Amiodarone

A class III antiarrhythmic synthesised in Belgium in 1961 by the chemists Tondeur and Binon and first used against angina; since the 1970s it has been used for ventricular and supraventricular arrhythmias. More than a third of its weight is iodine. This family brings together the active ingredient, pharmacopoeial impurities, labelled standards, nitrosamines and other impurities.

Did you know?It descends from khellin, the active principle of the plant Ammi visnaga, whose fruits are mentioned in Egyptian papyri against renal colic and angina; cromoglicate, used in asthma and allergies, also derives from khellin.
