ABSTRACTAIM: To investigated the biochemical mechanisms of the positive inotropic effect of oxyphenamone(Oxy).METHODS: The assays of Na+,K+-ATPase activity, cAMP dependent phosphodiesterase(cAMP-PDE) activity and Ca2+-ATPase activity in sarcoplasmic reticulum(SR) isolated from cardiac muscle, cAMP level in cardiac muscle and the cardiac myofibrillar Ca2+,Mg2+-ATPase activity were adopted and compared with those of strophanthin-G(Str) and milrinone(Mil).RESULTS: Oxy at its effective concentration, showed no remarkable inhibition on Na+,K+-ATPase and cAMP dependent phosphodiesterase (cAMP-PDE) activities, while in parallel experiments Na+,K+-ATPase and cAMP-PDE activities were significantly inhibited by Str and Mil. Their IC50 values were found to be 2.0 μmol.L-1, and 85 μmol.L-1, respectively. Oxy did not affect the cAMP level in cardiac muscle of guinea pig. However, Mil at 30 μmol.L-1 in control experiments increased the cAMP level by 73.6%. These results suggest that the mechanism of the positive inotropic effect of Oxy differs from that of glycosides, PDE inhibitors and β-adrenergic agonists. Oxy at 100 μmol.L-1 inhibited Ca2+-ATPase activity significantly in cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum. Its IC50 value was 200 μmol.L-1. The result suggests that Oxy at high concentration exerts inhibitory effect on the Ca2+ uptake by SR. This mechanism may be partly responsible for the positive inotropic effect of Oxy. Oxy at 50 μmol.L-1 shifted the relationship curve between pCa2+and myofibrillar Ca2+,Mg2+-ATPase activity to the left without affecting the maximum enzyme activity. When pCa 7, Oxy increased the myofibrillar Ca2+,Mg2+-ATPase activity in a concentration dependent manner and EC50 value was about 10 μmol.L-1. MCI-154 at 100 μmol.L-1 and some new derivatives of Oxy with positive inotropic effect enhanced the Ca2+ sensitivity. Mil at 100 μmol.L-1and some new derivatives of Oxy with no positive inotropic effect showed no effect at all. Solaro and Kitada found a positive correlation between the increase of myofibrillar Ca2+,Mg2+-ATPase activity and the enhancement of Ca2+ sensitivity of the contractile protein system.CONCLUSION: These results demonstrate that the biochemical mechanism of the positive inotropic effect of Oxy is different from these of the cardiac glycosides, PDE inhibitors and β-adrenergic agonists, therefore, it may be a novel cardiotonic agent, a calcium sensitizer.
