概要
The vascular effects of JTV-506 ((-)-(3S,4R)-2.2-bis(methoxymethyl)- 4-[(1,6-dihydro-l-methyl-6-oxo-3-pyridazinyl)amino]-3-hydroxychroman+ ++-6- carbonitrile hemihydrate, CAS 170148-29-5), a new potassium channel opener, was evaluated in isolated coronary arteries and anesthetized dogs. JTV-506 (1 nmol/l-3 mumol/l) produced a concentration-dependent relaxation in porcine isolated epicardial large coronary arteries precontracted with KCl (30 mmol/l), phenylephrine (3 mumol/l), histamine (3 mumol/l), serotonin (5-HT; 300 nmol/l), prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2 alpha; 10 mumol/l), U-46619 (100 nmol/l), endothelin-1 (ET-1; 30 nmol/l) and Bay K-8644 (100 nmol/l). JTV-506 was 2.5-8.5 and 13.3-81.5 times more potent than levcromakalim (CAS 94535-50-9) and nicorandil (CAS 65141-46-0), respectively, but was less potent than nifedipine (CAS 21829-25-4). JTV-506 and levcromakalim produced almost a complete relaxation in arteries precontracted with various kinds of vasoconstrictor, except for KCl. In contrast, nifedipine produced about 80-90% relaxation in arteries, precontracted with PGF2 alpha, U-46619 and ET-1. Thus, this potassium channel opener can be characterized as an agonist-nonselective vasorelaxant. The relaxing effects of JTV-506 and levcromakalim on coronary arteries precontracted with 30 mmol/l KCl was competitively antagonized by 3 mumol/l glibenclamide, an ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channel blocker. In canine isolated epicardial large coronary arteries, 10 mumol/l JTV-506, 10 mumol/l levcromakalim, 100 mumol/l nicorandil and 0.1 mumol/l nifedipine eliminated 10 mmol/l 3,4-diaminopyridine-induced rhythmic contractions. In anesthetized dogs, when administered directly into the coronary artery, JTV-506 induced dose-dependent increases in coronary arterial diameter and coronary blood flow. These results suggest that JTV-506 elicits coronary vasorelaxation through activation of the KATP channel. It is expected that JTV-506 might be useful in the treatment of coronary vasospasm in angina pectoris.
