The T-type calcium channel inhibitor Mibefradil was reported to protect the heart from atrial remodeling, a key process involved in the development of atrial fibrillation and arrhythmias. Mibefradil is not a selective T-type calcium channel inhibitor and also affects the function of different ion channels. Our aim was to develop a selective T-type calcium channel inhibitor to validate the importance of T-type-related pharmacology in atrial fibrillation. Structural optimisation of a previously disclosed hit series focussed on minimising exposure to the central nervous system and improving pharmacokinetic properties, while maintain adequate potency and selectivity. This resulted in the design of N-[[1-[2-(tert-butylcarbamoylamino)ethyl]-4-(hydroxymethyl)-4-piperidyl]methyl]-3,5-dichloro-benzamide, a novel, selective, peripherally restricted chemical probe to verify the role of T-type calcium channel inhibition on atrial fibrillation protection. 相似文献

The (+)- and (?)-enantiomers of 3-isopropyl 5-(4-methylphenethyl) 1,4-dihydro-2,6-dimethyl-4-(2-pyridyl)-3,5-pyridinedicarboxylate were synthesized using an efficient highly enantioselective (ee ≥ 96%) variant of the Hantzsch dihydropyridine synthesis. The key step in this procedure involved the asymmetric Michael addition of a metalated chiral aminocrotonate, derived from D -valine or L -valine, respectively, to the Knoevenagel acceptor (Z)-2-isopropoxycarbonyl-1-(2-pyridyl)-but-1-en-3-one. Both enantiomers exhibited a dual cardioselective partial calcium channel agonist (positive inotropic)/smooth muscle selective calcium channel antagonist effect. The relative in vitro smooth muscle calcium channel antagonist activities of the (?):(+) enantiomers was 26:1. In contrast, the (+)-enantiomer exhibited a greater in vitro positive inotropic effect on guinea pig left atrium where the contractile force was maximally increased by 14.8% at a concentration of 1.63 × 10?8 M. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

Replacement of the morpholinyl moiety in (S,E)-N-[1-(3-morpholinophenyl)ethyl]-3-phenylacrylamide (1) with heteroaryl groups led to the identification of (S,E)-N-1-[3-(6-fluoropyridin-3-yl)phenyl]ethyl-3-(2-fluorophenyl)acrylamide (5) as a potent KCNQ2 potassium channel opener. Among this series of heteroaryl substituted acrylamides, (S,E)-N-1-[3-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)phenyl]ethyl-3-(2-fluorophenyl)acrylamide (9) exhibits balanced potency and efficacy. The syntheses and the KCNQ2 opener activity of this series of acrylamides are described. 相似文献

The synthesis and analytical testing of two new fluorescent chiral derivatizing agents (-)-(S)-flunoxaprofen and (-)-(S)-naproxen isocyanate, is described. In a few simple steps the free carboxylic acids [(S)-flunoxaprofen and (S)-naproxen] are activated with ethyl chloroformate/sodium azide and transformed to the corresponding isocyanates. The crystalline reaction products display high enantiomeric and chemical purity and stability. The direction of the optical rotation of both substances is inverse to that of the corresponding carboxylic acids. At ambient temperature the reagents swiftly react with primary and secondary amines, yielding highly fluorescent ureas. The applicability of the two reagents for the resolution of racemic amines was tested with a number of pharmaceuticals (antiarrhythmics, beta-adrenergic antagonists, calcium channel blockers, centrally acting antidepressants). The diastereoisomeric derivatives were efficiently resolved and separated from side-products by means of normal and reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The use and sufficient sensitivity of the two reagents for pharmacokinetic studies were demonstrated with a determination of plasma levels of propranolol enantiomers after oral administration of the racemic drug [80 mg (R,S)-propranolol-HCl] to two volunteers. 相似文献

9-(S)-(3-Hydroxy-2-phosphonylmethoxypropyl)adenine (HPMPA) was prepared from 9-(S)-(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)adenine (DHPA) via its 3-O-chloromethanephosphonate. The latter compound is obtained by treatment of DHPA with chloromethanephosphonyl dichloride and the 3'-isomer separated from its 2'-congener by ion-exchange chromatography. The 3'-isomer is prepared selectively by the same method starting from 2',6-dibenzoyl derivative of DHPA. The 3'-ester is transformed to HPMPA by treatment with aqueous alkali. Alternatively, 9-(S)-(2-hydroxy-3-triphenylmethoxypropyl)-N6-benzoyladenine can be converted to HPMPA by reaction with dialkyl p-tolylsulfonyloxymethane-phosphonates in the presence of NaH followed by successive acid and alkaline treatment. 相似文献

