Desethylamiodarone was reported to inactivate human CYP1A1. To assess this, two protocols were implemented employing dilution and non-dilution of the preincubation mixture. Inactivation studies performed with diluted preincubation mixtures showed no inactivation of CYP1A1 by desethylamiodarone. However there was evidence for a mixed competitive inhibition (competitive and the uncompetitive inhibition constants of 2.1 microM and 9.6 microM, respectively) of CYP1A1 by desethylamiodarone. NADPH addition and/or replenishment were found to be important factors in determining the control activity in inactivation studies.

Amiodarone is a widely used potent antiarrhythmic for the treatment of cardiac disease; however, its use is often discontinued due to numerous adverse effects, including hepatotoxicity. To investigate the role of drug metabolism in this liver toxicity, amiodarone and its major metabolite desethylamiodarone were incubated with HepG2 cells overexpressing a series of cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoforms. Significantly higher cytotoxicity of amiodarone was observed in HepG2 cells overexpressing CYP3A4 or CYP1A1, compared with that observed in empty vector transduced control cells.

Amiodarone is a potent antiarrhythmic drug with several limiting side effects, some of which have been correlated with increased levels of its more toxic metabolite, desethylamiodarone. Elevated serum desethylamiodarone to amiodarone ratios are associated with a risk of amiodarone-induced pulmonary toxicity. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons such as beta-naphthoflavone are known to increase desethylamiodarone levels in rat in vivo.

In the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias, amiodarone (AM) has emerged as a primary therapeutic agent. In addition to other cytochrome P450 (CYP), 1A1 and 1A2 facilitate the biotransformation of AM to the pharmacologically and toxicologically active metabolite, desethylamiodarone (DEA). The exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons can induce these isoforms.

Purpose: To evaluate the metabolism of amiodarone (AM) to desethylamiodarone (DEA) by selected human and rat cytochrome P450, and the inhibitory effect of ketoconazole (KTZ).
Methods: Some important CYP isoenzymes (rat CYP1A1, 1A2, 2C6, 2C11, 2D1, 2D2, and 3A1 and human CYP1A1, 1A2, 2D6 and 3A4) were spiked with various concentrations of AM to determine the relative kinetic parameters for formation of DEA in the presence and absence of various concentrations of KTZ.
Results: The formation of DEA was observed when AM was exposed to each of the CYP tested, although the rates were varied.
