Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Several clinical pharmaceuticals detected in the aquatic environment are concerned to result in unexpected effects on aquatic species. We found that amiodarone, anti-arrhythmic drug suppressed the metamorphosis of tadpoles controlled by the endogenous thyroid hormone. The antagonistic activity of amiodarone for thyroid hormone and its high accumulation in tadpoles could induce the toxicity. Furthermore, the levels of several drug-metabolizing enzyme expression changed during development of tadpoles, which could be partly caused by thyroid hormone. These are important findings to evaluate chemical accumulation and its related toxicity.
