Peculiarities of the Effect of Selective of α2A/D-Adrenoreceptor Blockade on the Isolated Rat Heart
摘要
We studied ex vivo effect of α2A/D-adrenoreceptor (α2A/D-AR) antagonist RX821002 at concentrations of 10–9-10–6 M on inotropy, chronotropy, and coronary flow in Langendorff-isolated rat heart. The minimum concentration of the antagonist did not affect the studied cardiac parameters. The α2A/D-AR antagonist at the concentrations of 10–8-10–6 M increased contraction pressure of the left ventricular myocardium and coronary flow. RX821002 exerted a positive and negative chronotropic effect depending on the concentration. Application of RX821002 at a concentration of 10–7 M caused dual-effect: both an increase and a decrease in heart rate were observed. The most pronounced changes in chronotropy and inotropy were revealed after application of α2A/D-AR blocker at a concentration of 10–7 M.
