Earlier it has been found that the hypotensive drug Oxacom containing binuclear dinitrosyl iron complexes (B-DNIC) with glutathione can effectively decrease, as a nitric monooxide (NO) donor, the mean arterial pressure (MAP) in rats upon intravenous bolus injection in the form of an aqueous solution (Chazov et al., 2012). The aim of this study was to investigate the hypotensive effects of Oxacom administered to experimental rats by intravenous, intramuscular, subcutaneous, intraperitoneal, intragastric, rectal routes.MAP and heart rate (HR) were measured with the help of arterial catheters equipped with tensometric sensors. Oxacom was administered to rats at the dose of 2.0 mu mole of B-DNIC/kg. The concentration of paramagnetic mononuclear protein-bound DNIC (M-DNIC) formed in the blood and tissues of various internal organs of the rat was determined by the EPR method. Upon subcutaneous, intramuscular or intraperitoneal administration of Oxacom, the maximum amplitude of the MAP decrease varies from 30% to 70%, respectively, in comparison with the corresponding parameter for the intravenously injected Oxacom. Another difference is the lack of the fast phase in the initial stage of the MAP decrease and the longer persistence of protein-bound M-DNIC formed in the circulating blood after intramuscular, subcutaneous or intraperitoneal administration of Oxacom. Thus, the NO donor Oxacom exerts pronounced hypotensive effects on rats not only upon intravenous, but also upon intramuscular, subcutaneous or intraperitoneal administration. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V.