Receptor binding, electrophysiological, and inotropic effects of the pure dihydropyridine enantiomers (+)S202-791 and (-)R202-791 were studied in cardiac preparations. The KI for (+)S202-791 binding correlated with the ED50's for an increase in contractile force and an increase in calcium current, the latter effect occurring at depolarized as well as resting holding potentials. The KI for (-)R202-791 binding was much lower than the IC50's for inhibition of calcium current measured at holding potentials of -80 or -90 mV and a negative inotropic effect, but correlated closely with the IC50 for inhibition of calcium current measured at -30 mV. Thus, (+)S202-791, is a voltage independent calcium channel activator and (-)R202-791 is a voltage dependent calcium channel inhibitor. 相似文献

Inhibition of African swine fever virus DNA synthesis by (S)-9-(3-hydroxy-2-phosphonylmethoxypropyl)adenine 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

The acyclic nucleotide analogue (S)-9-(3-hydroxy-2-phosphonylmethoxypropyl)adenine [(S)-HPMPA] is a potent and selective inhibitor of African swine fever virus (ASFV) replication. Using the DNA-DNA hybridization technique with plasmid pRPEL-2 as probe, we have shown that (S)-HPMPA exerts a specific, dose-dependent, inhibitory effect on viral DNA synthesis. Also, (S)-HPMPA inhibits the production of late viral proteins, especially IP-73, in ASFV-infected MS and Vero cells. When evaluated under the same experimental conditions, phosphonoacetic acid (PAA) also caused an inhibition of viral DNA and late viral protein synthesis but only so at a concentration which was 10- to 20-fold higher than that required for (S)-HPMPA. 相似文献

In the present study, we have investigated the effects of protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) inhibitors on the Ca(V)3.1 calcium channel stably transfected in HEK293 cells using the whole-cell configuration of the patch-clamp technique. We have tested two different tyrosine kinase inhibitors, genistein and tyrphostin AG213, and their inactive analogs, genistin and tyrphostin AG9. Bath application of genistein, but not genistin, decreased the T-type calcium current amplitude in a concentration-dependent manner with an IC(50) of 24.7+/-2.0 microM. This effect of genistein was accompanied by deceleration of channel activation and acceleration of channel inactivation. Intracellular application of neither genistein nor genistin had a significant effect on the calcium current. Extracellular application of 50 microM tyrphostin AG213 and its inactive analogue, tyrphostin AG9, did not affect the current through the Ca(V)3.1 channel. The effect of genistein on the channel was also not affected by the presence of catalytically active PTK, p60(c-src) inside the cell. We have concluded that genistein directly inhibited the channel. This mechanism does not involve a PTK-dependent pathway. The alteration of the channel kinetics by genistein suggests an interaction with the voltage sensor of the channel together with the channel pore occlusion. 相似文献

Carvedilol is currently used as the racemic mixture, (R,S)-carvedilol, consisting of equal amounts of (R)-carvedilol, an alpha-blocker, and (S)-carvedilol, an alpha- and beta-blocker, which have never been tested in their optically pure forms in human subjects. We performed a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study in 12 healthy male volunteers. Subjects received single oral doses of 25 mg (R,S)-carvedilol, 12.5 mg (R)-carvedilol, 12.5 mg (S)-carvedilol, and placebo at 8 AM as well as at 8 PM. Exercise was performed at 11 AM, and heart rate and blood pressure were measured at rest and after 10 min of exercise. Urine was collected between 10 AM and 6 PM, as well as between 10 PM and 6 AM, and the amounts of urinary 6-hydroxy-melatonin sulfate (aMT6s) were determined by RIA. Compared to placebo, (R)-carvedilol increased heart rate during exercise (+4%, P < 0.05) and recovery (+10%, P < 0.05); (S)-carvedilol decreased heart rate during exercise (-14%, P < 0.05) and recovery (-6%, P < 0.05), and systolic blood pressure during exercise (-12%, P < 0.05); (R,S)-carvedilol decreased heart rate during exercise (-11%, P < 0.05), and systolic blood pressure at rest (-7%, P < 0.05) and during exercise (-10%, P < 0.05). None of the agents had any significant effect on the release of aMT6s. Our results indicate that only (S)-carvedilol causes beta-blockade, whereas (R)-carvedilol appears to increase sympathetic tone, presumably as a physiological reaction to the decrease of blood pressure caused by alpha-blockade. None of the drugs had any influence on melatonin release. The weak clinical net effect of beta-blockade of (R,S)-carvedilol at rest might be one reason why this drug causes fewer side effects than other beta-blockers, such as a reduction of nocturnal melatonin release. 相似文献

