The self-formulated Ergan Tang demonstrates efficacy in alleviating AF burden, reducing inflammatory factor levels, and improving TCM symptom scores among elderly patients with paroxysmal AF characterized by qi-yin deficiency. Notably, its efficacy is comparable to that of amiodarone.
Moreover, DIA reduced TNF-α and caspase-3 protein expression. DIA attenuated AMD-induced pulmonary fibrosis via alleviating the TGF1/α-SMA/Smad3 pathway, reducing STAT-3 activation, and combating oxidative stress and inflammation in addition to promoting autophagy and abrogating apoptosis.

Testes specimens were examined to assess the morphological changes and the level of expression of caspase-3 apoptotic marker. The results indicated that; amiodarone hydrochloride could induce a dose-dependent toxicity, causing oxidative stress, inflammation, cellular degeneration, deposition of collagen and enhanced apoptosis in the seminiferous tubules.
Apart from that, the MD simulation study also disclosed stable binding interactions of DH-18 and MMP-2 along with crucial interactions with active site amino acid residues namely His120, Glu121, His124, His130, Pro140, and Tyr142. In a nutshell, this study highlighted the importance of biphenylsulfonamide-based novel and promising MMP-2 inhibitors to open up a new avenue for potential therapy against CML.
Tumor necrosis factor alpha levels were significantly reduced upon L-carnitine exposure. These results suggest that L-carnitine can be used to treat amiodarone-induced pulmonary dysfunction.

Amiodarone diminished the fluorescent dots of LysoTracker® Red DND-99 scattered over the cytoplasm of HUVEC. Therefore, the present study revealed that amiodarone selectively inhibited the TLR3-mediated NF-κB signaling pathway by blocking the acidification of intracellular organelles.
