Antiarrhythmic effects of alpha-adrenoceptor antagonists were assessed in the reserpinized guinea pig ventricular myocardium. Both bunazosin (1 to 3 x 10(-7) M), a new alpha 1-adrenoceptor antagonist, and yohimbine (1 to 3 x 10(-7) M), another adrenoceptor antagonist, suppressed the transient depolarization and triggered activity induced by a train of rapid stimuli in the solution containing low potassium ion (K+), high calcium ion (Ca2+) and strophanthidin (1 to 5 x 10(-7) M). Bunazosin (3 x 10(-6) M) abolished the facilitatory effect of hypoxia on beta-adrenoceptor mediated abnormal automaticity. To clarify the mechanisms underlying the antiarrhythmic properties of alpha-adrenoceptor antagonists, their electrophysiologic effects on the fast and slow action potentials were investigated. Alpha-adrenoceptor antagonists (bunazosin, yohimbine and phentolamine) suppressed the slow response in a dose-related manner. The voltage-dependent block and use-dependent block of the maximal rate of rise (Vmax) of action potentials by bunazosin (10(-5) to 10(-4) M) and yohimbine (10(-6) to 10(-5) M) were studied. The analysis of the onset and recovery kinetics from the use-dependent block of drugs showed that both bunazosin and yohimbine act as slow kinetic drugs. It is concluded that alpha-adrenoceptor antagonists seem to have an antiarrhythmic effect through the inhibition of fast sodium ion (Na+) and slow Ca2+ currents of the cell membrane independently of blockade of myocardial alpha-adrenoceptors.
在利血平化豚鼠心室肌中评估了α-肾上腺素能受体拮抗剂的抗心律失常作用。新型α1-肾上腺素能受体拮抗剂布那唑嗪(1至3×10⁻⁷M)和另一种肾上腺素能受体拮抗剂育亨宾(1至3×10⁻⁷M),均能抑制含低钾离子(K⁺)、高钙离子(Ca²⁺)和毒毛花苷(1至5×10⁻⁷M)溶液中一串快速刺激所诱发的瞬时去极化和触发活动。布那唑嗪(3×10⁻⁶M)消除了缺氧对β-肾上腺素能受体介导的异常自律性的促进作用。为阐明α-肾上腺素能受体拮抗剂抗心律失常特性的潜在机制,研究了它们对快、慢动作电位的电生理效应。α-肾上腺素能受体拮抗剂(布那唑嗪、育亨宾和酚妥拉明)以剂量相关方式抑制慢反应。研究了布那唑嗪(10⁻⁵至10⁻⁴M)和育亨宾(10⁻⁶至10⁻⁵M)对动作电位最大上升速率(Vmax)的电压依赖性阻滞和使用依赖性阻滞。对药物使用依赖性阻滞的起始和恢复动力学分析表明,布那唑嗪和育亨宾均为慢动力学药物。结论是,α-肾上腺素能受体拮抗剂似乎通过抑制细胞膜的快钠离子(Na⁺)和慢钙离子(Ca²⁺)电流而具有抗心律失常作用,这与心肌α-肾上腺素能受体的阻断无关。
