Drug

D1394 | Dronedarone

Molecular Formula C31H44N2O5S
Molecular Weight 556.8
Structure
State solid
Clearance Plasma clearance = 130-150 L/h.
Volume of distribution When intravenously administered, the volume of distribution is 1400 L.
Route of elimination 6% of the dose was excreted in the urine, mainly as metabolites (no unchanged compound excreted in urine), and 84% was excreted in feces, mainly as metabolites.
Protein binding Dronedarone and its N-debutyl metabolite is >98% protein bound - mainly to albumin.
Half life Elimination half-life: 13-19 hours
Absorption Because of presystemic first pass metabolism the absolute bioavailability of dronedarone without food is low, about 4%. It increases to approximately 15% when dronedarone is administered with a high fat meal. After oral administration in fed conditions, peak plasma concentrations of dronedarone and the main circulating active metabolite (N-debutyl metabolite) are reached within 3 to 6 hours. After repeated administration of 400 mg twice daily, steady state is reached within 4 to 8 days of treatment. The steady state Cmax and exposure of the main N-debutyl metabolite is similar to that of the parent compound.
