摘要
ACE inhibitors exert both acute and chromic beneficial effects on cardiac function (e.g remodelling, diastolic dysfunction). We have previously reported that the ACE inhibitor captopril induces selective left ventricular (LV) relaxant effects in the isolated ejecting guinea pig heart. The aim of the present study was to further investigate the mechanism of the captopril-induced changes in early LV relaxation by comparing the effects of two sulphydryl and two non-sulphydryl containing ACE inhibitors in the same experimental preparation. Isolated ejecting guinea pig hearts were studied under conditions of constant loading and heart rate. LV pressure was monitored by a 2F micromanometer-tipped catheter transducer inserted in the LV cavity. The sulphydryl-containing ACE inhibitors captopril and zofenaprilat enhanced early LV relaxation, whereas the non-sulphydryl-containing ACE inhibitors lisinopril and quinaprilat did not. The effects of captopril and zofenaprilat were attenuated both by the nitric oxide-scavenger haemoglobin and the bradykinin B-2-kinin receptor antagonist HOE 140. Neither the oxygen free-radical scavenger superoxide dismutase nor the sulphydryl-containing compound N-acetyl cysteine administered together with lisinopril had any effect on LV relaxation, These data demonstrate that inhibition of intra-cardiac ACE activity may acutely modulate LV relaxation through increased activity of the bradykinin-nitric oxide pathway. The presence of a sulphydryl group on the relevant ACE inhibitor appears to be essential for this LV relaxant effect.
