Abstract | 1. The calcium channel blockers (CCBs), nifedipine, nicardipine, diltiazem and verapamil, were used to displace the binding of [3H]-U69593 ((5a, 7a,8b)-(+)-N-methyl-N-(7-[1-pyrrolidinyl]-1-oxaspiro[4,5] dec-8-yl)-benzeneacetamide), a specific kappa-opioid agonist, in the rat cardiac sarcolemma. The CCBs competed with the binding of [3H]-U69593 (4 nM) in a dose-dependent manner. The displacing potency of verapamil was 55 times greater than that of nifedipine. 2. The effects of two CCBs, verapamil and nifedipine, on the arrhythmogenic action of kappa-receptor stimulation by a specific kappa-receptor agonist, U50,488H (trans-(+/-(-3),4-dichloro-N-methyl-N-(2-[1-pyrrolidinyl] cyclohexyl) benzeacetamide methanesulphonate), were also studied in the rat isolated perfused heart. U50,488H 80-800 nmol dose-dependently induced arrhythmias, which were completely abolished by a selective kappa-receptor antagonist, nor-BNI (nor-binaltorphimine, 17,17'-(dicyclopropylmethyl)-6,6',7,7'-6,6'-imino-7,7'-binorphinan -3,4',14, 14'-tetrol), at 100 nmol. The arrhythmogenic effect was also attenuated by both verapamil and nifedipine in a dose-dependent manner. The ED50 values for verapamil and nifedipine were 2.75 and 63.7 nmol, respectively. The antiarrhythmic potencies of these two CCBs were correlated to their displacing potencies and inversely related to their well known potencies in inhibiting transmembrane Ca2+ influx in the cardiac muscle. 3. Measurement of [Ca2+]i in the absence of free extracellular Ca2+ by a spectrofluorometric method, with fura-2 as Ca2+ indicator, showed that U50,488H 5 x 10(-5) M slowly increased [Ca2+]i in single ventricular myocytes and this effect was abolished by pretreatment with nor-BNI (5 microM), or ryanodine (5 microM). Verapamil 1 and 10 microM abolished the effect of U50,488H in 37.5% (3 out of 8) and 100% (12 out of 12) of the cells studied, respectively. On the other hand, nifedipine 10 and 100 microM had no effect at all. Neither verapamil nor nifedipine exerted any significant effect on the caffeine-induced Ca2+ transient. 4. The observations suggest that CCBs may inhibit the actions of kappa-receptor stimulation at the level of the kappa-receptor. |
