    Product Description

    N-Desbutyl dronedarone is an active metabolite of the antiarrhythmic agent dronedarone (Item No. 9000543).1,2,3 It is formed from dronedarone by cytochrome P450s (CYPs) and monoamine oxidase (MAO) in human hepatocyte preparations.4 N-Desbutyl dronedarone inhibits the binding of 3,3',5-triiodo-L-thyronine (T3; Item No. 16028) to the thyroid hormone receptors TRα1 and TRβ1 (IC50s = 59 and 280 µM for the chicken and human receptors, respectively).1 It inhibits CYP2J2-mediated formation of 14,15-EET from arachidonic acid and soluble epoxide hydrolase-mediated formation of 14,15-DHET from 14,15-EET (IC50s = 1.59 and 2.73 µM, respectively, in cell-free assays).2 N-Desbutyl dronedarone decreases intracellular ATP levels in H9c2 rat cardiomyocytes (IC50 = 1.07 µM) and inhibits mitochondrial complex I, also known as NADH dehydrogenase, and mitochondrial complex II, also known as succinate dehydrogenase, activities in isolated rat heart mitochondria (IC50s = 11.94 and 24.54 µM, respectively).3
