RESUMEN
11192U90 was submitted to receptor binding and monoamine uptake assays. It bound potently at serotonin 5-HT2, dopaminergic D2, serotonin 5-HT1A, and adrenergic alpha 1 and alpha 2 receptors. It also bound to dopaminergic D1, serotonin 5-HT3, serotonin 5-HT4, and sigma sites, albeit with lower affinity. It was essentially inactive at 22 other sites, including those for cholinergic M1 and M2. It weakly inhibited uptake of 3H-norepinephrine, 3H-serotonin and 3H-dopamine. Acute doses of 1192U90 (5 and 20 mg/kg P.O.) increased whole-brain levels of dopamine metabolites but did not affect levels of norepinephrine, dopamine, and serotonin. Subcutaneous injection of 1192U90 (0.8 mg/kg/day) and clozapine (20 mg/kg/day) for 28 days preferentially decreased the number of spontaneously active dopamine cells in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) but not the substantia nigra (SN) of rats, as measured by population sampling. This outcome is characteristics of atypical antipsychotics like clozapine. Acute injections of 1192U90 reversed the rate-inhibiting effects of microiontophoretically applied dopamine and intravenously injected apomorphine and d-amphetamine on dopamine cell firing. Intravenous injection or iontophoretic application of 1192U90 or the 5-HT1A agonist (+/-)8-OH-DPAT inhibited the firing rates of dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) neurons in rats, and the effects of both compounds were blocked by iontophoretically applied S(-) propranolol, a 5-HT1A antagonist. The results suggest that 1192U90 is a preferential dopamine D2 antagonist as well as a 5-HT1A agonist that may prove to be an atypical antipsychotic.

Ryanodine (1) and dehydroryanodine (2) have a polar face formed by cis-hydroxyls at C-2, C-4, C-6, and C-12. The importance of the hydroxyls to the action of 1 and 2 at the ryanodine receptor (ryr) of calcium release channels is examined at [3H]-1 binding sites in brain and skeletal muscle and in heart membranes relative to cardiac contractility, a pharmacologic response which appears to be mediated by the ryr. Five types of changes are considered: blocking the 4- and 6-hydroxyls as cyclic borates and boronates; blocking the 10- and 12-hydroxyls as cyclic phosphates, phosphonates, and phosphoramidates; methylation at nitrogen or hydroxyls at C-4 and C-10; dehydration of the C-2 hydroxyl; additional data for a 4,12-oxygen-bridged series. The first change has little effect on potency possibly due to the lability of the boron protective groups whereas the cyclic phosphorus compounds have reduced activity. Methylation reduces potency the least at nitrogen and the C-4 hydroxyl. Dehydration of 1 to 2-deoxy-2(13)-dehydro-1 allows the restoration of oxygen at C-2 by conversion to epoxides or a diol. One of the epoxides and 2-deoxy-2(13)-dehydro-2 retain 8-31% of ryanodine's potency in the ryr assays and 81% in the cardiac contractility system. In the 4,12-oxygen-bridged series, high potency at the receptor and cardiac muscle is retained in the 4-hydroxy ketal.

Ryanodine (1) and dehydroryanodine (2) are equipotent probes for the ryanodine receptor (ryr) of calcium release channels and differ only in 9eq-methyl for 1 and 9,21-methylene for 2. Ryanoids 1 and 2 are used here to prepare novel modifications of the cyclohexane substituents to determine their effects on ryr activity and selectivity. 10-Oxo-1 when reacted with carbonyl and other reagents gave 13 C-10 derivatives including the epi-amine and epi-4-azidobenzoyl hydrazide as a candidate affinity probe. Four derivatives of 2 including the delta 8-10-hydroxy and delta 8-10-oxo compounds. Defunctionalization of the cyclohexane ring of 2 or its 4,6-ethylboronate was achieved in part by controlled periodate oxidation of the 9,21-diol to the 21-nor-9-oxo compounds. These in turn provided access to the 9ax- and 9eq-hydroxy derivatives and to the 21-nor-10-deoxy-9-oxo compound which was converted to 21-nor-10-deoxy-1 and 10-deoxy-2 along with the epimeric 10-deoxy-9-hydroxy compounds. Ryanoids of similar potency to 1 as inhibitors of [3H]-1 binding in mouse brain, rabbit skeletal muscle, and canine ventricle ryr preparations and in rat cardiac contractility assay (inhibition of mechanical response to electrical stimulation) are epi-1 and the 10-epi-amino, 10-epi-methoxyamino, and 10-epi-azidobenzoyl hydrazide derivatives and 10-deoxydehydroryanodine. With a few exceptions the potency of the ryanoids at the cardiac ryr correlates well with their inhibition of cardiac contractility, indicating that the activity is associated with stabilizing the calcium release channel in a subconducting state, thereby uncoupling the excitation-contraction process.

