CAS 1951-25-3: Amiodarone
Description:Amiodarone is a complex organic compound primarily used as an antiarrhythmic medication to treat various types of cardiac dysrhythmias. Its chemical formula is C25H29I2N, indicating that it contains carbon, hydrogen, iodine, and nitrogen atoms. Amiodarone is characterized by its lipophilic nature, which allows it to accumulate in various tissues, particularly in the lungs, liver, and thyroid. The substance exhibits a long half-life, leading to prolonged effects even after discontinuation of therapy. It functions by inhibiting adrenergic stimulation, prolonging the myocardial action potential, and affecting ion channels, which helps stabilize heart rhythms. Amiodarone is also known for its potential side effects, including thyroid dysfunction, pulmonary toxicity, and skin changes, necessitating careful monitoring during treatment. Its solubility in organic solvents and limited solubility in water are notable physical properties, influencing its formulation and administration routes. Overall, amiodarone is a vital medication in cardiology, but its use requires a thorough understanding of its pharmacokinetics and potential adverse effects.
