Abstract:
:The effects of a 1,5-benzothiazepine derivative, (+)-cis-3-(acetyloxy)-5-[2-[[2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)ethyl]-methyla mino]ethyl]-2,3-dihydro-2-(4-methyoxyphenyl)-1,5-benzothiazepine-4 (5H)-one (DTZ323), on membrane currents were investigated in guinea-pig ventricular myocytes using the whole-cell patch-clamp technique. DTZ323 suppressed the L-type Ca2+ channel currents (I[Ca(L)]) more selectively than the T-type Ca2+ channel and the Na+ channel currents. DTZ323 inhibited I[Ca(L)] in a use- and a voltage-dependent manner with 24 times higher potency than that of diltiazem. Rate of recovery of I[Ca(L)] from the conditioned block by DTZ323 was faster compared with diltiazem and verapamil, and was steeply dependent on the holding potential at resting membrane potential range in ventricular myocytes (-90 to -60 mV). Our results suggest that DTZ323 is a selective Ca2+ channel antagonist, the most potent among the 1,5-benzothiazepine Ca2+ channel antagonists, and that the voltage- and use-dependent effect of DTZ323 on I[Ca(L)] is due to the steep voltage dependence of the rate of dissociation from the cardiac L-type Ca2+ channels.

杂志文章abstract::The targets which mediate the actions of the volatile general anaesthetic isoflurane are unknown. Based on pharmacological studies using GABA(A) receptor antagonists it has recently been suggested that GABA(A) receptors would not mediate the immobilizing action of isoflurane.
