We investigated the effects of administration of non-hypotensive doses of ATP-sensitive K+ channel (K-ATP) openers (nicorandil and aptikalim), and a specific mitochondrial K-ATP channel blocker (5-hydroxydecanoate) prior to and during coronary occlusion as well as prior to and during post-ischemic reperfusion on survival rate, ischemia/reperfusion-induced arrhythmias and myocardial infarct size in anesthetized albino rabbits. Arrhythmias were induced by reperfusion following a 20 min ligation of the left main coronary artery with a releascable silk ligature. Early intervention by intravenous infusion of nicorandil (100 mug/kg bolus + 10 mug/kg/min) or aprikalim (10 mug/kg bolus + 0.1 mug/kg/min) just before and during ischemia increased survival rate (86% and 75% vs. 55% in the control group), significantly decreased the incidence and severity of life-threatening arrhythmias and myocardial infaret size. The antiarrhythmic and cardioprotective effects of both nicorandil and aprikalim were abolished by pretreating the rabbits with 5-hydroxydecanoate (5 mg/kg, i.v. bolus). In conclusion, intervention by intravenous administration of nicorandil and aprikalim (through the selective activation of mitochondrial K-ATP channels) increased survival rate and exhibited antiarrhythmic and cardioprotective effects during coronary occlusion and reperfusion in anesthetized rabbits when administered prior to and during coronary occlusion.
