title: Attenuation of daunorubicin-augmented microsomal lipid peroxidation and oxygen consumption by calcium channel antagonists.
abstract: Daunorubicin (20 microM) stimulated NADPH-dependent microsomal lipid peroxidation about 2-fold over control values and enhanced the rate of oxygen utilization by microsomes. The calcium channel blockers tested inhibited daunorubicin-augmented lipid peroxidation and O2 consumption to varying degrees. Inhibition of daunorubicin-stimulated lipid peroxidation was found to be dose dependent; the IC50 (drug concentration producing 50% inhibition of lipid peroxidation) values for verapamil, nifedipine and diltiazem were approximately 150 microM, 200 microM, and 600 microM respectively. Our in vitro studies suggest that calcium channel antagonists may modulate the free radical-mediated, cardiotoxic effects of daunorubicin.
