Sympathetic activation causes clinically important arrhythmias including atrial fibrillation (AF) and ventricular tachyarrhythmia. Although the usefulness of β-adrenergic receptor blockade therapy is widely accepted, its multiple critical side effects often prevent its initiation or continuation. The aim of this study is to determine the advantages of vidarabine, an adenylyl cyclase (AC)-targeted anti-sympathetic agent, as an alternative treatment for arrhythmia. We found that vidarabine, which we identified as a cardiac AC inhibitor, consistently shortens AF duration and reduces the incidence of sympathetic activation-induced ventricular arrhythmias. In atrial and ventricular myocytes, vidarabine inhibits adrenergic receptor stimulation-induced RyR2 phosphorylation, sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+leakage, and spontaneous Ca2+release from SR, the last of which has been considered as a potential arrhythmogenic trigger. Moreover, vidarabine also inhibits sympathetic activation-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in cardiac myocytes. The pivotal role of vidarabine’s inhibitory effect on ROS production with regard to its anti-arrhythmic property has also been implied in animal studies. In addition, as expected, vidarabine exerts an inhibitory effect on AC function, which is more potent in the heart than elsewhere. Indexes of cardiac function including ejection fraction and heart rate were not affected by a dosage of vidarabine sufficient to exert an anti-arrhythmic effect. These findings suggest that vidarabine inhibits catecholamine-induced AF or ventricular arrhythmia without deteriorating cardiac function in mice.
