“…Its beneficial anti-arrhythmic effects are attributed to inhibition of sodium, calcium, and potassium currents, while side effects are thought to be related in part to its lipophilicity and its structural similarity to thyroxine. It has been shown to potently inhibit H 3 histamine receptors [22] and to alter adrenergic receptor signaling [23,24] . Early studies reported that amiodarone inhibited radioligand binding to muscarinic receptors [25,26] , a property that we have attributed to an allosteric interaction [17,21] .…”

“…Along side with that, its pharmacological effects are not restricted with blockade of potassium channel, but have a complex influence on electric parameters of the cardiomyocytes membranes [7]. Amiodarone is able to inhibit partially sodium and calcium channels as well as to block β-adrenoceptors [5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. It's considered that this antiarrhythmic drug shows high antiarrhythmic efficacy owing to these properties.…”

“…Studies have shown that amiodarone interacts with several ion channels, inhibiting sodium, calcium, and potassium currents (Kodama et al, 1997) and that it alters adrenergic receptor signaling (Yin et al, 1994;Schnabel et al, 1999). Amiodarone also has been found to inhibit the binding of antagonists to muscarinic receptors (Cohen-Armon et al, 1984;Colvin et al, 1989).…”
