چکیده

Inhibition of the sodium-hydrogen exchanger (NHE) is a powerful experimental tool to inhibit sodium and calcium accumulation within the ischemic myocyte and halt progression of cell ischemia to cell necrosis. This paper describes the protocol and rationale of a first large-scale clinical trial designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of cariporide, a novel specific and potent inhibitor of the exchanger.

Inhibition of the Sodium-Hydrogen Exchanger With Cariporide to Prevent Myocardial Infarction in High-Risk Ischemic Situations

Background—The transmembrane sodium/hydrogen exchanger maintains myocardial cell pH integrity during myocardial ischemia but paradoxically may precipitate cell necrosis. The development of cariporide, a potent and specific inhibitor of the exchanger, prompted this investigation of the potential of the drug to prevent myocardial cell necrosis. Methods and Results—A total of 11 590 patients with ...

Cariporide (HOE642), a selective Na+-H+ exchange inhibitor, inhibits the mitochondrial death pathway.

BACKGROUND The Na+-H+ exchanger figures prominently in cardiac ischemia-reperfusion injury. Several experimental and clinical studies have demonstrated a cardioprotective effect of Na+-H+ exchanger inhibition; however, the precise mechanisms have not been established. METHODS AND RESULTS We examined the effects of cariporide (HOE642, 10 micromol/L) on cell death induced by oxidative stress (H...

NHE-1 and NHE-6 activities: ischemic and reperfusion injury.

The study 1 published in this issue of Circulation Research showing that a null mutation of NHE-1 improves the tolerance of the heart to ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) is an important contribution for the following reasons: (1) In the animals with null mutation, contracture during the ischemic period was less and ATP levels were preserved compared with wild-type animals. This observation, on th...

A novel sodium-hydrogen exchanger isoform-1 inhibitor, zoniporide, reduces ischemic myocardial injury in vitro and in vivo.

The cardioprotective efficacy of zoniporide (CP-597,396), a novel, potent, and selective inhibitor of the sodium-hydrogen exchanger isoform 1 (NHE-1), was evaluated both in vitro and in vivo using rabbit models of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury. In these models, myocardial injury was elicited with 30 min of regional ischemia and 120 min of reperfusion. Zoniporide elicited a concentratio...

Successful ventricular defibrillation by the selective sodium-hydrogen exchanger isoform-1 inhibitor cariporide.

BACKGROUND Sodium-hydrogen exchanger isoform-1 (NHE-1) activation worsens functional myocardial abnormalities associated with ischemia and reperfusion. We hypothesize that these abnormalities may limit cardiac resuscitation from ventricular fibrillation (VF) and investigated whether NHE-1 inhibition with the benzoylguanidine derivative cariporide could improve resuscitability, postresuscitation...