Congenital hyperinsulinism is a disorder of pancreatic beta-cell function characterized by failure to suppress insulin secretion in the setting of hypoglycemia, resulting in brain damage or death if untreated. Loss-of-function mutations in the K(ATP) channel (composed of two subunits: Kir6.2 and SUR-1) are responsible for the most common and severe form of congenital hyperinsulinism. Most patients are unresponsive to available medical therapy and require palliative pancreatectomy. Similar to the human condition, the SUR-1(-/-) mouse is hypoglycemic when fasted and hyperglycemic when glucose-loaded. We have previously reported that the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor antagonist exendin-(9-39) raises fasting blood glucose in normal mice. Here we examine the effect of exendin-(9-39) on fasting blood glucose in SUR-1(-/-) mice. Mice were randomized to receive exendin-(9-39) or vehicle. Fasting blood glucose levels in SUR-1(-/-) mice treated with exendin-(9-39) were significantly higher than in vehicle-treated mice and not different from wild-type littermates. Exendin-(9-39) did not further worsen glucose tolerance and had no effect on body weight and insulin sensitivity. Isolated islet perifusion studies demonstrated that exendin-(9-39) blocked amino acid-stimulated insulin secretion, which is abnormally increased in SUR-1(-/-) islets. Furthermore, cAMP content in SUR-1(-/-) islets was reduced by exendin-(9-39) both basally and when stimulated by amino acids, whereas cytosolic calcium levels were not affected. These findings suggest that cAMP plays a key role in K(ATP)-independent insulin secretion and that the GLP-1 receptor is constitutively active in SUR-1(-/-) beta-cells. Our findings indicate that exendin-(9-39) normalizes fasting hypoglycemia in SUR-1(-/-) mice via a direct effect on insulin secretion, thereby raising exendin-(9-39) as a potential therapeutic agent for K(ATP) hyperinsulinism. 相似文献

Abstract: l -Glutamate (3-1,000 μ M ) and (1S,3R)-l-aminocyclopentane-1,3-dicarboxylic acid (1S.3R-ACPD; 10-1,000 μ M ), a selective agonist for the metabotropic glutamate receptor, stimulated the formation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate in a concentration-dependent manner. l -Glutamate was half as efficacious as 1S,3R-ACPD. N -methyl- d -aspartate (nMDA; 1 n M to 1 m M ) did not significantly influence the response to a maximally effective concentration of 1S,3R-ACPD (100 μ M ). On the other hand, coapplication of (R,S)-α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxa-zole-4-propionic acid (AMPA; 1-300 n M ) produced a concentration- and time-dependent inhibition of the 1S,3R-ACPD effect, with a maximal inhibition (97%) at 100 n M . Ten micromolar 6-cyano-7-nitroquinoxaline-2,3-dione. an antagonist of the AMPA receptor, blocked the inhibitory effect of AMPA. Reduced extracellular calcium concentration, as well as 10 μ M nimodipine, an l -type calcium channel antagonist, inhibited the AMPA influence on the 1S,3R-ACPD response. W-7, a calcium/calmodulin antagonist, prevented the inhibition by AMPA. whereas H-7. an inhibitor of protein kinase C, had no effect. These data suggest that activation of AMPA receptors has an inhibitory influence on inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate formation mediated by stimulation of the metabotropic glutamate receptor. The mechanism of action involves calcium influx through l -type calcium channels and possible activation of calcium/calmodulin-dependent enzymes. 相似文献

The arylazide 1,4-dihydropyridine (-)-[3H]azidopine binds to a saturable population of sites in guinea-pig heart membranes with a dissociation constant (KD) of 30 +/- 7 pM and a density (Bmax.) of 670 +/- 97 fmol/mg of protein. This high-affinity binding site is assumed to reside on voltage-operated calcium channels because reversible binding is blocked stereoselectively by 1,4-dihydropyridine channel blockers and by the enantiomers of Bay K 8644. A low-affinity (KD 25 +/- 7 nM) high-capacity (Bmax. 21.6 +/- 9 pmol/mg of protein) site does not bind (-)- or (+)-Bay K 8644, but is blocked by high concentrations (greater than 500 nM) of dihydro-2,6-dimethyl-4-(2-isothiocyanatophenyl)-3,5-pyridinedicarboxy lic acid dimethyl ester (1,4-DHP-isothiocyanate) or, e.g., (+/-)-nicardipine. (-)-[3H]Azidopine was photoincorporated covalently into bands of 165 +/- 8, 39 +/- 2 and 35 +/- 3 kDa, as determined by SDS/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. Labelling of the 165 kDa band is protected stereoselectively by 1,4-dihydropyridine enantiomers at low (nM) concentrations and by (-)- and (+)-Bay K 8644, whereas the lower-Mr bands are not. Thus, only the 165 kDa band is the calcium-channel-linked 1,4-dihydropyridine receptor. Photolabelling of the 39 or 35 kDa bands was only blocked by 10 microM-1,4-DHP-isothiocyanate or 50 microM-(+/-)-nicardipine but not by 10 microM-(-)-Bay K 8644. [3H]-1,4-DHP-isothiocyanate binds to guinea-pig heart membranes with a KD of 0.35 nM and dissociates with a k-1 of 0.2 min-1 at 30 degrees C. [3H]-1,4 DHP-isothiocyanate irreversibly labels bands of 39 and 35 kDa which are protected by greater than 10 microM-(+/-)-nicardipine or unlabelled ligand but not by 10 microM-(-)-Bay K 8644. Thus, [3H]-1,4-DHP-isothiocyanate is not an affinity probe for the calcium channel. 相似文献

