alpha1A-ARs play adaptive and protective roles in the heart. Dabuzalgron is an oral selective alpha1A-AR agonist that was well tolerated in multiple clinical trials of treatment for urinary incontinence, but has never been used to treat heart disease in humans or animal models. In this study, we administered dabuzalgron to mice treated with DOX, a widely used chemotherapeutic agent with dose-limiting cardiotoxicity that can lead to HF. Dabuzalgron protected against DOX-induced cardiotoxicity, likely by preserving mitochondrial function. These results suggest that activating cardiac alpha1A-ARs with dabuzalgron, a well-tolerated oral agent, might represent a novel approach to treating HF.
