title: Effects of BMY21190, an inhibitor of cAMP phosphodiesterase, on infarct size and myeloperoxidase activity in the ischemic myocardium of a canine occlusion-reperfusion model.
abstract: This study was performed to assess the effect of BMY21190, an inhibitor of cAMP phosphodiesterase, on infarct size using a canine ischemic model that underwent a 90-min occlusion and a 6-hour reperfusion of the left coronary artery. The infarct zone/area at risk of the BMY21190 group was significantly smaller than that of the vehicle group (36.1 +/- 7.8%; 62.4 +/- 4.3%, respectively; p < 0.05). Myeloperoxidase activity, an indicator of neutrophil infiltration, was significantly correlated to infarct size (r = 0.6893, p < 0.02). Myeloperoxidase activity (0.14 +/- 0.07 U/100 mg tissues) measured in the area at risk from hearts of the BMY21190-treated group was significantly lower than that of the vehicle-treated tissue (0.40 +/- 0.08 U/100 mg tissue, p < 0.05). It is suggested that BMY21190 reduces infarct size through the inhibition of neutrophil infiltration in the canine model.
