The aim of the study was to evaluate the cardioprotective and antiarrhythmic effects of intravenous Na+/H+ blockers (cariporide and SM-20550) in a rat model of ischemia and a long period reperfusion (14 days). This model allowed study of the role of Na+/H+ exchanger against late myocardial infarct expansion and left ventricular dysfunction. Each compound was administered 5 min before ischemia. Cariporide (from 0.16 mg/kg) and SM-20550 (from 0.04 mg/kg) significantly and dose-dependently reduced the number of ventricular premature beats during ischemia. The duration of ventricular tachycardia was importantly shortened in the presence of cariporide (0.63 mg/kg) and SM-20550 (0.16 mg/kg). Furthermore, cariporide (0.63 mg/kg) and SM-20550 (from 0.04 mg/kg) significantly reduced the infarct expansion: 43 +/- 2% in the cariporide group and 42 +/- 2% at 0.16 mg/kg SM-20550 versus 48 +/- 1% in the vehicle group. Cariporide and SM-20550 significantly prevented the left ventricular free wall thinning associated with the thickness ratio, suggesting a significant reduction of the ventricular dilation. Cariporide and SM-20550 significantly improved the negative dP/dtmax, suggesting a partial restoration of the cardiac relaxation. Collectively, Na+/H+ blockers administered before ischemia reduced arrhythmias and also prevented the remodeling process of the heart during postinfarction.

The Na(+)/H(+) exchanger (NHE) is involved in intracellular pH homeostasis of many mammalian cell types. To date seven NHE isoforms (NHE1-NHE7) have been identified. NHE1 is the most predominant isoform expressed in heart where it contributes to cardiomyocyte pH homeostasis. Although the NHE activation is essential for the restoration of physiological pH, hyperactivation of NHE1 during ischemia-reperfusion episodes disrupts the intracellular ion balance, leading to cardiac dysfunction and damage. Beside its ability to inhibit a conductive Na(+) channel and the Na(+)/Ca(++) exchanger, amiloride was the first drug described as NHE inhibitor. Double substitution of the nitrogen of the 5-amino group of amiloride gave DMA, EIPA, MIBA and HMA. Later, several acylguanidines were prepared to selectively inhibit NHE1. The replacement of the pyrazine ring of amiloride by a pyridine ring or by a phenyl increased the potency and the NHE selectivity. The simultaneous replacement of the pyrazine ring by a phenyl, of the 6-chloro by a sulfomethyl led to drugs such as HOE-694, cariporide, eniporide and BIIB-513 which also selectively inhibited NHE1. In the last decade several bicyclic guanidines were prepared: zoniporide, MS-31038, SM-20220, SM-20550, SMP-300, KB-R9032, BMS-284640, T-162559, TY-12533, S-3226 or SL-591227. Extensive pre-clinical studies indicated that NHE inhibitors afford substantial protection in different animal models of myocardial ischemia (MI) and reperfusion, but the results of clinical trials involving eniporide and cariporide were mixed.

The Na(+)/H(+) exchanger (NHE) is activated during ischemia-reperfusion in an effort to restore intracellular pH to normal levels. The NHE is recognized to exist as a distinct protein in the plasma membranes of a variety of cells. We investigated the pharmacological effects of a Na(+)/H(+) exchanger inhibitor, SM-20220 (N-(aminoiminomethyl)-1-methyl-1-H-indole-2-carboxamide methanesulfonate), on ischemic brain damage, edema and neutrophil accumulation at 72 h after middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion in a rat MCA occlusion model. SM-20220 was intravenously administered as a bolus injection immediately after occlusion, followed by a continuous infusion over 2.5 h. At 72 h after occlusion, the infract area was measured using hematoxylin-eosin staining and, using the same slices, neutrophils in the brain were immuno-stained with anti-myeloperoxidase (n=11). In a separate study, rat behavior was scored and scaled, and brains removed for the determination of water content by the dry-weight method. SM-20220 significantly (P<0.05) attenuated cerebral infarct volume, water content, and the neutrophil accumulation at 72 h after the MCA occlusion, and ameliorated neurological deficits. SM-20220, an NHE inhibitor prevented the progress of cerebral ischemic damage and edema following MCA occlusion in rats though a possible mechanism that may be due to the inhibition of neutrophil accumulation. The NHE in neutrophils may enhance the progress of cerebral damage following cerebral ischemia-reperfusion.