The Cl(-) channels of brown adipocytes electrophysiologically resemble outwardly rectifying Cl(-) channels (ORCC). To study tentative Ca(2+) regulation of these channels, we attempted to control Ca(2+) levels at the cytoplasmic side of the inside-out membrane patches with Ca(2+)-chelating agents. However, we found that the commonly used Ca(2+)-chelators EGTA and BAPTA by themselves influenced the Cl(-) channel currents, unrelated to their calcium chelating effects. Consequently, in this report we delineate effects of Ca(2+)-chelators (acting from the cytoplasmic side) on the single Cl(-) channel currents in patch-clamp experiments. Using fixed (1-2 mM) concentrations of chelators, two types of Cl(-) channels were identified, as discriminated by their reaction to the Ca(2+)-chelators and by their conductance: true-blockage channels (31 pS) and quasi-blockage channels (52 pS). In true-blockage channels, EGTA and BAPTA inhibited channel activity in a classical flickery type manner. In quasi-blockage channels, chelators significantly shortened the duration of individual openings, as in a flickering block, but the overall channel activity tended to increase. This dual effect of mean open time decrease accompanied by a tendency of open probability to increase we termed a quasi-blockage. Despite the complications due to the chelators as such, we could detect a moderate inhibitory effect of Ca(2+). The anionic classical Cl(-) channel blockers DIDS and SITS could mimic the true/quasi blockage of EGTA and BAPTA. It was concluded that at least in this experimental system, standard techniques for Ca(2+) level control in themselves could fundamentally affect the behaviour of Cl(-) channels. 相似文献

Hydrogen sulfide (H(2)S) is a novel gasotransmitter that inhibits L-type calcium currents (I (Ca, L)). However, the underlying molecular mechanisms are unclear. In particular, the targeting site in the L-type calcium channel where H(2)S functions remains unknown. The study was designed to investigate if the sulfhydryl group could be the possible targeting site in the L-type calcium channel in rat cardiomyocytes. Cardiac function was measured in isolated perfused rat hearts. The L-type calcium currents were recorded by using a whole cell voltage clamp technique on the isolated cardiomyocytes. The L-type calcium channel containing free sulfhydryl groups in H9C2 cells were measured by using Western blot. The results showed that sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS, an H(2)S donor) produced a negative inotropic effect on cardiac function, which could be partly inhibited by the oxidant sulfhydryl modifier diamide (DM). H(2)S donor inhibited the peak amplitude of I( Ca, L) in a concentration-dependent manner. However, dithiothreitol (DTT), a reducing sulfhydryl modifier markedly reversed the H(2)S donor-induced inhibition of I (Ca, L) in cardiomyocytes. In contrast, in the presence of DM, H(2)S donor could not alter cardiac function and L type calcium currents. After the isolated rat heart or the cardiomyocytes were treated with DTT, NaHS could markedly alter cardiac function and L-type calcium currents in cardiomyocytes. Furthermore, NaHS could decrease the functional free sulfhydryl group in the L-type Ca(2+) channel, which could be reversed by thiol reductant, either DTT or reduced glutathione. Therefore, our results suggest that H(2)S might inhibit L-type calcium currents depending on the sulfhydryl group in rat cardiomyocytes. 相似文献

