  • Title: Tolerance to the increase in coronary blood flow induced by KRN2391.
    Author: Kaneta S, Jinno Y, Harada K, Fukushima H, Ogawa N.
    Journal: Arch Int Pharmacodyn Ther; 1992; 318():21-35. PubMed ID: 1463369.
    Abstract:
    We examined whether KRN2391, isosorbide dinitrate and nitroglycerin induced tolerance in coronary arteries. Intracoronary arterial administration of KRN2391 (1 microgram), isosorbide dinitrate (30 micrograms) or nitroglycerin (3 micrograms) produced equipotent coronary vasodilatation. Development of tolerance was determined by whether the increase in coronary blood flow, caused by intracoronary arterial administration of these drugs, was attenuated by intravenous infusion of KRN2391, isosorbide dinitrate or nitroglycerin. The increase in coronary blood flow, caused by intracoronary arterial administration of KRN2391 was not affected by intravenous infusion of KRN2391 (0.3 or 1 micrograms/kg/min), isosorbide dinitrate (30 or 100 micrograms/kg/min) or nitroglycerin (1 or 3 micrograms/kg/min). The increase in coronary blood flow, caused by intracoronary arterial administration of isosorbide dinitrate or nitroglycerin, was significantly diminished by intravenous infusion of isosorbide dinitrate and nitroglycerin, but was unaffected by intravenous infusion of KRN2391. The present results suggest that KRN2391 does not induce acute tolerance by itself or cross-tolerance between KRN2391 and other nitrates.
