A cardioselective, hydrophilic N,N,N-trimethylethanaminium .alpha.-tocopherol analog that reduces myocardial infarct size
摘要:
The alpha-tocopherol analogue 3,4-dihydro-6-hydroxy-N,N,N,2,5,7,8-heptamethyl-2H-1-benzopyran-2-ethanaminium 4-methylbenzenesulfonate (1a, MDL 73404) and its O-acetate 1b (MDL 74270) were synthesized. Compound 1a was found to be hydrophilic (log P = -0.60) and to prevent lipid autoxidation in rat brain homogenate with an IC50 of 1.7 +/- 0.9-mu-M. Tissue distribution studies with [C-14]-1b in rats (1 mg/kg iv) showed that radioactivity accumulates in the heart (ratio 20:1 vs blood after 1 h). Infusion of 1 mg/kg per h of 1b bromide reduced infarct size by 54% in rats subjected to coronary artery occlusion for 60 min followed by reperfusion for 30 min, compared to saline-infused controls. By comparison, the tertiary amine analogue 5 was found not to accumulate in heart tissue, to be an equally effective free-radical scavenger in vitro, but to require a higher dose to reduce infarct size in rats. This shows that the cardioselectivity of compound 1 contributes to its potency in salvaging myocardial tissue in rats after ischemia and reperfusion.
