-L are use- and frequency-dependent. Dronedarone inhibits current carried by human ether-a-go-go gene (HERG)-expressing oocytes (analagous to IKr) with an IC50 of 9 μM[1]. In guinea pig ventricular myocytes, dronedarone exhibits a state dependent inhibition of the fast Na+ channel current with an IC50 of 0.7±0.1 μM, when the holding potential is −80 mV[2]. |
| In Vivo | Dronedarone (Hydrochloride) reduces significantly the incidence of ventricular fibrillation (VF) from 80 to 30% (p in vivo. Thrombin- and collagen-induced platelet aggregation is impaired indronedarone-treated mice (P\0.05), and expression ofplasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI1), an inhibitor of the fibrinolytic system, is reduced in the arterial wall[4]. |
