title: Antagonism of novel inotropic agents at A1 adenosine receptors and m-cholinoceptors in human myocardium.
abstract: The effects of the new inotropic agents saterinone, sulmazole, UD-CG 212.Cl and milrinone at A1 adenosine receptors and m-cholinoceptors were evaluated in human myocardium from patients with heart failure. At A1 adenosine receptors, all compounds inhibited 3H-DPCPX-binding to ventricular membrane preparations at micromolar concentrations. As judged from the K1-values, the rank order of potency was saterinone greater than sulmazole greater than UD-CG 212.Cl greater than milrinone. The new inotropic agents also displaced the binding of 3H-QNB at m-cholinoceptors. Except for saterinone, the concentration ranges of mean Ki-values were considerably higher at m-cholinoceptors than at A1 adenosine receptors. The rank order of potency was saterinone greater than sulmazole greater than UD-CG 212.Cl greater than milrinone. Competition of the A1 adenosine receptor agonist R-PIA to 3H-DPCPX-binding showed a biphasic curve with a shallow slope (Hill coefficient nH = 0.63) and revealed two affinity states of the A1 adenosine receptor. In the presence of guanine nucleotides [Gpp(NH)p], the competition curve showed one low affinity class of binding sites and was shifted to the right. In contrast, the competition curves of the new inotropic agents were characterized by a monophasic, steeper slope (mean Hill coefficient nH = 0.98). Guanine nucleotides had no effect. Similar results were obtained with saterinone and carbachol at m-cholinoceptors. Competition with carbachol revealed three affinity states of the m-cholinoceptor, the super-high affinity binding was reversed by Gpp(NH)p. Competition with saterinone revealed one class of binding sites which was not influenced by Gpp(NH)p.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
