Scientific Background | Amiodarone Hydrochloride is a non-selective ion channel blocker primarily used as an antiarrhythmic agent. In neuroscience, Amiodarone has been shown to induce autophagy by inhibiting mTORC1, a key regulator of cellular metabolism and protein turnover. In yeast models, it triggers calcium influx, mitochondrial fragmentation, and cell death—mechanisms that parallel neurodegenerative processes. Amiodarone’s ability to modulate autophagy and mitochondrial dynamics makes it a useful compound for studying neurodegeneration, particularly in models of Parkinson’s disease and other disorders involving mitochondrial dysfunction. Its broad-spectrum activity also supports research into ion channel regulation and calcium signaling in neuronal cells. |
