BMS-191095, a cardioselective mitochondrial katp opener, inhibits human platelet aggregation by opening mitochondrial katp channels
2005
We evaluated the antiplatelet effects of two classes of ATP-sensitive potassium channel openers (KATP openers) on washed human platelets, and the study’s emphasis was on the role of mitochondrial KATP in platelet aggregation. Collagen-induced platelet aggregation was inhibited in a dose dependent manner by lemakalim and SKP-450, which are potent cardio-nonselective KATP openers, and also by cardioselective BMS-180448 and BMS-191095 (IC50: 1,130, >1,500, 305.3 and 63.9 μM, respectively), but a significantly greater potency was noted for the cardioselective KATP openers. The latter two KATP openers also inhibited platelet aggregation induced by thrombin, another important blood-borne platelet activator, with similar rank order of potency (IC50: 498.0 and 104.8 μM for BMS-180448 and BMS-191095, respectively). The inhibitory effects of BMS-191095 on collagen-induced platelet aggregation were significantly blocked by a 30-min pretreatment of platelets with glyburide (1 μM) or sodium 5-hydroxydecanoate (5-HD, 100 μM), a nonselective and selective mitochondrial KATP antagonist, respectively, at similar magnitudes; this indicates the role of mitochondrial KATP in the antiplatelet activity of BMS-191095. However, glyburide and 5-HD had no effect when they were added to the platelet cuvette immediately prior to the addition of BMS-191095. These findings indicate that cardioselective mitochondrial KATP openers like BMS-191095 are able to exert cardioprotective effects in cardiac ischemia/reperfusion injury via dual mechanisms directed at the inhibition of platelet aggregation and the protection of cardiomyocytes, and both these mechanisms are mediated by mitochondrial KATP.
