Abstract

The aim of our research is to study the effect relaxant action of diterpenoid alkaloids talatisamine, 14-O-benzoylthalatisamine and 14-O-acetylthalatisamine was studied using isolated rat aortic rings. Alkaloids significantly and dose-dependently inhibited contraction of the aortic rings caused by high KCl content. At the same time, under these conditions, alkaloids significantly reduced Ca2+-induced contraction of the aortic rings. The relaxing effects of alkaloids are significantly suppressed by verapamil, a potent potentiometer-dependent Ca2+ channel blocker. The alkaloids also significantly reduced norepinephrine-induced aortic ring contraction in normal as well as Ca2+ free Krebs solutions. The data obtained indicate that talatisamine, 14-benzoylthalatisamine and 14-O-acetylthalatisamine exhibit a pronounced relaxant effect in almost the same way in the case of contraction induced by a high content of KCl and norepinephrine. The mechanism of the relaxant action of alkaloids is probably complex and may include suppression of Ca2+influx through voltage-dependent and receptor-driven Ca2+ channels, as well as inhibition of Ca2+transport in the sarcoplasmic reticulum.

Introduction

Ca2+ ions play a leading role in ensuring the functional activity of blood vessel SMC. As in heart cells, the contractile activity of SMCs depends on [Ca2+]i, however, the mechanisms involved in its regulation in SMCs have their own characteristics. In this case, the dominant role is also played by potential-dependent Ca2+ -channels of the plasma membrane, the activation of which provides the flow of Ca2+ ions into the cytoplasm of the SMC, the amount of which is sufficient to initiate the contractile process [1]. In addition to voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels, the supply of Ca2+ from the extracellular environment to the SMC is also provided by a supply - detectable and receptor-gated Ca2+ channels, as well as a Na+ / Ca2+ exchanger [2]. In this case, a prerequisite for the activation of stock-operated channels is the depletion of Ca2+ ions in the SR. As the name suggests, the work of receptor-gated Ca2+ channels is controlled by receptors, which interact with specific hormones and mediators to control the work of these channels [3]. At the same time, mediators and hormones activate G proteins through specific receptors, which control the work of various ion channels and enzymes. In particular, in SMCs such activation of phospholipase C is accompanied by the production of inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate (IP3), which interacts with the receptor (IP3R) on the CP membrane, activates the release of Ca2+ and causes an increase in [Ca2+] i in their cytoplasm [4].

We have previously found that the alkaloid 14-O-benzoylthalatizamine (14-O-BT), a derivative of the diterpenoid alkaloid talatizamine isolated from the plant Aconitum talassicum, effectively relaxes the preparations of the aorta, previously contracted by KC1 [5]

Thus, the results of this series of experiments indicate that the modification of the structure of talatizamine by introducing benzoyl or acetyl groups at positions C (14) is accompanied by a significant increase in the relaxant activity of their derivatives (Fig.1) Such an increase in the relaxant activity of talatizamine derivatives is apparently due to an increase in their lipophilicity and, accordingly, membrane activity, which is characteristic of the introduction of aromatic groups (benzoyl and acetyl) into the structure of diterpenoid alkaloids ([6],).

In the course of further characterization of the mechanism underlying the relaxant action of talatizamine and its derivatives, their effects were studied under various experimental conditions.

Materials and Methods

All animal care and experimental procedures were approved by the Committee for Animal Experiments of Institute of Biophysics and Biochemistry at the National University of Uzbekistan. 

After brief anesthesia with sodium pentobarbital, rat was decapitated and the thoracic aorta was isolated. The connective tissue was removed and rings 3 mm long were mounted vertically under isometric conditions in a 5 ml organ bath perfused with Krebs solution containing (in mM): NaCl 118.3, KCl 4.7, CaCl2 2.5, MgSO4 1.2, NaH2PO4 1.2, NaHCO3 25.0, EGTA 1.0 and glucose 11.1 (pH 7.35). Krebs solution was maintained at 37 ± 0.5°C and continuously bubbled with O2/CO2 mixture (95%/5%). An initial load of 1 g was applied and maintained throughout a 60 min equilibration period. During equilibration the bathing solution was changed every 15 min with readjustment of baseline tension, when necessary. Tension was recorded on a pen recorder (Endim 621.02 Germany) via force-displacement transducers (FT03, Grass Instrument, Ma, USA). To assess the participation of the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger in the relaxant action of alkaloids, we studied their effect on the contraction of the rat aortic rings induced by Krebs solution with a low Na+ content. The low-Na+ Krebs solution was obtained by replacing 118 mM of NaCl with iso-osmolar amount of choline chloride. In these experiments after equilibration period in normal Krebs solution the viability of aortic rings was tested by KCl (50mM) or phenylephrine (1 µM). After this procedure, the aortic rings were repeatedly washed with normal Krebs solution, and when the baseline tension was re-established the aortic rings were exposed to low-Na+ Krebs solution containing 10 µM verapamil, and steady contraction was obtained.All reagents were of analytical grade and were obtained from Sigma Chemical Co (St Louis, Mo, USA). All values are expressed as mean ± standard error of mean (S.E.M.). Student’s t test was used for unpaired variants. P<0>

