Adenosine A1/A2a receptor agonist AMP-579 induces acute and delayed preconditioning against in vivo myocardial stunning
2004
The purpose of this study was to determine whether the adenosine A1/A2a receptor agonist AMP-579 induces acute and delayed preconditioning against in vivo myocardial stunning. Regional stunning was produced by 15 min of coronary artery occlusion and 3 h of reperfusion (RP) in anesthetized open-chest pigs. In acute protection studies, animals were pretreated with saline, low-dose AMP-579 (15 μg/kg iv bolus 10 min before ischemia), or high-dose AMP-579 (50 μg/kg iv at 14 μg/kg bolus + 1.2 μg·kg−1·min−1 for 30 min before coronary occlusion). The delayed preconditioning effects of AMP-579 were evaluated 24 h after administration of saline vehicle or high-dose AMP-579 (50 μg/kg iv). Load-insensitive contractility was assessed by measuring regional preload recruitable stroke work (PRSW) and PRSW area. Acute preconditioning with AMP-579 dose dependently improved regional PRSW: 129 ± 5 and 100 ± 2% in high- and low-dose AMP-579 groups, respectively, and 78 ± 5% in the control group at 3 h of RP.
