Abstract The effect of amiodarone on hepatic drug metabolism in vivo was examined in the rat using antipyrine as a model substrate. Pretreatment with oral amiodarone hydrochloride, 100 mg/kg/day, for 5 days resulted in a 19% reduction in antipyrine clearance and a 22% increase in half-life. The administration of single oral doses of amiodarone hydrochloride, 100 mg/kg, 1 or 5 hr prior to antipyrine administration had no significant effect on antipyrine pharmacokinetics. The administration of a single intravenous dose of amiodarone hydrochloride, 50 mg/kg, reduced antipyrine clearance by 32% and increased the half-life by 46%. The desethyl metabolite of amiodarone was also found to reduce antipyrine clearance (21%) after a single oral dose of 100 mg/kg.