Effects of amrinone (AMR), a phosphodiesterase inhibitor, alone and in combination with dobutamine (DOB), on hemodynamics and O2 delivery were studied during porcine endotoxemia. Pentobarbital-anesthetized pigs were randomly administered either Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide (endotoxin) or equivolumetric .9% NaCl (control) as a continuous infusion for 4 h. From 2 to 4 h (T = 120-240 min) of endotoxin infusion, pigs were randomly administered one of the following treatments; AMR infusion (40 micrograms/kg/min) (AMRlow); DOB (10 micrograms/kg/min) (DOB); AMR infusion (40 micrograms/kg/min) + DOB (AMRlow+DOB); AMR bolus (.75 mg/kg) followed by AMR infusion (40 micrograms/kg/min) (AMRhigh); or AMR bolus (.75 mg/kg) followed by infusion (40 micrograms/kg/min) + DOB (AMRhigh+DOB). Myocardial samples were obtained at the end of the experiment and flash-frozen for beta-adrenergic receptor analysis. Endotoxin significantly (p < .05) decreased cardiac index, right ventricular ejection fraction, stroke volume index, maximum rate of rise of left ventricular pressure (dP/dtmax), mean arterial pressure, and O2 delivery, and increased pulmonary vascular resistance and mean pulmonary arterial pressure (p < .05). AMRlow+DOB significantly (p < .05) increased cardiac index, dP/dtmax, right ventricular ejection fraction, stroke volume index, O2 delivery and consumption, and decreased mean pulmonary arterial pressure, pulmonary vascular resistance, mean arterial pressure, and systemic vascular resistance. beta-Adrenergic receptor density (Bmax) and binding equilibrium dissociation constant (KD) for [3H]dihydroalprenolol were not affected by endotoxin or any treatment (p < .05). Endotoxin-induced hemodynamic deterioration and decreased O2 delivery was attenuated by AMRlow+DOB. Potential applications of this combination may exist in treatment of septic patients with inadequate myocardial performance and reduction in O2 delivery complicated by pulmonary hypertension.

BACKGROUND: Whether biochemical and histological abnormalities of skeletal muscle (SM) develop in patients with chronic heart failure (HF) remains controversial. In the present study, dogs with chronic HF were used to examine potential alterations of SM fiber type, fiber size, number of capillaries per fiber (C/F), beta-adrenergic receptor density (Bmax), and fiber ultrastructural integrity. METHODS AND RESULTS: HF was produced in 17 dogs by sequential intracoronary microembolizations. Biopsies of the lateral head of the triceps muscle were used in all studies. Type I and type II fibers were differentiated by myofibrillar ATPase (pH 9.4 or 4.2). Bmax was assessed by radioligand binding and SM ultrastructure by transmission electron microscopy. Comparisons were made with biopsies obtained from nine control dogs. The percentage of SM type I fibers was reduced in HF dogs compared with control dogs (19 +/- 2% versus 32 +/- 5%) (p < 0.001), whereas the percentage of SM type II fibers was increased (81 +/- 2% versus 68 +/- 5%) (p < 0.001). The change in fiber type composition was not associated with a preferential atrophy or hypertrophy of either fiber type. There was no difference in SM Bmax (198.9 +/- 14.3 versus 186.8 +/- 17.3 fmol/mg protein) or in C/F (5.37 +/- 0.26 versus 5.84 +/- 0.21) between HF dogs and control dogs. No ultrastructural abnormalities were present in SM fibers of HF dogs. CONCLUSIONS: In dogs with HF, there is a decrease in the relative composition of the slow-twitch type I SM fibers and an increase in fast-twitch type II fibers. The shift in fiber type composition is not associated with preferential atrophy of either fiber type or with a reduction in C/F, beta-adrenergic receptor density, or structural abnormalities of the myofibers.

