title: The action of creatinol 0-phosphate on the inotropic effect of isoprenaline in isolated rat atria and in anesthetized dogs.
abstract: The action of N-methyl-N-(beta-hydroxyethyl) guanidine O-phosphate (creatinol O-phosphate) was studied on the contractility of the heart, in vitro on isolated rat atria and in vivo in anesthetized dogs. Creatinol O-phosphate was without action on the contractility of isolated rat atria stimulated by isoprenaline 10(-8) mol/l which produced the maximum inotropic effect. Creatinol O-phosphate increased the contractility evoked by isoprenaline 10(-5) mol/l and impaired the development of the negative inotropic effect evoked by prolonged treatment with this large dose. In dogs, creatinol O-phosphate pretreatment increased the positive inotropic effect of large but not low isoprenaline dosages. It is concluded that creatinol O-phosphate increased the contractile efficiency of the heart submitted to the action of an excess of catecholamines.
