Aims: Hypobaric hypoxia (HH), linked to oxidative stress, impairs cardiac function. We synthesized a novel nitronyl nitroxide radical, an HPN derivative (HEPN) and investigated the protective effects of HEPN and HPN against HH-induced heart injury in mice and the underlying mechanisms of action.Main methods: Mice were administered with HPN (200 mg/kg) or HEPN (200 mg/kg) 30 min before exposed to HH. The cardiac function was measured. Serum AST, CK, LDH and cTnI were estimated. Heart tissue oxidase activity, SOD, CAT, GSH-Px, ROS and MDA were estimated. ATP content, Na+/K+-ATPase and Ca2+/Mg2+-ATPase activity was measured. The expression of HIF-1, VEGF, Nrf2, HO-1, Bax, Bcl-2, Caspase-3 was estimated.Key findings: Results showed that pretreatment with HEPN or HPN led to a dramatic decrease in the activity of biochemical markers AST, CK, LDH and cTnI in murine serum. They increased the activity of SOD, CAT and GSH-Px and reduced the level of ROS and MDA in the hearts of mice. HEPN and HPN could increase the expression of Nrf2 and OH-1. They could maintain the ATPase activity. The Bax and Caspase-3 expression as well as the ratio of Bax/Bcl-2 were significantly downregulated and the Bcl-2 expression was upregulated by HPN or HEPN compared to the HH group. They may attenuate the HH-induced oxidant stress via free radical scavenging activity.Significance: The present study showed that the nitronyl nitroxide radical HEPN and HPN may be potential therapeutic agents for treatment of HH-induced cardiac dysfunction.
