Abstract

5-Amino-4-imidazole carboxamide (AICA) riboside increases adenosine release in ischemic myocardium, suggesting that AICA riboside improves contractile dysfunction. In 49 open-chest dogs, contractile function assessed by fractional shortening (FS) was observed 3 h after the onset of reperfusion following 15 min of occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery. During reperfusion, the treatment with AICA riboside increased adenosine concentration in the coronary venous blood (536±44 vs 281±21 pmol/ml at 3 min of reperfusion, p<0.001) and peak coronary hyperemic flow (36 ±13 vs 300±21 ml/100 g per min, p<0.001) when compared with the untreated group. FS at 3 h of reperfusion increased in the AICA riboside group (21.1±2.3 vs 12.8±0.6% in the untreated group, p<0.001). AICA riboside increased myocardial ecto-5'-nucleotidase activity. Administration of adenosine also augmented coronary hyperemic flow and increased FS to the levels of the AICA riboside group. Either 8-phenyltheophylline (an antagonist of adenosine receptors) or α, β-methylene-adenosine 5'-diphosphate (an inhibitor of ecto-5'-nucleotidase) completely abolished the increased coronary hyperemic flow and improvements of myocardial contractile function due to AICA riboside. Thus it was concluded that AICA riboside improves the contractile dysfunction that follows a brief period of ischemia via adenosine-dependent mechanisms.
