The antiarrhythmic drugs amiodarone and dronedarone inhibit intoxication of cells with pertussis toxin.
Article in Naunyn-Schmiedeberg's archives of pharmacology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Pertussis toxin (PT) is a virulent factor produced by Bordetella pertussis, the causative agent of whooping cough. PT exerts its pathogenic effects by ADP-ribosylating heterotrimeric G proteins, disrupting cellular signaling pathways. Here, we investigate the potential of two antiarrhythmic drugs, amiodarone and dronedarone, in mitigating PT-induced cellular intoxication. After binding to cells, PT is endocytosed, transported from the Golgi to the endoplasmic reticulum where the enzyme subunit PTS1 is released from the transport subunit of PT. PTS1 is translocated into the cytosol where it ADP-ribosylates inhibitory α-subunit of G-protein coupled receptors (Gαi). We showed that amiodarone and dronedarone protected CHO cells and human A549 cells from PT-intoxication by analyzing the ADP-ribosylation status of Gαi. Amiodarone had no effect on PT binding to cells or in vitro enzyme activity of PTS1 but reduced the signal of PTS1 in the cell suggesting that amiodarone interferes with intracellular transport of PTS1. Moreover, dronedarone mitigated the PT-mediated effect on cAMP signaling in a cell-based bioassay. Taken together, our findings underscore the inhibitory effects of amiodarone and dronedarone on PT-induced cellular intoxication, providing valuable insights into drug repurposing for infectious disease management.
