Pharmacologically, vasoactive agents targeting endothelial and/or smooth muscle cells (SMC) are known to cause acute drug-induced vascular injury (DIVI) and the resulting pathology is due to endothelial cell (EC) perturbation, activation, and/or injury. Alteration in EC structure and/or function may be a critical event in vascular injury and, therefore, evaluation of the circulatory kinetic profile and secretory pattern of EC-specific proteins such as VWF and VWFpp could serve as acute vascular injury biomarkers. In rat and dog models of DIVI, this profile was determined using pharmacologically diverse agents associated with functional stimulation/perturbation (DDAVP), pathological activation (lipopolysaccharide [LPS]/endotoxin), and structural damage (fenoldopam [FD], dopamine [DA], and potassium channel opener (PCO) ZD6169). In rats, FD caused moderate DIVI and time-related increase in plasma VWF levels ∼33% while in control rats VWF increased ∼5%. In dogs, VWF levels transiently increased ∼30% when there was morphologic evidence of DIVI by DA or ZD6169. However, in dogs, VWFpp increased >60-fold (LPS) and >6-fold (DDAVP), respectively. This was in comparison to smaller dynamic 1.38-fold (LPS) and 0.54-fold (DDAVP) increases seen in plasma VWF. Furthermore, DA was associated with a dose-dependent increase in plasma VWFpp. In summary, VWF and VWFpp can discriminate between physiological and pathological perturbation, activation, and injury to ECs.

We evaluated immunohistochemistry (von Willebrand Factor [vWF] or fibrinogen) and systemic and coronary arterial physiological parameters in beagle dogs to investigate early arterial lesions induced by the potassium channel opener, ZD6169, or the endothelin receptor antagonist, ZD1611. Dogs given an oral dose of ZD6169 (experiment 1) were terminated 1 day later and showed arterial and myocardial lesions. Minimal arterial lesions exhibited few condensed medial smooth muscle cells only, with others showing segmental medial necrosis occasionally with medial/adventitial acute inflammation. Intercellular immunostaining was seen in ostensibly normal tissue, where no pathology was present in conventionally stained sections. vWF and fibrinogen are valuable tools for detecting disruption of arterial integrity. In experiment 2, 2 dogs were given a single high dose of ZD6169 or ZD1611 and BP/HR monitored by conventional measures or telemetry. Substantially reduced systolic/diastolic BP and increased HR occurred within 10 min of ZD6169 infusion: ZD1611 caused minor BP decrease and HR increase. In experiment 3, both drugs given to anaesthetized dogs induced markedly exaggerated systolic phasic forward and reverse flow in left descending and right coronary arteries. Diastolic coronary artery flows were unaffected with ZD1611 and increased slightly with ZD6169. In both coronary arteries, the ZD1611-induced increase in flows paralleled decreased resistance.

The therapeutic utility of KATP channel opening agents (KCOs) in the treatment of overactive bladder may be limited by hypotension as a result of insufficient selectivity in vivo for bladder versus vasculature smooth muscle. Recently, we demonstrated that the putative uroselective KCOs, A-278637, ZD-6169, and WAY-133537 suppress unstable bladder contraction in an in vivo pre-clinical pig model of detrusor instability secondary to partial outlet obstruction. In the present study in the anesthetized dog we targeted plasma concentrations 3-, 10-, and 30-fold above a common index of in vivo efficacy (EC35) for suppression of unstable bladder contraction in pigs, to provide a comprehensive cardiovascular profile of these compounds. When compared at similar multiples of efficacy, dose-dependent reductions in SVR were greater in ZD-6169 and WAY-133537-treated animals versus A-278637. A-278637, unlike ZD-6169 or WAY-133537, produced no effect on MAP at concentrations 10-fold above the EC35. At concentrations 30-fold above the EC35, MAP in A-278637-treated animals was reduced -11% from baseline versus -24% and -42% for ZD-6169 and WAY-133537. Accordingly, at plasma concentrations approximately 30-fold above the EC35 reflex-mediated increases in HR were modest for A-278637-treated animals (15% above baseline) versus ZD-6169 (22%) or WAY-133537 (35%). Increases in both dP/dt and cardiac output occurred at lower therapeutic multiples and were greater in magnitude for animals treated with WAY-133537 (66% and 64% above baseline, respectively, 60 minutes into compound infusion) and ZD-6169 (10% and 13%) versus A-278637 (-2% and 6%). Thus, A-278637 exerted lesser effects on cardiovascular function at equivalent multiples of the EC35 than either ZD-6169 or WAY-133537. These data suggest that A-278637 possesses a greater functional selectivity for urinary bladder versus vascular smooth muscle in vivo and that A-278637 may exhibit a more favorable therapeutic index than either ZD-6169 or WAY-133537.
