Effects of Deltorphin II and Its Retroenantio Analog on Cardiac Tolerance to Ischemia and Reperfusion
Selective agonist of δ 2 -opioid receptors deltorphin II and its retroenantio analog (0.12 mg/kg intravenously) were preventively injected to male Wistar rats 15 min prior to 45-min coronary occlusion or 5 min before 120-min reperfusion. Administration of deltorphin II before artery occlusion and be...

Summary: | Selective agonist of δ

-opioid receptors deltorphin II and its retroenantio analog (0.12 mg/kg intravenously) were preventively injected to male Wistar rats 15 min prior to 45-min coronary occlusion or 5 min before 120-min reperfusion. Administration of deltorphin II before artery occlusion and before reperfusion decreased the infarct size/area at risk ratio. Deltorphin II prevented the appearance of ischemia-provoked ventricular arrhythmias and exerted no effect on HR and BP (systolic and diastolic). The retroenantio analog of deltorphin II produced no antiarrhythmic or infarct

limiting effects, but reduced HR without affecting BP. Deltorphin II can be viewed as a promising prototype for a medicinal remedy to treat acute myocardial infarction. |
