Afe. Rump et al., INFLUENCE OF (-)-S-BAY K-8644, (+ -)-BAY W-5035 AND (+/-)-BAY T-5006 ON HEMODYNAMICS AND FITC-DEXTRAN 3 ELUTION KINETICS IN ISOLATED RAT HEARTS/, General pharmacology, 24(3), 1993, pp. 631-636
1. We investigated the effects of the new calcium-agonists (+/-)-Bay W
5035 and (+/-)-Bay T 5006 in comparison to (-)-S-Bay K 8644 on hemody
namics and epimyocardial perfusion in Langendorff rat hearts. 2. At eq
uieffective inotropic concentration, vasoconstriction of coronary resi
stance vessels was significantly less after (+/-)-Bay W 5035 or (+/-)-
Bay T 5006 than after (-)-S-Bay K 8644 application. 3. FITC-Dextran 3
elution kinetics indicated that the epimyocardial vascular volume was
significantly reduced only by (-)-S-Bay K 8644. 4. Moreover, (-)-S-Bay
K 8644 enhanced transcoronary exchange more markedly than (+/-)-Bay W
5035 or (+/-)-Bay T 5006, reflecting the differences in coronary cons
trictor activity. 5. We conclude that in comparison to (-)-S-Bay K 864
4 the relation between inotropy and vasoconstriction is more favorable
for (+/-)-Bay W 5035 or (+/-)-Bay T 5006.
