title: Effects of CP-060S, a novel Ca(2+) channel blocker, on oxidative stress in cultured cardiac myocytes.
abstract: The effect of (-)-(S)-2-[3,5-bis(1, 1-dimethylethyl)-4-hydroxyphenyl]-3-[3-[N-methyl-N-[2-(3, 4-methylenedioxyphenoxy)ethyl]amino]propyl]-1,3-thiazolidin- 4-one hydrogen fumarate (CP-060S), a novel Ca(2+) channel blocker, on hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2))-induced cytotoxicity was studied in cultured rat cardiac myocytes. The CP-060S effect was compared with that of CP-060R, an optical isomer of CP-060S with a less potent Ca(2+) channel blocking action than CP-060S. H(2)O(2) increased the release of lactate dehydrogenase from cardiac myocytes and decreased the formation of 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide) (MTT) formazan in cardiac myocytes (i.e., cytotoxic action). Both CP-060S (1 microM) and CP-060R (1 microM) attenuated to a similar extent the foregoing alterations induced by H(2)O(2). On the other hand, 1,3-dimethyl-2-thiourea (10 mM), a scavenger of both H(2)O(2) and hydroxyl radical, also attenuated the H(2)O(2)-induced cytotoxicity whereas diltiazem (10 microM) did not. In an experiment using electron spin resonance (ESR) with 5, 5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (DMPO), a spin-trapping agent, both CP-060S and CP-060R decreased the intensity of DMPO-hydroxyl radical signal concentration dependently. These results suggest that CP-060S protects cardiac myocytes from oxidative stress through its radical scavenging action.
