It has been established that oximes cause endothelium-independent relaxation in blood vessels. In the present study, the cardiovascular effects of the new oxime 3-hydroxy-4-(hydroxyimino)-2-(3-methylbut-2-enylnaphtalen-1(4H)-one (Oxime S1) derived from lapachol were evaluated. In normotensive rats, administration of Oxime S1 (10, 15, 20 and 30 mg/Kg, i.v.) produced dose-dependent reduction in blood pressure. In isolated aorta and superior mesenteric artery rings, Oxime S1 induced endothelium-independent and concentration-dependent relaxations (10(-8) M to 10(-4) M). In addition, Oxime S1-induced vasorelaxations were attenuated by hydroxocobalamin or methylene blue in aorta and by PTIO or ODQ in mesenteric artery rings, suggesting a role for the nitric oxide (NO) pathway. Additionally, Oxime S1 (30 and 100 M) significantly increased NO concentrations (13.9 +/- 1.6 nM and 17.9 +/- 4.1 nM, respectively) measured by nitric oxide microsensors. Furthermore, pre-contraction with KCl (80 mM) prevented Oxime S1-derived vasorelaxation in endothelium-denuded aortic rings. Of note, combined treatment with potassium channel inhibitors also reduced Oxime S1-mediated vasorelaxation suggesting a role for potassium channels, more precisely K-ir, K-v and K-ATP channels. We observed the involvement of BKCa channels in Oxime S1-induced relaxation in mesenteric artery rings. In conclusion, these data suggest that the Oxime S1 induces hypotension and vasorelaxation via NO pathway by activating soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) and K+ channels.
