Product Description

Amiodarone HCl (formerly NSC-85442; NSC85442; NSC 85442; Cordarone), the hydrochloride salt of amiodarone, is an antiarrhythmic drug used to treat and prevent an irregular heartbeat. It acts as a sodium/potassium-ATPase inhibitor and an autophagy activator used to treat various types of cardiac dysrhythmias.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Amiodarone hydrochloride inhibits the inward IhERG tail with an IC50 of 117.8 nM in 94 mM high-K+ external solution ([K+]e) [1]. Amiodarone hydrochloride (1 μM) blocks inwardIhERG by 68.8±6.1%, and concentration response data gave IC50 with h values of 765.5±287.8 nM and 0.9±0.4 for T623A hERG [1]. Amiodarone (1 μM) blocks inward IhERG with IC50 and h values of 979.2±84.3 nM and 1.1±0.1 for S624A hERG [1]. Amiodarone (1-6 μg/mL) promotes cell proliferation in human embryonic lung fibroblasts (HELFs), while PD98059 or SB203580 decreases this action [2]. Amiodarone (1-6 μg/mL) does not induce apoptosis in HELFs cells. Amiodarone hydrochloride (greater than 15 μg/mL) causes apoptosis [2]. Amiodarone hydrochloride (1, 3 and 6 μg/mL; 24 hours) stimulates α-SMA and vimentin mRNA and protein expression associated by an increase in ERK1/2 and p38 MAPK phosphorylation [2].
ln Vivo
Animal models of pulmonary fibrosis can be created with the use of amiodarone hydrochloride in animal modeling. Chronic administration of 90 and 180 mg/kg/day of amiodarone hydrochloride causes a dose-dependent modification of ion channel expression, which is correlated with the drug's effects on cardiac electrophysiology [3].
Cell Assay
Cell Proliferation Assay[2]
Cell Types: HELFs
Tested Concentrations: 1, 3 and 6 μg/mL
Incubation Duration: 24 hrs (hours)
Experimental Results: Increased HELFs proliferation compared with the control group.

Western Blot Analysis[2]
Cell Types: HELFs
Tested Concentrations: 1, 3 and 6 μg/mL
Incubation Duration: 24 hrs (hours)
Experimental Results: α-SMA and vimentin were increased Dramatically in a dose-dependent manner.

RT-PCR[2]
Cell Types: HELFs
Tested Concentrations: 1, 3 and 6 μg/mL
Incubation Duration: 24 hrs (hours)
Experimental Results: Induced an increase of α-SMA and vimentin mRNA expression.
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: Tenweeks old male C57BL/6 mice[3]
Doses: 30, 90, and 180 mg/kg/day
Route of Administration: Treated po (oral gavage) for 6 weeks
Experimental Results: Mice treated with 90 and 180 mg/kg/day had diminished body and heart weights, although their heart weight-to-body weight ratios were not Dramatically different from sham. 6-week treatment induced a decrease in plasma triiodothyronine and an increase in reverse triiodothyronine. This effect reached significance for the 90 and 180 but not for the 30 mg/kg/day dose groups.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
