Several drugs have been prepared to treat of heart failure using some protocols which require dangerous reagents and specific conditions. The aim of this study was to synthesize a series of steroid derivatives (compounds 2 to 18) using some chemical strategies. The biological activity of steroid derivatives against heart failure was evaluated using an ischemia/reperfusion model. In addition, the effect exerted by compounds 4 or 5 on left ventricular pressure was evaluated in the absence or presence of yohimbine, butaxamine and methoctramine. The results showed that 1) both compounds 4 or 5 significantly decrease the heart failure (translated as infarct area) compared with the compounds 2, 3 and 6-18. In addition, the compound 4 and 5 decreased the left ventricular pressure in a dose-dependent manner and this effect was significantly inhibited in the presence of methoctramine (p = 005). In conclusion, the compounds 4 or 5 decrease both the infarct area and left ventricular pressure via M-muscarinic receptor activation.
已经有几种药物被制备出来用于治疗心力衰竭,这些药物使用了一些需要危险试剂和特定条件的方案。本研究的目的是使用一些化学策略合成一系列甾体衍生物(化合物 2 至 18)。使用缺血/再灌注模型评估了甾体衍生物对心力衰竭的生物活性。此外,在不存在或存在育亨宾、丁氧胺和甲硫环胺的情况下,评估了化合物 4 或 5 对左心室压力的影响。结果表明:1)与化合物 2、3 和 6-18 相比,化合物 4 或 5 均能显著降低心力衰竭(梗死面积)。此外,化合物 4 和 5 以剂量依赖性方式降低左心室压力,而这种作用在存在甲硫环胺时被显著抑制(p=0.05)。总之,化合物 4 或 5 通过 M-毒蕈碱受体的激活来降低梗死面积和左心室压力。
