The 1,4-dihydropyridines OSI-1210, OSI-1211 (etaftoron), and OSI-3802 are compounds with similar chemical structure. They differ by the length of the alkoxyl chain in positions 3 and 5 of the dihydropyridine (DHP) ring and by their pharmacological action characteristics. However, as far as we know, a clear relationship between the effects of these compounds and the length of the alkoxyl chain in positions 3 and...
The interference of glibenclamide, an antidiabetic sulfonylurea, with mitochondrial bioenergetics was assessed on mitochondrial ion fluxes (H+, K+, and Cl-) by passive osmotic swelling of rat liver mitochondria in K-acetate, KNO3, and KCl media, by O2 consumption, and by mitochondrial transmembrane potential (Deltapsi). Glibenclamide did not permeabilize the inner mitochondrial membrane to H+, but induced perme...
The potential protective action of 1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives (cerebrocrast, gammapyrone, glutapyrone, and diethone) against oxidative stress was assessed on mitochondrial bioenergetics, inner membrane anion channel (IMAC), Ca2+-induced opening of the permeability transition pore (PTP), and oxidative damage induced by the oxidant pair adenosine diphosphate (ADP)/Fe2+ (lipid peroxidation) of mitochondria is...
