Background: Vasoconstriction is a major pathological feature of cardiovascular diseases
involving endothelium dependent and independent mechanisms. Oxadiazole moiety appeared to be effective
in various pathologies.
Objective: The aim of the study was to synthesize and evaluate the mechanism of vasorelaxation exhibited
by synthesized oxadiazole derivatives.
Method: The 2,5-disubstituted-1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives were synthesized by an efficient and simple method. The derivatives
were investigated for their ex-vivo vasorelaxant action on intact/denuded endothelium rat aortic rings precontracted
with norepinephrine/ phenylephrine/KCl.
Results: The contractions induced in the aortic rings by the addition of cumulative concentrations of norepinephrine,
phenylephrine, KCl and calcium were significantly antagonized by a derivative, OXD-Z2. In another experiment, verapamil
pretreatment inhibited phenylephrine and Ca2+-induced aortic contractions and OXD-Z2 did not alter verapamilinduced
inhibition. This indicated the role of L-type Ca2+-channels in the OXD-Z2-induced vasorelaxation via inhibition
of calcium influx. Further, atropine (muscarinic receptor antagonist), L-NAME (NO synthase inhibitor) and methylene
blue (non-selective cGMP inhibitor) inhibited OXD-Z2-induced relaxation in other sets of experiments. These results indicate
that OXD-Z2 also mediates vasorelaxation through NO release by muscarinic receptor activation. In addition, the
molecular docking studies showed that OXD-Z2 interacts with L-type Ca2+-channel, muscarinic (M2) receptor and eNOS.
Conclusion: Thus, it is deduced from the above findings that the vasorelaxant activity of OXD-Z2 involves muscarinic
receptor-mediated nitric oxide release in addition to direct inhibition of L-type Ca2+-channels.
背景:血管收缩是心血管疾病的一个主要病理特征,涉及内皮依赖和独立机制。草酰二唑似乎对各种病症有效。 目的:本研究旨在合成和评估草酰二唑的血管舒张机制:本研究的目的是合成并评估合成的噁二唑衍生物的血管舒张机制。 方法:2,5-二取代的噁二唑衍生物:采用高效简单的方法合成了 2,5-二取代-1,3,4-噁二唑衍生物。研究了这些衍生物对去甲肾上腺素/苯肾上腺素/氯化钾预收缩的完整/脱落内皮大鼠主动脉环的体内外血管舒张作用。 结果:在主动脉环上加入累积浓度的去甲肾上腺素、苯肾上腺素、氯化钾和钙后,OXD-Z2 衍生物可显著拮抗其引起的收缩。在另一项实验中,维拉帕米预处理抑制了去甲肾上腺素和 Ca2+诱导的主动脉收缩,而 OXD-Z2 并未改变维拉帕米诱导的抑制作用。这表明 L 型 Ca2+ 通道在 OXD-Z2 通过抑制钙离子流入诱导的血管舒张中发挥作用。此外,在其他实验中,阿托品(毒蕈碱受体拮抗剂)、L-NAME(NO 合酶抑制剂)和亚甲蓝(非选择性 cGMP 抑制剂)也抑制了 OXD-Z2- 诱导的松弛作用。这些结果表明,OXD-Z2 还能通过激活毒蕈碱受体释放 NO 来介导血管舒张。此外,分子对接研究表明,OXD-Z2 与 L 型 Ca2+ 通道、毒蕈碱(M2)受体和 eNOS 相互作用。 结论:因此,根据上述研究结果推断,OXD-Z2 的血管舒张活性除了直接抑制 L 型 Ca2+ 通道外,还涉及毒蕈碱受体介导的一氧化氮释放。
