Abstract

1. The effects of SK&F 24260 administered intravenously or intraduodenally on the coronary outflow, coronary arteriovenous oxygen difference (A-V O2), myocardial oxygen consumption (MVO2), systemic blood pressure, heart rate and atrioventricular (AV) conduction time were examined in open-chest dogs. 2. SK&F 24260 in doses of 0.3-10 microgram/kg, i.v., caused a dose-dependent increase in coronary sinus outflow, but the increase was smaller with 30 microgram/kg, i.v., than with 10 microgram/kg, i.v. 3. SK&F 24260 (0.3-30 microgram/kg, i.v.) decreased A-V O2 and MVO2 in a dose-dependent manner. 4. SK&F 24260 (0.3-30 microgram/kg, i.v.) decreased systemic blood pressure and heart rate, and increased AV conduction time. 5. Intraduodenal administration of SK&F 24260 (1 mg/kg) produced almost the same effects on coronary sinus outflow, A-V O2, MVO2, systemic blood pressure, heart rate and AV conduction time as did the intravenous administration of the compound (10 microgram/kg). 6. The property of SK&F 24260 to increase the coronary blood flow and to moderately decrease MVO2, systemic blood pressure and heart rate indicates that this agent is a potential antianginal drug.
