Abstract

Objective:

The main objective of this study was to evaluate the biological activity of an ASA (Amino-Steroid-Anthracenone derivative) against heart failure caused by the ischemia- reperfusion injury (translated as infarct area).

Methods:

Biological activity exerted by ASA (0.001-100 nM) on infarct area was determined using an ischemia-reperfusion injury model. In addition, to characterize the molecular mechanism involved in the effect exerted by ASA on left ventricular pressure, some drugs such as estrone (0.001-100 nM), tamoxifen (1 nM), butoxamine (1 nM) and ZM-241385 (1 nM) were used.

Results:

The experimental data showed that ASA decreased the infarction area significantly (p = 0.05) compared to estrone. Other results indicated that ASA decreased left ventricular pressure and this effect was inhibited by ZM-241385. In addition, ASA increased cAMP levels in a time-dependent manner compared to control conditions.

Conclusion:

The results showed that ASA decreases ischemia-reperfusion injury (translated as infarct area) via A2 adenosine receptor activation and these phenomena involve changes in cAMP levels.
