Application

Amiodarone hydrochloride has been used to study its interaction with cysteamine to stimulate autophagy in cultured biosensor cell lines.[1] It has also been used in larval and adult organ toxicogenomic screening to analyze the transcriptional effects of pharmaceuticals.[2]
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.

  2. What is the solubility of Product A8423, Amiodarone hydrochloride, and in which solvents may it be reconstituted?

    1 answer
    1. Sigma-Aldrich tests the solubility of Product A8423, Amiodarone hydrochloride in water at a concentration of 50 mg/ml. This requires heating at 105 °C for 10 minutes. This concentration is above the solubility maximum at room temperature. As per the chemicals encyclopedia published by the Royal Society of Chemistry 13th Ed., Entry #482, solubility at 25 °C, (g/100mL):  Water (0.07), Ethanol (1.28), Methanol (9.98), Chloroform (44.51), Methylene Chloride (19.2), and Hexane (0.03).Reportedly, the solubility of the product is 10 mg/ml each in DMSO and in dimethylformamide.
