1. Diadenosine hexaphosphate (AP6A) exerts vasoconstrictive effects. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether AP6A has any effect on cardiac function. 2. The effects of AP6A (0.1-100 microM) on cardiac contractility and frequency were studied in guinea-pig and human isolated cardiac preparations. Furthermore, the effects of AP6A on the amplitude of the L-type calcium current, on the adenosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate (cyclic AMP) content and on the phosphorylation of regulatory phosphoproteins, i.e. phospholamban and troponin inhibitor, were investigated in guinea-pig isolated ventricular myocytes. 3. In isolated spontaneously beating right atria of the guinea-pig AP6A exerted a negative chronotropic effect and reduced the rate of contraction maximally by 35% (IC20 = 35 microM). 4. In isolated electrically driven left atria of the guinea-pig AP6A exerted a negative inotropic effect and reduced force of contraction maximally by 23% (IC20 = 70 microM). 5. In isolated electrically driven papillary muscles of the guinea-pig AP6A alone was ineffective, but attenuated isoprenaline-stimulated force of contraction maximally by 23% (IC20 = 60 microM). Furthermore, AP6A attenuated the relaxant effect of isoprenaline. 6. In human isolated electrically driven ventricular preparations AP6A alone was ineffective, but attenuated isoprenaline-stimulated force of contraction by maximally 42% (IC20 = 18 microM). Moreover, AP6A attenuated the relaxant effect of isoprenaline. 7. All these effects of AP6A were abolished by the selective A1-adenosine receptor antagonist 1,3-dipropyl-cyclopentyl-xanthine (DPCPX, 0.3 microM), whereas the M-cholinoceptor antagonist atropine (10 microM) and the P2-purinoceptor antagonist suramin (300 microM) failed to abolish the effects of AP6A. 8. AP6A 100 microM had no effect on the amplitude of the L-type calcium current, but attenuated isoprenaline-stimulated L-type calcium current. The maximum of the current-voltage relationship (I-V curve) was shifted to the left by isoprenaline and additional application of AP6A shifted the I-V curve back to the right to the control value. The phosphorylation state of phospholamban and the troponin inhibitor was unchanged by AP6A alone, but was markedly attenuated by AP6A in the presence of isoprenaline. Cyclic AMP levels remained unchanged by AP6A, even after stimulation with isoprenaline. 9. In summary, AP6A exerts negative chronotropic and inotropic effects in guinea-pig and human cardiac preparations. These effects are mediated via A1-adenosine receptors as all effects were sensitive to the selective A1-adenosine receptor antagonist DPCPX. Furthermore, the effects of AP6A on cyclic AMP levels, protein phosphorylation and the L-type calcium current are in accordance with stimulation of A1-adenosine receptors.

D015220 Calcium Channels Voltage-dependent cell membrane glycoproteins selectively permeable to calcium ions. They are categorized as L-, T-, N-, P-, Q-, and R-types based on the activation and inactivation kinetics, ion specificity, and sensitivity to drugs and toxins.