TRPM2 is a member of the melastatin-related TRP (transient receptor potential) subfamily. It is expressed in brain and lymphocytes and forms a cation channel that is activated by intracellular ADP-ribose and associated with cell death. In this study we investigated the calcium dependence of human TRPM2 expressed under a tetracycline-dependent promoter in HEK-293 cells. TRPM2 expression was associated with enhanced hydrogen peroxide-evoked intracellular calcium signals. In whole-cell patch clamp recordings, switching from barium- to calcium-containing extracellular solution markedly activated TRPM2 as long as ADP-ribose was in the patch pipette and exogenous intracellular calcium buffering was minimal. We suggest this effect reveals a critical dependence of TRPM2 channel activity on intracellular calcium. In the absence of extracellular calcium we observed concentration-dependent activation of TRPM2 channels by calcium delivered from the patch pipette (EC(50) 340 nM, slope 4.9); the maximum effect was at least as large as that evoked by extracellular calcium. Intracellular dialysis of cells with high concentrations of EGTA or 1,2-bis(o-Aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (BAPTA) strongly reduced the amplitude of the extracellular calcium response, and the residual response was abolished by a mixture of high and low affinity calcium buffers. TRPM2 channel currents in inside-out patches showed a strong requirement for Ca(2+) at the intracellular face of the membrane. We suggest that calcium entering via TRPM2 proteins acts at an intracellular calcium sensor closely associated with the channel, providing essential positive feedback for channel activation. 相似文献

Our drug discovery efforts for N-type calcium channel blockers in the 4-piperidinylaniline series led to the discovery of an orally active analgesic agent 26.1-[4-Dimethylamino-benzyl)-piperidin-4-yl]-[4-(3,3-dimethyl-but yl)-phenyl]-(3-methyl-but-2-enyl)amine (26) showed high affinity to functionally block N-type calcium channels (IC50=0.7 microM in the IMR32 assay) and exhibited high efficacy in the anti-writhing analgesia test with mice (ED50=12 mg/kg by po and 4 mg/kg by iv). In this report, the rationale for the design, synthesis, biological evaluation, and pharmacokinetics of this series of blockers is described. 相似文献

The activation of BK type Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channels depends on both voltage and Ca(2+). We studied three point mutations in the putative voltage sensor S4 or S4-S5 linker regions in the mslo1 BK channels to explore the relationship between voltage and Ca(2+) in activating the channel. These mutations reduced the steepness of the open probability - voltage (P(o) - V) relation and increased the shift of the P(o) - V relations on the voltage axis in response to increases in the calcium concentration. It is striking that these two effects were reciprocally related for all three mutations, despite different effects of the mutations on other aspects of the voltage dependence of channel gating. This reciprocal relationship suggests strongly that the free energy contributions to channel activation provided by voltage and by calcium binding are simply additive. We conclude that the Ca(2+) binding sites and the voltage sensors do not directly interact. Rather they both affect the mslo1 channel opening through an allosteric mechanism, by influencing the conformational change between the closed and open conformations. The mutations changed the channel's voltage dependence with little effect on its Ca(2+) affinitiy. 相似文献

Hydroperoxy-arachidonic acid mediated n-hexanal and (Z)-3- and (E)-2-nonenal formation in Laminaria angustata 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
In higher plants, C6 and C9 aldehydes are formed from C18 fatty acids, such as linoleic or linolenic acid, through formation of 13- and 9-hydroperoxides, followed by their stereospecific cleavage by fatty acid hydroperoxide lyases (HPL). Some marine algae can also form C6 and C9 aldehydes, but their precise biosynthetic pathway has not been elucidated fully. In this study, we show that Laminaria angustata, a brown alga, formed C6 and C9 aldehydes enzymatically. The alga forms C9 aldehydes exclusively from the C20 fatty acid, arachidonic acid, while C6 aldehydes are derived either from C18 or from C20 fatty acid. The intermediates in the biosynthetic pathway were trapped by using a glutathione/glutathione peroxidase system, and subjected to structural analyses. Formation of (S)-12-, and (S)-15-hydroperoxy arachidonic acids [12(S)HPETE and 15(S)HPETE] from arachidonic acid was confirmed by chiral HPLC analyses. These account respectively for C9 aldehyde and C6 aldehyde formation, respectively. The HPL that catalyzes formation of C9 aldehydes from 12(S)HPETE seems highly specific for hydroperoxides of C20 fatty acids. 相似文献

In a stereo-divergent synthesis, three novel camphor-derived bifunctional thiourea organocatalysts 7-9 have been prepared in five steps starting from (+)-camphor. In addition, borneol-derived bifunctional thiourea organocatalysts 19/19' have been prepared in three steps from (1S)-(+)-camphorquinone. Novel organocatalysts 7-9, 19/19' have been evaluated in a model reaction of Michael addition of dimethyl malonate to trans-β-nitrostyrene with low to moderate enantioselectivities (20%-60% ee). Configuration of all novel compounds has been meticulously determined using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques. 相似文献
