Effects of metabolites and analogs of amiodarone on alveolar macrophages: structure-activity relationship.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Amiodarone, an antiarrhythmic drug toxic toward the lung, is metabolized through sequential modifications of the diethylaminoethoxy group to mono-N-desethylamiodarone (MDEA), di-N-desethylamiodarone (DDEA), and amiodarone-EtOH (B2-O-EtOH), whose effects on lung cells are unclear. To clarify this, we exposed rabbit alveolar macrophages to analogs with different modifications of the diethylaminoethoxy group and then searched for biochemical signs of cell damage, formation of vacuoles and inclusion bodies, and interference with the degradation of surfactant protein A, used as a tracer of the endocytic pathway. The substances studied included MDEA, DDEA, and B2-O-EtOH, analogs with different modifications of the diethylaminoethoxy group, fragments of the amiodarone molecule, and the antiarrhythmic agents dronedarone (SR-33589) and KB-130015. We found the following: 1). MDEA, DDEA, and B2-O-EtOH rank in order of decreasing toxicity toward alveolar macrophages, indicating that dealkylation and deamination of the diethylaminoethoxy group represent important mechanisms of detoxification; 2). dronedarone has greater, and KB-130015 has smaller, toxicity than amiodarone toward alveolar macrophages; and 3). the benzofuran moiety, which is toxic to liver cells, is not directly toxic toward alveolar macrophages.

Purpose: The effects of Amiodarone on lung tissue and morphologic changes of alveolar cells. Materials and Methods: in this study, we used 21 mature male rabbits and they were divided into control and two experimental groups. Daily 80 mg/kg amiodarone was injected intra peritoneally to the experimental animals for one or two weeks. The control group received normal saline the same dose as amio...
متن کاملHuman Placental Extract Ameliorates Structural Lung Changes Iinduced by Amiodarone in Rats
Amiodarone is used in treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. Therapeutic use of amiodarone is limited by its side effects, including pulmonary toxicity. Human Placenta Extract (HPE) contains a variety of bio-active substances. Thus, the present study aimed to quantitatively evaluate the protective effects of HPE on the structural lung changes induced by amiodarone using stereological methods. Spragu...

متن کاملEffect of amiodarone on release of cytokines from mouse alveolar macrophages pretreated with eicosapentaenoic acid.
I studied the effect of amiodarone, a cationic amphiphilic drug, on the cytokine release and protein kinase C (PKC) activity of mouse alveolar macrophages. In addition, I examined the relationship between amiodarone and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) with respect to the cytokine release. The decrease in cell number caused by amiodarone was depressed by pretreatment of the macrophages with EPA for ...
متن کاملAmiodarone induces two different types of disorders in mouse alveolar macrophages.
It has been reported that amiodarone induces disorders of alveolar macrophages and pulmonary fibrosis, but the mechanism is not well-understood. This study was performed to elucidate the toxic mechanism from the standpoint of cellular function. Using alveolar macrophages obtained from a male Slc:ICR mouse, several injuries caused by amiodarone were compared to those caused by amantadine and mia...
