title: Cardioprotection and attenuation of endothelial dysfunction by organic nitric oxide donors in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion.
abstract: The effects of two nitric oxide (NO) donors were evaluated in a 6-h model of feline myocardial ischemia-reperfusion. After 80 min of a 90-min ischemic period, SIN-1 or C87-3754 or their respective controls (i.e., 0.9% NaCl or C88-3934, a control compound which does not release NO) were given i.v. as a bolus (0.1 mg/kg) and infused at 1 mg/kg/h for the entire 4.5-h reperfusion period. Administration of the active NO donors significantly decreased the necrotic area/area-at-risk ratio from 29 +/- 3% in the vehicle group to 9 +/- 2 and 11 +/- 5% in the SIN-1 and C87-3754 groups, respectively (P less than .001). The inactive NO donor C88-3934 failed to reduce infarct size (31 +/- 3%). Neither NO donor reduced the accumulation of neutrophils in the necrotic area when compared to their respective control groups, but both agents significantly attenuated coronary endothelial dysfunction as shown by a vasorelaxation to acetylcholine of 62 +/- 2 and 64 +/- 3% in the SIN-1- and C87-3754-treated arteries, as compared to only a 27 +/- 3 and 34 +/- 4% vasorelaxation in the vehicle and inactive NO donor groups, respectively (P less than .001). Our studies show that SIN-1 and C87-3754 exert beneficial effects in a 6-h model of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion. Both NO donors decreased myocardial necrosis and decreased the reperfusion-induced endothelial dysfunction without significantly altering the pressure-rate index (i.e., an index of myocardial oxygen demand).
