Abstract:
:The effect of a novel antianginal agent, molsidomine (N-ethoxycarbonyl-3-morpholinosydnonimine) (SIN-10) and its metabolites, 3-morpholinosydnonimine (SIN-1) and N-nitroso-N-morpholinoaminoacetonitrile (SIN-1A) on isolated dog blood vessels were investigated. SIN-1 and SIN-1A elicited a concentration-dependent relaxation of prostaglandin F2 alpha, contracted strips, while SIN-10 was without effect even in a concentration of 10(-4) M. The mean effective concentration (EC50) values of SIN-1A were much lower than SIN-1 and other vasodilators including nitroglycerin. The time course of relaxation was more rapid and transient in response to SIN-1A than to SIN-1. Adrenergic and cholinergic blocking agents did not affect the relaxing responses to SIN-1 and SIN-1A. SIN-1A also attenuated the norepinephrine-, KCl-, Ca2+-, or electrical transmural stimulation-induced contractile response, but SIN-1A increased the [3H]norepinephrine release from the adrenergic nerve terminals in response to transmural stimulation. Methemoglobin, which reportedly binds nitric oxide, or methylene blue, an inhibitor of guanylate cyclase, attenuated the relaxing response to SIN-1A. These results indicate that the vasodilating action of molsidomine results from the direct action on the vascular smooth muscle and suggest that the action is caused by its metabolites, probably SIN-1A, which contains a nitric oxide-moiety in the molecule. The possible mechanism of vasorelaxing action of SIN-1A is discussed in comparison with that of nitroglycerin.
