Abstract:
:Diazepam (10(-5)-3 X 10(-4) M) selectively enhanced the negative inotropic responses of guinea-pig atria and the relaxation of guinea-pig taenia coli caused by adenosine and ATP. In the atria, the effect of 2-chloroadenosine, a stable analog of adenosine, was not affected by diazepam. Segments of guinea-pig atria or taenia coli took up 3H-activity during incubation with [3H]adenosine but did not take up 32P-activity from [32P]ATP. Diazepam at concentrations sufficient to enhance the in vitro responses reduced by half the uptake of 3H-activity into the preparations. Adenosine (10(-6) M) and ATP (10(-6) M) were degraded to inactive inosine during incubation with atrial segments and their degradation was inhibited by diazepam. In contrast, in rat atria, diazepam did not enhance the negative inotropic effects of adenosine and ATP, and did not prevent the uptake of adenosine. These results suggest that in guinea-pig atria and taenia coli, diazepam like dipyridamole, acts as an adenosine potentiator by preventing the uptake and degradation of adenosine.
