EFFECTS OF ANTIARRHYTHMIC AGENTS CLASSIFIED AS CLASS III GROUP ON ISCHEMIAINDUCED MYOCARDIAL DAMAGE IN CANINE HEARTS. Hanakl, T. Ogawa. K. Take*. S. Suglyama**. T. Ozawa**. Y. Departments of internal Med~clne, Surgical Operation Center+ and Blomedlcal Chemistry'**, Faculty of Medicine, Un1versit.y of Nagoya, Nagoya 466, Japan. To clarify the cardloprotectlve effects of antiarrhythmlc agents classified as class III on lschemlc hearts, 2 hour occluzlon of coronary artery was performed after either physiological saline (iv). amlodarone 1~1, (3 w/kg sotalol (1 mg/kg 1~). or E-4031 (2.5 ug/kg/min cll) admin,stratlon. Electrocardiogram was monitored throughout the experiment. Heart mitochondrla were prepared from both the lschemlc and nonlschemlc areas, and their function was estimated polarographically. Activltles of the lysosomal enzymes, N-acetyl-Bglucosaminidase Two hour and a-glucuronidase, were measured in each fraction. occlusion induced ventricular arrhythmias, and all drugs greatly suppressed the of arrhythmias. development All drugs significantly protected mltochondria against lschemia, and prevented lschemia-induced leakage of lysosomal enzymes. These results Indicate that antlarrhythmic agents classified as class III show cardloprotective effects, which might participate in their ant,arrhythm?c effect.

THE EFFECT OF LP-805 ON THE ISCHEMIC MYOCARDIAL ACIDOSIS IN DOGS. K. T. Morimoto', T. Shiba#, M. Tsujitani*, Y. Abiko. Ichihara, Department of Pharmacology, Asahikawa Medical College, Asahikaswa, *POLA Pharmaceutical R & D Laboratory, Yokohama, #Biological Research Laboratorles, Lederle (Japan), Shikl, Japan. We examined whether LP-805, a newly developed coronary attenuates the myocardial acidosis induced by Ischemla. vasodiiator, Ischemia was induced by occluding the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) in anesthetized open-chest dogs. LAD flow was artificially reduced to about l/3 of the original flow. Hyocardial pH micro pH electrode inserted into the left was measured by a glass ventricle perfused by the occluded artery. Myocardial pH was decreased from about 7.5 to about 6.9 after the onset of ischemia and was kept at the low level until the occluded artery was released. After 30 min of ischemia, either the vehicle or 10, 30, or 100 ug/kg of ~~-805 was injected iv. LP-805 attenuated the decrease in myocardlal ph' induced by ischemia in a dose dependent manner. In conclusion, LP-805 may reduce the lschemic influence on the myocardium. s.22
