چکیده
The sodium-calcium exchange (NCX) plays a pivotal role in regulating contractility and electrical activity in the heart. However, the effects of NCX blockers on ventricular arrhythmias are still controversial. We examined the effects of KB-R7943 (KBR) and SEA0400 (SEA), two NCX blockers, on aconitine-induced arrhythmias in guinea pigs using the ECG recordings and the current-clamp method. Using Luo's and Rudy's computer model (1991 Circ Res 68:1501-1526) for ventricular myocytes, we simulated abnormal membrane activity produced by NCX inhibition. In the whole-animal model, KBR in a dose range of 1 to 30 mg/kg (intravenous) suppressed aconitine-induced arrhythmias dose-dependently, but 10 mg/kg of SEA did not suppress these arrhythmias. There was a difference in isolated ventricular myocytes also. KBR (10 microM) suppressed abnormal electrical activity induced by aconitine, but SEA (100 microM) did not show such effects. KBR (10 microM) significantly changed the shape of the action potential configurations (action potential duration at 50% repolarization), but SEA (1-100 microM) did not change these configurations. In the computer simulation study, the aconitine-induced abnormal electrical activity was mimicked by a negative shift of the kinetics of Na+ channels, and this was followed by additional suppression of NCX activity by 90% (mimicking the effect of NCX inhibitors), which enhanced abnormal membrane activity. Our results indicate that the inhibition of aconitine-induced arrhythmias by KBR, not by SEA, might result from a mechanism other than the inhibition of NCX, and thus the involvement of the NCX system plays an insignificant role in the aconitine-induced arrhythmias.

Axonal protection achieved by blockade of sodium/calcium exchange in a new model of ischemia in vivo
Ischemic white matter injury has been relatively little studied despite its importance to the outcome of stroke. To aid such research a new rat model has been developed in vivo and used to assess whether blockade of the sodium/calcium exchanger is effective in protecting central axons from ischemic injury. Vasoconstrictive agent endothelin-1 was injected into the rat spinal cord to induce ische...
متن کاملDiffering cardioprotective efficacy of the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger inhibitors SEA0400 and KB-R7943.
KB-R7943 and SEA0400 are Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger (NCX) inhibitors with differing potency and selectivity. The cardioprotective efficacy of these NCX inhibitors was examined in isolated rabbit hearts (Langendorff perfused) subjected to regional ischemia (coronary artery ligation) and reperfusion. KB-R7943 and SEA0400 elicited concentration-dependent reductions in infarct size (SEA0400 EC(50): 5.7...

متن کاملSEA0400, a novel and selective inhibitor of the Na+-Ca2+ exchanger, attenuates reperfusion injury in the in vitro and in vivo cerebral ischemic models.
The effect of the newly synthesized compound 2-[4-[(2,5-difluorophenyl)methoxy]phenoxy]-5-ethoxyaniline (SEA0400) on the Na+-Ca2+ exchanger (NCX) was investigated and compared against that of 2-[2-[4-(4-nitrobenzyloxy)phenyl]ethyl]isothiourea (KB-R7943). In addition, the effects of SEA0400 on reperfusion injury in vitro and in vivo were examined. SEA0400 was extremely more potent than KB-R7943 ...
