Background

Dronedarone is a Class III antiarrhythmic drug that works to restore the normal sinus rhythm in patients with paroxysmal or persistent atrial fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation is a common sustained arrhythmia where the treatment primarily focuses on stroke prevention and symptom management. It is managed by rate control, rhythm control, prevention of thromboembolic events, and treatment of the underlying disease.1 Similar to amiodarone, dronedarone is a multichannel blocker that works to control rhythm and rate in atrial fibrillation.2 It meets criteria of all four Vaughan Williams antiarrhythmic drug classes by blocking sodium, potassium, and calcium ion channels and inhibiting β-adrenergic receptors.1,13

Dronedarone is a related benzofuran compound to amiodarone but its chemical structure lacks iodine moieties which are associated with amiodarone-induced thyroid problems.1,8 Additionally, the methyl sulfonyl group in its structure renders dronedarone to be more lipophilic with a shorter half-life than amiodarone.1 This ultimately leads to reduced tissue accumulation of the drug and decreased risk for organ toxicities, such as thyroid and pulmonary toxicities.8 Commonly marketed as Multaq®, dronedarone was approved by the FDA in July 2009 and Health Canada in August 2009. A safety concern for the risk of drug-induced hepatocellular injury has been issued following marketing of dronedarone.11

Pharmacodynamics

Dronedarone is an antiarrhythmic agent that restores normal sinus rhythm and reduces heart rate in atrial fibrillation. In another model, it prevents ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation.9 Dronedarone moderately prolongs the QTc interval by about 10 ms on average.13 Dronedarone decreases arterial blood pressure and reduces oxygen consumption. It reduces myocardial contractility with no change in left ventricular ejection fraction. Dronedarone vasodilates coronary arteries through activation of the nitric oxide pathway.9 In clinical studies, dronedarone reduced incidence of hospitalizations for acute coronary syndromes and reduced incidence of stroke.3 Dronedarone exhibits antiadrenergic effects by reducing alpha-adrenergic blood pressure response to epinephrine and beta 1 and beta 2 responses to isoproterenol.9

Dronedarone was shown to inhibit triiodothyronine (T3) signalling by binding to TRα1 but much less so to TRβ1.7 The treatment of dronedarone in patients with severe heart failure and left ventricular systolic dysfunction was associated with increased early mortality related to the worsening of heart failure.4 In animal studies, the use of dronedarone at doses equivalent to the recommended human doses was associated with fetal harm. In clinical studies and postmarketing reports, dronedarone was shown to cause hepatocellular liver injury and pulmonary toxicities, such as interstitial lung disease, pneumonitis, and pulmonary fibrosis.13 Compared to its related compound amiodarone, dronedarone has a faster onset and offset of actions with a shorter elimination half-life and low tissue accumulation.1,8

Mechanism of action

Atrial fibrillation is the most common type of arrhythmia that is caused by abnormal electrical activity in the atria. In atrial fibrillation, tachyarrhythmia, or fast heart rate, can either be paroxysmal (less than 7 days) or persistent (more than 7 days). Atrial fibrillation causes turbulent and abnormal blood flow through the heart chambers, leading to decreased the effectiveness of the heart to pump blood and an increased likelihood of thrombus formation within the atria which can ultimately dislodge and cause a stroke.12

Dronedarone achieves heart rate and rhythm control in atrial fibrillation. In vitro, dronedarone decreased the maximum rate of the rise of an action potential in a concentration- and frequency-dependent manner.2 Cardiac action potentials are generated by ionic currents of multiple voltage-gated ion channels, including potassium, sodium, and calcium channels.6 Dronedarone is a multichannel blocker that meets the criteria of all four Vaughan Williams antiarrhythmic drug classes1 but the contribution of each of these activities to the drug's antiarrhythmic effect is unknown.13 Dronedarone inhibits rapid Na+ currents rate-dependently (class Ib), non-competitively antagonizes α– and β-adrenergic receptors (class II), blocks K+ outward currents (class III) and blocks slow Ca2+ inward currents (class IV).1 More specifically, it decreases delayed-rectifier K+ current (IKr), slowly activating delayed-rectifier K+ current (IKs), inward rectifier potassium current (IK1), peak Na+ current (INa) and L-type Ca2+ current (ICa (L)).2,3 Dronedarone ultimately increases refractory periods, decelerates cardiac conduction, and prolongs cardiac action potential and refractory periods.1,9

Absorption

Dronedarone is well absorbed after oral administration (>70%).1 It displays low systemic bioavailability due to extensive first-pass metabolism. The absolute bioavailability of dronedarone without and with a high-fat meal is 4% and 15%, respectively. The peak plasma concentrations of dronedarone and its main circulating N-debutyl metabolite are reached within 3 to 6 hours after administration with food.

Following repeated administration of 400 mg dronedarone twice daily, the steady-state was reached within 4 to 8 days of initial treatment. The steady-state Cmax and systemic exposure to the N-debutyl metabolite are similar to that of the parent compound.13

Volume of distribution

The volume of distribution at steady-state ranges from 1200 to 1400 L following intravenous administration.13

Protein binding

The in vitro plasma protein binding of dronedarone and its N-debutyl metabolite is 99.7% and 98.5%, respectively. Both mainly bind to albumin and are not capable of saturation.1

Metabolism

Dronedarone predominantly undergoes CYP3A-mediated hepatic metabolism. Initial metabolism of dronedarone involves N-debutylation to form the N-debutyl-dronedarone, which retains 1/10 to 1/3 of pharmacological activity of the parent compound.13 N-debutyl-dronedarone can be further metabolized to phenol-dronedarone via O-dealkylation and propanoic acid-dronedarone via oxidative deamination. Dronedarone can also be metabolized by CYP2D6 to form benzofuran-hydroxyl-dronedarone. Other detectable metabolites include C-dealkyl-dronedarone and dibutylamine-hydroxyl-dronedarone, along with other minor downstream metabolites with undetermined chemical structures.5

Route of elimination

Following oral administration, about 84% of the labeled dose is excreted in feces and 6% is excreted in urine, mainly as metabolites. Unchanged parent compound and the N-debutyl metabolite accounted for less than 15% of the total radioactivity in the plasma.13

Half-life

The elimination half life ranges from 13 to 19 hours.13

Clearance

Following intravenous administration, the clearance ranged from 130 to 150 L/h.13

Toxicity

In an acute toxicity study, the oral LD50 in rat was >2,000 mg/kg.10

In oral studies, dronedarone showed a limited potential for toxicity in humans in acute overdose situations.9 However, it is recommended that the patient's cardiac rhythm and blood pressure is monitored in the event of overdose. Symptomatic and supportive treatments should be initiated.13
