Xl. Deng et al., PROTECTIVE EFFECTS OF 3, 6-DIMETHAMIDODIB ENZOPYR-IODONIUM CITRATE ONMYOCARDIAL INJURY-INDUCED BY ISCHEMIA AND REPERFUSION IN RATS, Zhongguo yaoli xuebao, 14(4), 1993, pp. 367-369
3, 6-Dimethamidodibenzopyriodonium citrate (I-65) 0.5 and 1 mg . kg-1
pretreatment reduced the size of myocardial infarct after ischemia for
40 min and reperfusion for 120 min. I-65 0.5 mg . kg-1 decreased myoc
ardial creatine kinase, lactate dehydrogenase release, and Ca2+ accumu
lation after ischemia for 40 min and reperfusion for 120 min. The resu
lts show that I-65 prevents cardiac ischemia and reperfusion injury an
d the effect is considered to be related to inhibition of myocardial C
a2+ accumulation.
