Abstrakt: | Objectives: This study aimed to identify the effect of trimetazidine (TMZ), an antianginal drug, on detrusor smooth muscle (DSM) contractility and its possible mechanisms of action. Methods: We performed in-vitro contractility studies on isolated mouse DSM strips and investigated the effect of TMZ on Ca2+ levels in fura-2-loaded A7r5 cells. Key Findings: TMZ (300 or 1000 µM) inhibited carbachol (CCh)- and KCl-induced contractions and produced a concentration-dependent (10-1000 µM) relaxation in KCl-precontracted DSM strips. TMZ-induced relaxation was markedly decreased by BaCl2, an inward-rectifying K+ channel blocker, but was not altered by preincubation with tetraethylammonium, glibenclamide, 4-aminopyridine, propranolol, L-NAME or methylene blue. TMZ (300 or 1000 µM) reduced both the CaCl2-induced contraction of depolarized DSM strips under Ca2+-free conditions and the CCh-induced contraction of DSM strips preincubated with nifedipine in Ca2+-containing Krebs solution. Furthermore, TMZ (1000 µM) significantly decreased the Ca2+ levels in fura-2-loaded A7r5 cells. Conclusions: TMZ decreased DSM contractility and caused a concentration-dependent relaxation of the tissue possibly through its actions on Ca2+ transients and K+ channels. Our results provide preclinical evidence that TMZ would be a potential candidate to treat disorders related to the overactivity of the bladder. (© The Author(s) 2021.
