title: Cardiovascular effects of the novel cardiotonic agent DPI 201-106 in the anaesthetized rat.
abstract: DPI 201-106 (4-[3-(4-diphenylmethyl-1-piperazinyl)-2-hydroxypropoxy]-1H-indole -2- carbonitrile) was given intravenously to anaesthetized male rats. DPI caused an increase in left ventricular dP/dt (LV dP/dt), giving a significant increase at 0.03 mumol/kg. At this dose DPI had no effect on either mean arterial pressure (MAP) or heart rate (HR). At higher doses, MAP decreased transiently. At 0.3 and 1 mumol/kg, HR was decreased. The results indicate that DPI produces positive inotropic and negative chronotropic effects in the anaesthetized rat.
