Cardiotonic action of [8]-gingerol, an activator of the Ca++-pumping adenosine triphosphatase of sarcoplasmic reticulum, in guinea pig atrial muscle.
    The Journal of pharmacology and experimental therapeutics, 1988, Volume: 246, Issue:2

    [8]-Gingerol (gingerol), a component of ginger, produced a concentration-dependent positive inotropic effect on guinea pig isolated left atria at concentrations of 1 X 10(-6) to 3 X 10(-5) M. Gingerol also exhibited positive inotropic and chronotropic effects on guinea pig right atria. The gingerol-induced inotropic effect was abolished by ryanodine, but was little affected by propranolol, chlorpheniramine, cimetidine, tetrodotoxin, diltiazem or reserpine. The time to peak tension and relaxation time within a single contraction were shortened by gingerol (1 X 10(-5) M) as well as isoproterenol, whereas they were prolonged by BAY K 8644. In guinea pig isolated atrial cells, gingerol (3 X 10(-6) M) caused an increase in the degree and the rate of longitudinal contractions. In guinea pig left atria, gingerol (1 X 10(-6) to 3 X 10(-5) M) gave little influence on the action potential, although it increased the contractile force of the atria. The whole-cell patch-clamp experiments showed that the slow inward current was little affected by gingerol (1 X 10(-6) to 3 X 10(-5) M) in voltage-clamped guinea pig cardiac myocytes. The measurement of extravesicular Ca++ concentration using a Ca++ electrode indicated that gingerol (3 X 10(-6) to 3 X 10(-5) M) accelerated the Ca++ uptake of fragmented sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) prepared from canine cardiac muscle in a concentration-dependent manner.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
