Popis: The cardiovascular effects of SD-3211, a novel benzothiazine Ca++ channel blocker, were compared with those of diltiazem and nicardipine in Langendorff-perfused rabbit hearts. SD-3211 was more potent in increasing coronary artery flow than in depressing cardiac function (i.e., contractile force, heart rate and conduction time). The relative specificity of SD-3211 for coronary vasodilation to cardiodepression was clearly greater than that of diltiazem, but less than that of nicardipine. Thus, the present study demonstrates that SD-3211, despite a non-dihydropyridine type of Ca++ channel blocker, can be characterized as a potent coronary vasodilator with a little effect on cardiac function.
