Cardiovascular effects of a new dihydropyridine calcium antagonist.
The effects of methyl 2,6-dimethyl-4-(2-nitrophenyl)-5-(2-oxo- 1,3,2-dioxaphosphorinan-2-yl)-1,4-dihydropyridine-3-carboxylate (DHP-218), a 1,4-dihydropyridine derivative, on the cardiovascular system and myocardial oxygen consumption were investigated. Effects on cardiovascular system: In urethane-alpha-chloralose anesthetized dogs, DHP-218 at a dose of 0.01 mg/kg i.v. decreased blood pressure (BP), and at 0.03 mg/kg i.v., long-lasting BP decrease was accompanied by an increase in heart rate (HR), and an increase in blood flow of the coronary, vertebral and internal carotid arteries. No significant changes in myocardial contractile force (MCF) and blood flow of the common carotid and renal arteries were observed. The duration of action was different for various effects. At doses more than 0.05 mg/kg i.d., blood pressure decreased and HR, MCF and the blood flow of coronary and vertebral arteries increased. The effects of nifedipine on the cardiac and regional blood flow were observed at doses more than 0.001 mg/kg i.v. and 1 mg/kg i.d., but the duration of its action was very short compared to those of DHP-218. Effects on cardiohemodynamics: In urethane-alpha-chloralose anesthetized dogs, DHP-218 at a dose of 0.01 mg/kg i.v. produced a decrease in BP and total peripheral resistance (TPR) and an increase in cardiac output (CO). At a dose of 0.03 mg/kg, a decrease in BP and TPR and increases in HR and CO were observed. The duration of action was different for various parameters. No significant changes in dp/dtmax, stroke volume and cardiac work were observed.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
