Cell-Permeable Succinate Rescues Mitochondrial Respiration in Cellular Models of Amiodarone Toxicity

Amiodarone is a potent antiarrhythmic drug and displays substantial liver toxicity in humans. It has previously been demonstrated that amiodarone and its metabolite (desethylamiodarone, DEA) can inhibit mitochondrial function, particularly complexes I (CI) and II (CII) of the electron transport syst...

Cell-Permeable Succinate Rescues Mitochondrial Respiration in Cellular Models of Amiodarone Toxicity
description Amiodarone is a potent antiarrhythmic drug and displays substantial liver toxicity in humans. It has previously been demonstrated that amiodarone and its metabolite (desethylamiodarone, DEA) can inhibit mitochondrial function, particularly complexes I (CI) and II (CII) of the electron transport system in various animal tissues and cell types. The present study, performed in human peripheral blood cells, and one liver-derived human cell line, is primarily aimed at assessing the concentration-dependent effects of these drugs on mitochondrial function (respiration and cellular ATP levels). Furthermore, we explore the efficacy of a novel cell-permeable succinate prodrug in alleviating the drug-induced acute mitochondrial dysfunction. Amiodarone and DEA elicit a concentration-dependent impairment of mitochondrial respiration in both intact and permeabilized platelets via the inhibition of both CI- and CII-supported respiration. The inhibitory effect seen in human platelets is also confirmed in mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and HepG2 cells. Additionally, amiodarone elicits a severe concentration-dependent ATP depletion in PBMCs, which cannot be explained solely by mitochondrial inhibition. The succinate prodrug NV118 alleviates the respiratory deficit in platelets and HepG2 cells acutely exposed to amiodarone.
