| Popis: | Nitroglycerin, isosorbide dinitrate and sodium nitroprusside, like nifedipine, were found to inhibit the receptor-provoked increase of cytosolic free calcium concentration in human platelets loaded with 2-[(2-amino-5-methylphenoxy)methyl]-6-methoxy-8-aminoquinoline- N,N,N′,N′ -tetraacetate. Sodium nitroprus-side and nitroglycerin induced elevation of cyclic guanosine 3′,5′-monophosphate content in platelets which correlated with their calcium-blocking activity. Methylene blue and epinephrine decreased the calcium-blocking effect and the influence of nitroglycerin on cyclic guanosine 3′-5′-monophosphate content, but failed to suppress the inhibitory effect of sodium nitroprusside. Ascorbic acid increased the calcium blocking effect of sodium nitroprusside and its influence on cyclic guanosine 3′,5′-monophosphate content, but did not alter the inhibitory effect of nitroglycerin. In order to evaluate the relationship between the mode of action of nitrates at cellular level and their vasodilatory effectiveness, we studied the circulatory response of the forearm to isosorbide dinitrate and the influence of nitroglycerin on free calcium concentration in the platelets in 10 patients with chronic heart failure. We established a significant positive correlation between the basal values for venous tone and its peak decrease after administration of the 10-mg dose of isosorbide dinitrate. A correlation was also found between the deviation of maximal decrease of venous tone by this dose of isosorbide dinitrate from the regression line (the relationship between the basal venous tone and its lowering by the drug) and mean inhibitory concentration values for nitroglycerin in blocking that proportion of the rise of calcium ion concentration in platelets due to blocking of the platelet-activating factor. Thus, nitrates, like calcium antagonists, inhibit the receptor-provoked calcium supply to the contractile system of the cells so neutralizing the effects of increased concentrations of vasoconstrictors. This suggests that the effectiveness of nitrates appears to be positively related to the contribution of receptor-induced increase of cytosolic free calcium concentration in vasoconstriction together with their capacity to raise cyclic guanosine 3′,5′-monophosphate. |
