[Biochemical mechanisms of the cardioprotective effect of the K(ATP) channels opener flocalin (medicinal form) in ischemia-reperfusion of myocardium].

Strutyns'kyĭ RB, Kotsiuruba AV, Rovenets' RA, Strutyns'ka NA, Iagupols'kyĭ IuL, Sagach VF, Moĭbenko OO.AbstractIn experiments on the anaesthetized dogs with modeling of experimental ischemia (90 min) and reperfusion (180 min) of myocardium it was investigated changes of biochemical processes in arterial blood at intragastric introduction of medicinal form (tablets) of flocalin (the fluorine-containing opener of ATP-sensitive potassium channels) in a dose 2,2 mg/kg. The data analysis allowed to define a few possible mechanisms of cardioprotective action offlocalin, which prevented the opening of a mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP) and inhibition of apoptosis induced by it. They consist, from one side, in activating of the constitutive de novo biosynthesis of nitric oxide by cNOS, from other side, in suppression of inducible nitric oxide de novo synthesis by iNOS in such way to prevent the formation of toxic peroxynitrite by co-operation of surplus nitric oxide with superoxide anion, thereby limits the generation of toxic active forms of nitrogen (*NO2) and oxygen (*OH). The first effect of flocalin takes place due to limitation the degradation of L-arginine by arginase which keeps substrat for cNOS, second--due to the inhibition of superoxide generation, in particular, by xanthine oxidase (marker uric acid), lipoxigenase (marker LTC4) and cyclooxygenase (marker TxB2). Because LTC4 have coronaroconstrictory, arrhythmogenic and chemoattractory properties in the conditions of myocardial ischemia, inhibition of its production both with superoxide generation (markers H2O2 and diene conjugates) may be the another mechanisms of flocalin's cardioprotection. Powerful antiischemic action of flocalin (marker nitrite anion) as the mechanisms of cardioprotection is possible as well as inhibition of ATP and GTP degradation (marker hypoxanthine+xanthine+inosine levels in the blood) and, possibly, stimulation ofhaem degradation by haem oxygenase (markers total bilirubin and Fe in the blood). Diminishing content of free arachidonic acid in arterial blood can testify inhibition of cellular membranes phospholipides degradation by phospholipase A2 as a result of flocalin cardioprotection.

[Influence of flocalin on development of apoptosis and necrosis at anoxia-reoxygenation of culture rats neonatal cardiomyocytes].

Strutyns'kyĭ RB, Nagibin VS, Strutyns'ka NA, Ianchiĭ OR, Moĭbenko OO.AbstractThe influence of the new cardioprotector flocalin was investigated on the culture of rat's neonatal cardiomyocytes during anoxia-reoxygenation modelling. The mechanisms of apoptosis and necrosis were investigated under influence of ATP-sensitive potassium (K(ATP)) channels activation and in conditions of blocking of the L-type calcium (VGCCs) channels. Flocalin was added in the culture medium in the dose 5 and 20 microM at 2 minutes before anoxia (30 minutes) and following reoxygenation (60 minutes). These doses are near to: the first dose means the opening of K(ATP) channels and the second one means the IC50 block of VGCCs. It is discovered that in dose 5 microM of flocalin drew the change of correlation of living, necrotizing and apoptizing cells drew side-shifting living. The number of live cells was almost the same like in control (experiments without anoxia-reoxygenation modelling). The opening of K(ATP) channels decreases necrosis in two times and fully prevented development of apoptosis which was induced anoxia-reoxygenation modelling. Flocalin depressed the apoptosis of neonatal cardiomyocytes so that he was on to 36% less than in control group (without anoxia-reoxygenation). But in the high dose (20 microM) that provokes not only K(ATP) channels opening but also IC50 block of VGCCs cardioprotection was not detected after modelling of anoxia-reoxygenation. The last can be investigation both enough strong activating of the potassium channels and by investigation of both factors are opening of potassium and inhibition of VGCCs channels and, accordingly, substantial diminishing of level of introcellular Ca2+ and violation of metabolic processes yet to anoxia-reoxygenation. Thus, small doses of flocalin, that induce moderate opening of K(ATP) channels significantly decrease the number of necrotic and apoptotic cells in culture of rat neonatal cardiomyocytes induced by anoxia-reoxygenation.

[The influence of activation of the ATP-sensitive potassium channels by flocalin on the function of the cardiovascular system].

Strutyns'kyĭ RB, Rovenets' RA, Strutyns'ka NA, Neshcheret OP, Moĭbenko OO.AbstractIn experiments on the anaesthetized dogs the influence of a new fluorine-containing opener of ATP-sensitive potassium (K(ATP)) channels flocalin on the cardiohemodynamic of great animals in vivo was studied. Flocalin introduced intravenously in doses 0.01 - 1.5 mgs/kg. It is shown that it reduces in dose-dependent manner a system arterial pressure, perfusion pressure in coronary artery and general peripheral resistance of vessels with maximal effects on 56.8 +/- 2.7, 22.4 +/- 4.7 and 47.2% +/- 6.5% accordingly at most dose 1.5 mgs/kg. Flocalin causes development of cardiodepressive reactions in heart, that is exhibited in dose-dependent the decrease of pressure in the left ventricle, speed of growth (dP/dt(max)) and reduction (dP/dt(min)) in it's of pressure with maximal effects on 37.1 +/- 5.1, 51.2 +/- 9.4 and 55.6% +/- 6.9% accordingly at introduction of most dose of flocalin. Diminish of the cardiac out put and heart rate with a maximal effects on 23.1% +/-12.7% and 19.2% +/- 1.7% accordingly at a dose 1.0 mgs/kg was shown. It should be noted that considerable reduction of heart rate and general peripheral resistance of vessels takes place only at the large doses of flocalin - 1 and 1.5 mgs/kg. Thus, it is shown that activation of K(ATP) channels by flocalin causes the dose-dependent decrease of pressure in the system of circulation of blood and contraction activity of myocardium.
