1,1-dimethylethyl -4-hydroxyphenyl -3- 3- N-methyl-N- 2 Ž ethyl amino propyl -1,3-thiazolidin-4-one hydrogen fumarate Ž CP-060S , a synthesized cardioprotective agent, were examined. In the rat aortic rings, the contractile responses to cumulative application of angiotensin II, Arg -vasopressin Ž were inhibited by CP-060S in a concentration-dependent manner. The Ca2q-induced contractions in the presence of vasopressin orprostaglandin F were also inhibited by CP-060S in a concentration-dependent manner. The inhibitory effect of 10y5 M CP-060S on phenylephrine-induced contraction was as potent as that of 10y6 M nifedipine, and the combined addition of 10y6 M nifedipine and10y5 M CP-060S showed the effect similar to that of 10y5 M CP-060S alone. In rat aorta loaded with a Ca2q indicator, fura-PE3, 10y5 M CP-060S completely inhibited the high K -induced increase in cytosolic Ca CP-060S only partially inhibited the increase in Ca and contraction due to phenylephrine or prostaglandin F M CP-060S did not inhibit the increase in Ca and contraction induced by prostaglandin F medium, the phasic increases in contraction and Ca induced by phenylephrine were not affected by 10 suggest that the vasoinhibitory effect of CP-060S in rat aortic rings is due mainly to the inhibition of L-type voltage-dependentCa2q-channels. q 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.

The thoracic aorta was isolated as described above and To know the precise mechanism of vasodilator effects cut into helical strips Ž2–3 mm wide and 8–10 mm of CP-060S, in the present experiments, we examined the effect of this compound on muscle tension and cytosolic Ca2q indicator, fura-PE3, simultaneously with muscle ten- 1988 .
