Description
Dronedarone, also known by its brand name Multaq, is a member of the class of 1-benzofurans used for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. It is a close analog of amiodarone, with structural modifications that provide improved safety and pharmacokinetic profile. Dronedarone is less lipophilic, has lower tissue accumulation, and a much shorter serum half-life compared to amiodarone. It also lacks the iodine moieties responsible for thyroid dysfunctions associated with amiodarone.
Uses
Used in Cardiology:
Dronedarone is used as an antiarrhythmic agent for the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) and atrial flutter (AFL). It is specifically indicated to reduce the risk of cardiovascular hospitalization in patients with paroxysmal or persistent AF or AFL, with a recent episode of AF/AFL and associated cardiovascular risk factors, who are in sinus rhythm or who will be cardioverted. Dronedarone is a potent blocker of multiple ion currents and exhibits antiadrenergic effects, making it effective in maintaining normal sinus rhythm in patients with AF.
Overall, dronedarone is well tolerated, with the most common side effects being gastrointestinal in nature, such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.

Metabolism
Dronedarone is extensively metabolised in the liver,
mainly by the cytochrome P450 isoenzyme CYP3A4 to
a less active N-debutyl metabolite, and several inactive
metabolitesAbout 6% of an oral dose is excreted in the urine (entirely
metabolites) and 84% in the faeces (metabolites and
unchanged drug).
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 141626-36-0 includes 9 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 6 digits, 1,4,1,6,2 and 6 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 3 and 6 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 141626-36:
(8*1)+(7*4)+(6*1)+(5*6)+(4*2)+(3*6)+(2*3)+(1*6)=110
110 % 10 = 0
So 141626-36-0 is a valid CAS Registry Number.

Convergent synthesis of dronedarone, an antiarrhythmic agent
Okitsu, Takashi,Ogasahara, Mizuki,Wada, Akimori

We have developed a convergent synthesis of dronedarone, an antiarrhythmic agent. The key steps of the process are the construction of a benzofuran skeleton by iodocyclization and the carbonylative Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling for biaryl ketone formation. This synthetic route required only eight steps from 2-amino-4-nitrophenol in 23% overall yield.
Visible-Light-Induced Radical Carbo-Cyclization/ gem-Diborylation through Triplet Energy Transfer between a Gold Catalyst and Aryl Iodides

Geminal diboronates have attracted significant attention because of their unique structures and reactivity. However, benzofuran-, indole-, and benzothiophene-based benzylic gem-diboronates, building blocks for biologically relevant compounds, are unknown. A promising protocol using visible light and aryl iodides for constructing valuable building blocks, including benzofuran-, indole-, and benzothiophene-based benzylic gem-diboronates, via radical carbo-cyclization/gem-diborylation of alkynes with a high functional group tolerance is presented. The utility of these gem-diboronates has been demonstrated by a 10 g scale conversion, by versatile transformations, by including the synthesis of approved drug scaffolds and two approved drugs, and even by polymer synthesis. The mechanistic investigation indicates that the merging of the dinuclear gold catalyst (photoexcitation by 315-400 nm UVA light) with Na2CO3 is directly responsible for photosensitization of aryl iodides (photoexcitation by 254 nm UV light) with blue LED light (410-490 nm, λmax = 465 nm) through an energy transfer (EnT) process, followed by homolytic cleavage of the C-I bond in the aryl iodide substrates.

A modification of the Nenitzescu reaction was used to obtain Dronedarone from quinonimine 20 and 1,3-diketone 14 (R = CH2CH2CH2NBu2) in a two-stage process in almost 55% overall yield. Our results represent significant improvement over other state-of-the-art methods as no extra steps for the decoration of the benzofuran core are required.
