Application

Amiodarone hydrochloride has been used to study its interaction with cysteamine to stimulate autophagy in cultured biosensor cell lines. It has also been used in larval and adult organ toxicogenomic screening to analyze the transcriptional effects of pharmaceuticals.
Amiodarone hydrochloride is a non-selective ion channel blocker. Amiodarone induces an immediate influx of Ca2+ in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, followed by mitochondrial fragmentation and cell death. Amiodarone hydrochloride has also been used in a study to determine concentrations of thyroid disrupting substances in effluents from wastewater treatment plants.
