Trimetazidine effects on oxidative damage

چکیده

Trimetazidine is an anti anginal medication and ensures the proper functioning of transmembrane ionic channels by maintaining intracellular ATP production in ischemic conditions. Trimetazidine prevents the accumulation of calcium in cardiomyocytes, adjusts cellular acidosis, and decreases production of free oxygen radicals. Trimetazidine blocks long chain 3-ketoacyl coenzyme A thiolase activity, thereby shifting ATP production more towards glucose oxidation instead of fatty acid β-oxidation during myocardial ischemia. By inhibiting fatty acid β-oxidation, fewer free radicals are formed in the cardiomyocytes with more efficient oxygen consumption and ATP production, resulting in recovery of myocardial contractile function and inhibition of malignant arrhythmias. Moreover, cardiac enzymatic activities such as phosphorylase and ATPase increased significantly in ischemic areas with trimetazidine pretreatment before myocardial ischemia. Protective effects of trimetazidine by increasing ventricular fibrillation threshold during coronary artery occlusion were consistent in animal studies. Heart Metab; 2013;60:27–29

Role of Trimetazidine in Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery

Trimetazidine is a drug that has been used to reduce the damage of reperfusion injury, which is a mechanism of oxidative aggression that occurs in coronary syndromes, angioplasty procedures, as well as in cardiovascular surgeries. Seeking to improve myocardial protection during procedures that involve reperfusion, attention was recently turned to research on cytoprotective drugs which act on se...

Trimetazidine, a metabolic modulator, has cardiac and extracardiac benefits in idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy.

BACKGROUND The anti-ischemic agent trimetazidine improves ejection fraction in heart failure that is hypothetically linked to inhibitory effects on cardiac free fatty acid (FFA) oxidation. However, FFA oxidation remains unmeasured in humans. We investigated the effects of trimetazidine on cardiac perfusion, efficiency of work, and FFA oxidation in idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy. METHODS AN...

The effects of trimetazidine on lipopolysaccharide-induced oxidative stress in mice

The effects of trimetazidine, a novel anti-ischemic agent, on the development of oxidative stress induced in mice with lipopolysaccharide endotoxin were investigated. The drug was administered orally once daily at doses of 1.8, 3.6 or 7.2 mg/kg for two days prior to intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of lipopolysaccharide E (200 μg/kg) and at time of endotoxin administration. Mice were euthanized...

Trimetazidine Protects against Smoking-Induced Left Ventricular Remodeling via Attenuating Oxidative Stress, Apoptosis, and Inflammation

Trimetazidine, a piperazine derivative used as an anti-anginal agent, improves myocardial glucose utilization through inhibition of fatty acid metabolism. The present study was designed to investigate whether trimetazidine has the protective effects against smoking-induced left ventricular remodeling in rats. In this study, Wistar rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: smoking group (exposed...
