title: Protective effects of SEA0400, a novel and selective inhibitor of the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger, on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injuries.
abstract: The Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger (NCX) is involved in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injuries. We examined the effects of 2-[4-[(2,5-difluorophenyl)methoxy]phenoxy]-5-ethoxyaniline (SEA0400), a potent and selective inhibitor of NCX, on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury models. In canine cardiac sarcolemmal vesicles and rat cardiomyocytes, SEA0400 potently inhibited the Na(+)-dependent 45Ca(2+) uptake with an IC(50) value of 90 and 92 nM, compared with 2-[2-[4-(4-nitrobenzyloxy)phenyl]isothiourea (KB-R7943, 7.0 and 9.5 microM), respectively. In rat cardiomyocytes, SEA0400 (1 and 3 microM) attenuated the Ca(2+) paradox-induced cell death. In isolated rat Langendorff hearts, SEA0400 (0.3 and 1 microM) improved the cardiac dysfunction induced by low-pressure perfusion followed by normal perfusion. In anesthetized rats, SEA0400 (0.3 and 1 mg/kg, i.v.) reduced the incidence of ventricular fibrillation and mortality induced by occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery followed by reperfusion. These results suggest that SEA0400 is a most potent NCX inhibitor in the heart and that it has protective effects against myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injuries.
