The effects of diethylcarbamazine citrate (DECC) have been examined in isolated, electrically driven left atria of guinea-pigs. This anthelmintic drug (DECC, 10(-9) -10(-4) M) produced a sustained, concentration-dependent depression of atrial contractile tension that was reversible by replacing the incubation fluid with DECC-free physiological solution. The negative inotropic response induced by DECC was antagonized in a competitive manner by increasing the calcium ion (Ca2+) concentration of the bathing fluid. On the contrary, the myocardial depressant effects of DECC were antagonized in a non-competitive manner by noradrenaline (NA). The present findings suggest a direct negative inotropic effect of DECC and indicate that this anthelmintic drug interferes with the empirical function of Ca2+ in the events leading to mechanical activity of the isolated atrial myocardium.
已在豚鼠离体电驱动左心房中研究了枸橼酸乙胺嗪(DECC)的作用。这种驱虫药(DECC,10⁻⁹ - 10⁻⁴ M)可使心房收缩张力持续降低,且呈浓度依赖性,通过用不含DECC的生理溶液替换孵育液可使其逆转。通过增加灌流液中钙离子(Ca²⁺)浓度,DECC诱导的负性肌力反应以竞争性方式被拮抗。相反,去甲肾上腺素(NA)以非竞争性方式拮抗DECC的心肌抑制作用。目前的研究结果表明DECC具有直接的负性肌力作用,并表明这种驱虫药在导致离体心房心肌机械活动的过程中干扰了Ca²⁺的正常功能。