Effects of chronic heart failure upon receptor binding and cardiac function were studied in mongrel dogs. Heart failure was induced by three to seven, graded, sequential, intracoronary microembolizations performed 1 to 3 weeks apart. Depressed systolic and diastolic left ventricular function, reduced cardiac output, increased systemic vascular resistance, increased plasma norepinephrine concentration, left ventricular hypertrophy, and dilation were associated with the development of heart failure in this model. Three months after the last embolization, the density and affinity of myocardial beta adrenoceptors and voltage sensitive calcium channels were quantified by analyzing saturation isotherms of specific radioligand binding. [3H]Dihydroalprenolol and [3H]nitrendipine bound specifically and with high affinity to cardiac beta adrenoceptors and calcium channels, respectively. Scatchard transformation of the specific binding of these radioligands in membranes prepared following intracoronary embolization demonstrated a 47% decrease in the density of [3H]dihydroalprenolol binding sites (605 +/- 20 fmol/mg, normal, vs. 323 +/- 18 fmol/mg, failed; P < 0.05) and a 20% decrease in [3H]nitredipine binding sites (371 +/- 11 fmol/mg, normal, vs. 298 +/- 17 fmol/mg, failed; P < 0.05). The binding equilibrium dissociation constants for [3H]dihydroalprenolol and [3H]nitrendipine were not significantly different between normal and failed myocardium. There was no difference in the sialic acid content in the sarcolemmal membranes prepared from normal and failed dog hearts (31.07 +/- 0.76 nmol/mg, normal, vs. 30.58 +/- 5.25 nmol/mg, failed). This is inconsistent with the selective purification of membranes utilized in these radioligand binding studies.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Effects of prolonged isoproterenol infusion upon the density of cardiac calcium channels, calcium-mediated contractile responses, and the ability of forskolin to enhance tension development and cyclic AMP accumulation were studied in ventricular muscle preparations from Sprague-Dawley rats. Isoproterenol infusion (400 micrograms/kg per h s.c., 4 days) significantly decreased calcium channel density (Bmax) in cardiac microsomal membranes as quantified by a 32% decrease in specific [3H]nitrendipine binding sites; binding affinity (KD) was unchanged. A 57% decrease of beta-adrenoceptors confirmed homologous down regulation. To examine functional effects of decreased [3H]nitrendipine binding sites, responses to calcium, BAY K8644 and nifedipine were determined in isolated right ventricular strips. Significant decreases in basal developed tension were observed in muscles from isoproterenol-infused rats. However, concentration-dependent increases in contractility in response to CaCl2 or BAY K8644 were comparable, and the negative inotropic effect of nifedipine was unchanged. Whereas isoproterenol infusion was associated with significantly decreased basal cardiac cyclic AMP concentrations, exposure of ventricular strips from either vehicle- or isoproterenol-infused rats to 10 microM forskolin resulted in comparable increases in cyclic AMP and in developed tension. Cumulative, submaximal concentrations of forskolin also produced similar increases in contractility with maximum responses in ventricular strips from vehicle-infused animals attained at 4.4 microM forskolin. Higher concentrations resulted in automaticity. By contrast, ventricle from isoproterenol-infused animals responded to 14.4 microM forskolin with maximal increases in force of contraction.

Effects of prolonged in vivo infusion of phenylephrine upon receptor binding and cardiac contractility were studied in Sprague-Dawley rats. A 1-hr i.v. infusion of phenylephrine (3 mg/kg/hr) resulted in a sustained 50% increase in diastolic blood pressure and 5% increase in heart rate. Chronic (6-day) infusion (3 mg/kg/hr) utilizing Alzet mini-osmotic pumps maintained plasma concentrations of phenylephrine at 1.0 microgram/ml, depleted myocardial norepinephrine stores 8-fold and resulted in a modest cardiac hypertrophy. Density and affinity of myocardial adrenoceptors and calcium channels were quantified by analyzing saturation isotherms of radioligand binding. [3H]Prazosin, [3H]dihydroalprenolol and [3H]nitrendipine bound specifically and with high affinity to cardiac alpha-1 and beta adrenoceptors and calcium channels, respectively. As measured by Scatchard analyses, phenylephrine infusion significantly decreased the maximum number (Bmax) of specific [3H]prazosin binding sites by 39% (430 +/- 20 vs. 263 +/- 16 fmol/mg of protein; P less than .05). Chronic phenylephrine treatment also decreased the Bmax for [3H]dihydroalprenolol binding by 31% (124 +/- 3.3 vs. 86 +/- 6.6 fmol/mg of protein; P less than .05) and the Bmax for [3H]nitrendipine binding by 32% (342 +/- 8.8 vs. 235 +/- 6.7 fmol/mg of protein; P less than .05). Binding affinities (Kd) of [3H]prazosin, [3H]dihydroalprenolol and [3H]nitrendipine remained unchanged. Administration of vehicle alone or surgical manipulation due to osmotic pump implantation did not affect either the density or affinity of [3H]prazosin, [3H]dihydroalprenolol or [3H]nitrendipine binding. Contractile responses to phenylephrine were studied in isolated ventricular strips to determine the functional significance of alpha-1 adrenoceptor down-regulation.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Phenoxybenzamine (POB, 10(-6) - 10(-4) M) inhibited the responses of guinea pig ileal longitudinal smooth muscle to both muscarinic agonists and K+-depolarization but was more effective against the agonist-induced responses. POB inhibited binding of both the muscarinic antagonist [3H]quinuclidinyl benzilate (QNB) and the Ca2+ channel antagonist [3H]nitrendipine and was, paralleling its effects on mechanical responses, more effective against [3H]QNB binding. POB reduced specific [3H]QNB binding by a reduction in Bmax with no change in KD, but inhibited [3H]nitrendipine binding by reducing KD with no effect on Bmax. It is suggested that the activity of POB against Ca2+ channels may underlie the ability of POB, and other 2-halogenoethylamines, to inhibit a wide variety of apparently discrete pharmacological events.
