Endothelin-1 and norepinephrine are involved in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of endogenously generated endothelin-1 in ischemia/reperfusion-induced norepinephrine overflow and cardiac dysfunction using a nonselective prototype of endothelin-converting enzyme (ECE) inhibitor, phosphoramidon, and a selective ECE inhibitor, SM-19712 (4-chloro-N-[[(4-cyano-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)amino]carbonyl]benzenesulfonamide, monosodium salt). According to the Langendorff technique, isolated Sprague–Dawley rat hearts were subjected to 40-min global ischemia followed by 30-min reperfusion. Phosphoramidon and SM-19712 were perfused 30 min before ischemia and during reperfusion. Endothelin-1 level in left ventricle was increased by ischemia/reperfusion. This increase in left ventricular endothelin-1 level was suppressed by treatment with SM-19712. SM-19712 significantly improved ischemia/reperfusion-induced cardiac dysfunction such as decreased left ventricular developed pressure and dP/dtmax and increased left ventricular end diastolic pressure. In addition, this agent suppressed excessive norepinephrine overflow in the coronary effluent from the post-ischemic heart. In contrast, treatment with phosphoramidon further enhanced left ventricular endothelin-1 level and norepinephrine overflow, and significantly worsened cardiac dysfunction after ischemia/reperfusion. These responses such as exaggerated norepinephrine overflow and the cardiac dysfunction observed after ischemia/reperfusion were markedly suppressed in the presence of a selective endothelin ETA receptor antagonist, ABT-627 [2R-(4-methoxyphenyl)-4S-(1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)-1-(N,N-di(n-butyl)aminocarbonyl-methyl)-pyrrolidine-3R-carboxylic acid]. These findings indicate that cardiac endothelin-1 production is enhanced by ischemia/reperfusion, and this endogenously increased endothelin-1 is involved in post-ischemic norepinephrine overflow and cardiac dysfunction via the activation of endothelin ETA receptors.
