Abstract

Nicorandil is a compound with hybrid properties of nitrates and adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-sensitive potassium channel (KATP) opening. The effects of nicorandil and isosorbide dinitrate (ISDN) were investigated in a model of 60-min coronary occlusion/180-min reperfusion in open chest pigs. Three groups of 10 pigs were randomly assessed to receive saline or equihypotensive doses of nicorandil or ISDN. Drug infusion was started at 30 min of ischemia and continued throughout reperfusion. Area at risk (AAR) and infarcted area (IA) were assessed by monastral blue dye-triphenyltetrazolium dual staining technique and calculated by planimetry. Myeloperoxidase concentration (MPO) in the non-ischemic area and in the IA was assessed as an index of presence of neutrophils. Measurements of reduced glutathione (GSH), oxidized glutathione (GSSG), lipofuscine, and malondialdehyde were performed on coronary vein blood as indexes of oxidative stress. IA, as a percentage of AAR, was 78 +/- 10% after saline, 61 +/- 12% after N (p < 0.05 vs. saline), and 69 +/- 14% after ISDN (not significant vs. saline). Cardiac output and left ventricular dP/dt were depressed during coronary occlusion in all groups and their recovery during reperfusion was earl...Continue Reading
