Abstract

1. The present experiments were undertaken in order to characterize further the apparently irreversible inhibition of the contraction of depolarized rat aorta caused by lacidipine, a 1,4-dihydropyridine calcium antagonist. 2. We studied the effect of lacidipine on contraction evoked by 100 mM KCl solution in rat aorta, treated by N omega-nitro-L-arginine (0.1 mM), an inhibitor of nitric oxide (NO) synthesis. We compared the effect of prolonged depolarization on lacidipine and (+)-isradipine inhibition and the reversal of this inhibition after washout in the absence of dihydropyridines. Assuming that the onset of lacidipine-evoked inhibition was a pseudo-first order association kinetics, we estimated the dissociation rate constant (k-1 = 0.031 min-1), the association rate constant (k1 = 2.70 x 10(8) M-1 min-1) and the dissociation constant (KD = k-1/k1 = 115 pM) which was close to the IC50 value in steady-state conditions (160 pM). 3. The inhibitory effects of lacidipine and (+)-isradipine on rat aorta contraction were reversibly enhanced after preincubation with the drug in a 40 mM KCl-solution. Washout with drug-free 40 mM K(+)-depolarizing solution reversed inhibition in the (+)-isradipine-treated preparations, but not in the lacidipine-treated ones. 4. Radioligand binding studies were performed with [3H]-lacidipine and [3H]-isradipine in microsomes from rat aorta and rat ileum.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
