Carvedilol action is dependent on endogenous production of nitric oxide.

Abstract：

BACKGROUND:Carvedilol is known to be an adrenoreceptor blocker and free radical scavenger, used in hypertension and cardiac failure. However, its therapeutic actions cannot be fully explained by these mechanisms. In these studies, we tested the hypothesis that carvedilol action is associated with the synthesis/release of nitric oxide (NO). METHODS:Male Wistar rats (n = 22), 9 weeks old, were anesthetized with an intraperitoneal injection of sodium pentobarbital. Mean arterial pressure and arterial NO levels were monitored throughout the experiments. Carvedilol (1 mg/kg, intravenously [iv]) effects were evaluated before and after NO synthase (NOS) inhibitor N(omega)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME, 5 mg/kg, iv). RESULTS:Carvedilol induced a significant decrease in basal arterial pressure (from 126.6 +/- 4.3 mm Hg to 75.9 +/- 3.0 mm Hg, P < .001) and significant increase in NO levels (from 17.9 +/- 1.7 micromol/L to 32.2 +/- 2.5 micromol/L, P < .001). After administration of L-NAME the arterial pressure increased (129.9 +/- 5.0 mm Hg, P < .001) with concomitant decrease in NO levels (13.4 +/- 1.6 micromol/L, P < .01). The second carvedilol administration (post-L-NAME) did not affect either arterial pressure (108.3 +/- 8.0 mm Hg) or NO levels (22.1 +/- 1.3 micromol/L). CONCLUSIONS:Our results suggest that the carvedilol-induced decrease of blood pressure is associated with an increase of plasma NO levels. Furthermore, NOS inhibition results in impairment of carvedilol hemodynamic effects and plasma NO levels. Therefore, these results are consistent with the hypothesis that the hemodynamic effect of carvedilol is in part dependent on endogenous NO production.
