PCA50941, a new 1,4-dihydropyridine, reverses endothelin-induced cardiogenic shock in the anesthetized goat.
    Life sciences, 1998, Volume: 62, Issue:21

    This study was designed to test the hypothesis that the properties of novel 1,4-dihydropyridine PCA50941 could favor the recovery of cardiogenic shock. Coronary blood flow (CBF), measured with an electromagnetic flow probe placed on the left circumflex coronary artery, systemic arterial pressure and heart rate were recorded in 24 anesthetized goats; left ventricular pressure and dP/dt were also recorded in 19 of these goats. Under control conditions, intracoronary injections in 5 goats of PCA50941 (10-120 microg) caused smaller reductions of CBF than those of Bay K 8644 (0.3-10 microg) (the reduction of CBF by 120 microg PCA50941 was 25% and that by 10 microg Bay K 8644 was 43%), and i.v. infusions in 4 goats of PCA50941 (10-300 microg/min) did not modify CBF nor the other hemodynamic variables recorded, whereas i.v infusion of Bay K 8644 (10-30 microg/min) reduced CBF by 20% and increased arterial pressure, left ventricular pressure and dP/dt. During control conditions and endothelin-induced cardiogenic shock, respectively, the values for 15 goats were: for CBF, 33+/-4 vs. 16+/-4 ml/min; for mean arterial pressure, 88+/-4 vs. 60+/-5 mm Hg; for left ventricular systolic pressure, 102+/-5 vs. 75+/-4 mm Hg; for dP/dt, 1453+/-147 vs. 925+/-101 mm Hg/s (all P<0.05), and for heart rate, 77+/-6 vs. 81+/-6 beats/min (P>0.05). Intravenous infusion of PCA50941 (100 microg/min) reversed the hemodynamic variables from the shock state to control values within 20 min in 5 of 6 animals, whereas i.v. administration of Bay K 8644 (10-30 microg/min) was not effective in 4 of 5 animals, and the vehicle (DMSO) was not effective in none of 4 animals in reversing the hemodynamic shock state. Therefore, it is suggested that PCA50941, a novel 1,4-dihydropyridine, has a cardiovascular profile that might be suitable for treating cardiogenic shock states.
