Trace amine-associated receptor 1 (TAAR1) is activated by amiodarone metabolites
摘要:
Amiodarone (Cordarone, Wyeth-Ayerst Pharmaceuticals) is a clinically available drug used to treat a wide variety of cardiac arrhythmias. We report here the synthesis and characterization of a panel of potential amiodarone metabolites that have significant structural similarity to thyroid hormone and its metabolites the iodothyronamines. Several of these amiodarone derivatives act as specific agonists of the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) trace amine-associated receptor 1 (TAAR(1)). This result demonstrates a novel molecular target for amiodarone derivatives with potential clinical significance. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
