A study on dilazep: II. Dilazep attenuates lysophosphatidylcholine-induced mechanical and metabolic derangements in the isolated, working rat heart.
The effects of dilazep, d-propranolol and lidocaine on the mechanical and metabolic changes induced by lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) were studied in isolated, perfused working rat heart. After a stabilization period, the heart was perfused for 5 min with LPC (10 microM) alone, LPC plus dilazep (5, 10 or 20 microM), LPC plus d-propranolol (30 or 50 microM) or LPC plus lidocaine (30 or 100 microM) and then perfused with normal Krebs-Henseleit bicarbonate (KHB) buffer for a further 20 min. Perfusion with LPC for 5 min followed by KHB for 20 min irreversibly decreased cardiac mechanical function, decreased the tissue levels of adenosine triphosphate and creatine phosphate significantly, and increased the tissue levels of lactate and free fatty acids including arachidonic acid. Dilazep or d-propranolol significantly attenuated the mechanical and metabolic changes induced by LPC, but lidocaine did not. These results indicate that the exogenous LPC causes ischemia-like changes, suggesting that LPC is one of the important factors in producing ischemia-reperfusion derangements in terms of mechanical and metabolic functions, and that both dilazep and d-propranolol can prevent the LPC-induced myocardial damage.
