Effect of Timing of Treatment of the Glyburide-Reversible Cardioprotective Activity of BMS-180448
1997
The effect of the timing of treatment with the ATP-regulated potassium channel agonist BMS-180448 was evaluated in isolated rat heart and ferret models of ischemia and reperfusion. In rat hearts, 10 μM BMS-180448, given before and after global ischemia as well as only during reflow, improved reperfusion contractile function and attenuated lactic dehydrogenase release, although reperfusion-only treatment was less effective. Cromakalim (10 μM) and bimakalim (10 μM) treatment before and after global ischemia afforded a degree of protection similar to that of BMS-180448, although they were not cardioprotective when given only during reperfusion. Pre- and post-treatment cardioprotection were abolished by glyburide. Ischemia/reperfusion significantly increased cytosolic calcium concentration ([Ca++]i) and BMS-180448 given only during reperfusion attenuated this change. In anesthetized ferrets, BMS-180448 (2 mg/kg) or vehicle was infused i.v. during a 40-min interval beginning 1) 10 min before coronary occlusion, 2) at the 45th min of ischemia or 3) at the 5th min of reperfusion. Preocclusion administration of BMS-180448 was associated with a 35% reduction in infarct damage from that recorded in vehicle-treated control ferrets. Drug administered at the midpoint of ischemia reduced infarct size ∼44%, whereas delaying BMS-180448 infusion until the 5th min of reperfusion reduced, but still provided a significant (17%) level of salvage. The favorable effects of BMS-180448 in the ferret were not associated with changes in either collateral blood flow or peripheral hemodynamics. Thus BMS-180448 shows some protective effects when given only during reperfusion. Cromakalim and bimakalim did not exert similar actions and the difference may be secondary to the faster penetration of BMS-180448.
