Previously we established the hypotensive action of nitric oxide donors, dinitrosyl-iron complexes (DNIC) with thiol-containing ligands, stored in frozen solution at 77 K. In the present study, we tested recently designed water soluble dry powder preparations of DNICs keeping their characteristics in dry air for a long time. The complexes dissolved in PBS were injected intravenously into normotensive Wistar and spontaneously hypertensive SHR rats. The average arterial pressure (AAP) was recorded through preliminary implanted catheter in a carotid artery. The initial hypotensive action of DNIC with cysteine (DNIC-cys) was Comparable to action of nitroprusside (SNP) but, in contrast to the latter, lasted for 20-120 min depending on a doze. The blood DNIC content as detected by electronic paramagnetic resonance steadily decreased at this time. The hypotensive action of S-nitrosocysteine was similar to SNP while binding of iron in DNIC by batophenantroline-disulphonate prevented its hypotensive effect. These data suggest that long-lasting hypotensive action of DNICs may be caused by stable protein-bound DNICs forming in the process of transfer of Fe+(NO+)(2) moieties from low-molecular DNICs to thiol protein ligands. The relative initial dose-dependent effect of DNIC-cys was similar in. Wistar and SHR but secondary AAP reduction was more profound in SHR. A substitution of cysteine in DNIC by thiosulphate resulted in markedly less initial AAP reduction while long-lasting effect was similar and substitution by glutathione smoothed initial AAP decline and stabilized AAP level in the second phase. Prolonged AAP reduction induced by DNIC-cys was considerably shortened in narcotized rats. Thus, dry preparations of DNICs preserve prolonged hypotensive activity. (c) 2007 Elsevier Inc.
