title: Effects of K(ATP) channel openers, P-1075, pinacidil, and diazoxide, on energetics and contractile function in isolated rat hearts.
abstract: We investigated the metabolic effects of a potent opener of ATP-sensitive K(+) (K(ATP)) channels, P-1075, in perfused rat hearts with the help of(31)P NMR spectroscopy. A 20 min infusion of 5 microm P-1075 depleted phosphocreatine and ATP by approximately 40%, concomitantly with a two-fold increase in inorganic phosphate, while oxygen consumption by the hearts increased by 50%. P-1075 induced a cardiac contracture (left ventricular end diastolic pressure increased from 6 to 60 mmHg) and a cardiac arrest after an infusion of approximately 9 min. The effects were fully reversed by glibenclamide (5 microm), but not by sodium 5-hydroxydecanoate (0.4 m m). A P-1075-related K(ATP) opener, pinacidil (0.3 m m), partially reversed the effects of P-1075, but a structurally unrelated opener, diazoxide (0.5 m m), had no effect. Pinacidil and diazoxide alone did not significantly affect PCr and ATP levels. Bioenergetic and functional effects similar to those of P-1075 were induced by infusion of a classic mitochondrial uncoupler, 2,4-dinitrophenol (50 microm); however, they were not abolished by glibenclamide. In addition, it was shown, using(87)Rb NMR, that both agents, P-1075 and 2,4-dinitrophenol, resulted in a stimulation of Rb(+) efflux from the Rb(+) loaded rat hearts by approximately 130 and 65%, respectively, in a glibenclamide-sensitive manner. An inhibitory effect of P-1075 on ATP synthesis cannot be explained by its well-known action on sarcolemmal K(ATP) channels. We concluded that, unlike an uncoupling effect of 2,4-dinitrophenol, an inhibitory effect of P-1075 is produced by uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation through the activation of mitochondrial K(ATP) channels.
