amiodarone and Cryptococcosis

amiodarone has been researched along with Cryptococcosis in 2 studies

Amiodarone: An antianginal and class III antiarrhythmic drug. It increases the duration of ventricular and atrial muscle action by inhibiting POTASSIUM CHANNELS and VOLTAGE-GATED SODIUM CHANNELS. There is a resulting decrease in heart rate and in vascular resistance.
amiodarone : A member of the class of 1-benzofurans that is 1-benzofuran substituted by a butyl group at position 2 and a 4-[2-(diethylamino)ethoxy]-3,5-diiodobenzoyl group at position 3. It is a cardiovascular drug used for the treatment of cardiac dysrhythmias.

Cryptococcosis: Fungal infection caused by genus CRYPTOCOCCUS.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Amiodarone treatment influenced some virulence factors, interrupting the calcium-calcineurin signaling pathway."1.62New nanotechnological formulation based on amiodarone-loaded lipid core nanocapsules displays anticryptococcal effect. ( Barcellos, VA; Frank, LA; Garcia, AWA; Guterres, SS; Kinskovski, UP; Kmetzsch, L; Marques, BM; Motta, H; Oliveira, NK; Pohlmann, AR; Reuwsaat, JCV; Schrank, A; Squizani, ED; Staats, CC; Vainstein, MH, 2021)
" A significant portion of the drugs are orally bioavailable and cross the blood-brain barrier, features key to the development of a widely applicable anticryptococcal agent."1.39A repurposing approach identifies off-patent drugs with fungicidal cryptococcal activity, a common structural chemotype, and pharmacological properties relevant to the treatment of cryptococcosis. ( Baxter, BK; Butts, A; Chabrier-Rosello, Y; DiDone, L; Koselny, K; Krysan, DJ; Wellington, M, 2013)
