Abstract

1. The effect of the selective adenosine A1-receptor antagonist, 8-cyclopentyl-1,3-dipropylxanthine (CPX), on the development of cisplatin-induced acute renal failure was investigated in the rat. 2. CPX at doses of 0.03, 0.1 and 0.3 mg kg-1, i.v. caused increasing degrees of antagonism of adenosine-induced bradycardia in anaesthetized rats. The magnitude of antagonism was not directly proportional to the increment in dose, but for each dose, it was similar in rats injected with either saline or cisplatin. CPX at a dose of 0.03 mg kg-1 significantly antagonized adenosine-induced bradycardia for up to 2.5 h, while doses of 0.1 and 0.3 mg kg-1 produced significant blockade for periods longer than 5 h. 3. Administration of cisplatin (6 mg kg-1, i.v.) caused acute renal failure characterized by decreased inulin and p-aminohippurate clearances, increased urine volume but decreased excretion of Na+, K+ and Cl- ions and by increased plasma levels of urea and creatinine. Kidney weight was increased in cisplatin-treated rats and renal tubule necrosis occurred. 4. Administration of CPX (0.03 mg kg-1, i.v.; twice daily for two days) to rats given cisplatin did not reduce the severity of the resultant renal failure. However, treatment with 0.1 mg kg-1 CPX attenuated the increases in plasma creatinine/urea levels observed in rats on days 3 and 7 after induction of renal failure. In addition, this dose significantly reduced renal tubule damage and increased inulin and p-aminohippurate clearances. A similar pattern of protection was noted with CPX at a dose of 0.3 mg kg-1 although the increase in inulin clearance was not statistically significant.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