Results and its Discussion

In preliminary experiments, it was found that talatizamine, 14-O-benzoylthalatisamine and 14-O-acetylthalatisamine in a wide range of concentrations did not effect the basal tone of rat aortic preparations. However, in further experiments, we found that the studied alkaloids effectively relax the rat aorta preparations, previously contracted with 50 mM KCl, i.e., they have a relaxing effect. At the same time, the relaxing effect was more pronounced in 14-O-benzoylthalatisamine and 14-O-acetylthalatisamine began to manifest itself already at its concentration of 10 μM and 15 μM, while the relaxant effect of talatizamine was less pronounced and was manifested only at its concentration of 50 μM. The relaxant effect of alkaloids was dose-dependent, and with an increase in their concentration in the range of 10-250 μM, the contraction force of the rat aorta preparation induced by 50 mM KCl decreased from 28.12.2 to 933.4% (Fig.1). The IC50 value, the concentration at which 14-O-benzoylthalatisamine and 14-O-acetyltalatisamin relaxed the aorta preparation by 50%, was 79.5 μM and 98.9 μM, respectively. In contrast to 14-O-BT and 14-O-AT, the dependence of the relaxant effect of talatizamine on its concentration was less pronounced, and the maximum relaxation of the aorta preparation to 42.82.5% was observed at a concentration of 750 μM (Figure 1).

Figure 1. Concentration-dependent effects talatisamine, 14-benzoylthalatisamine and 14-O-acetylthalatisamine rat aortic rings. 

Concentration-response curves to alkaloids were determined in rat aortic rings pre-contracted with KCl (50 mM;). Data are expressed as a percentage of the contraction induced by KCl (50 mM). Values are mean ± SEM (n=6). *P < 0>

Considering that the KCl-induced contraction of the rat aorta is mainly provided by the activation of voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels of the plasmolemma of the SMC and Ca2+ ions coming through them, it can be assumed that the observed relaxant effect of talatizamine, 14-O-BT and 14-O-AT are possibly realized as a result of blocking these channels by them. At the same time, by blocking these channels and suppressing the entry of Ca2+ ions into the SMC, the studied alkaloids, apparently, cause a decrease in the intracellular level of Ca2+ ions, which leads to relaxation of the rat aorta preparations. To test this assumption, we studied the dependence of the relaxant action of the studied alkaloids on the concentration of Ca2+ ions in the incubation medium.

It is known that in solutions containing no Ca2+ ions, hyperpotassium solutions do not cause contractions of aortic preparations, and the cumulative addition of Ca2+ ions under these conditions is accompanied by the development of contractions that reach the control amplitude at 2.5 mM CaCl2 [7]. We found that during incubation of rat aorta preparations in calcium-free Krebs solutions in the presence of 14-O-BT and 50 mM KCl, the addition of Ca2+ ions also stimulated the development of contractile responses, which, however, were significantly less in amplitude than the responses, registered in the control in the absence of 14-О-BT (Fig. 2).

In particular, in the presence of 250 μM 14-O-BT and 14-O-AT, the addition of 2.5 mM CaCl2 to the calcium-free solution caused a contraction of the aorta preparation, which was 83.8±3.9% and 70.8±4.2%, less reduction recorded in the absence of alkaloids. Under similar experimental conditions, in the presence of talatizamine (250 μM), the addition of 2.5 mM CaCl2 caused a contraction, which was 48±4.1% less in amplitude compared to the contraction in the control without alkaloid (Fig. 2). The results of these experiments convincingly indicate that the relaxant effect of the studied alkaloids under conditions of KCl-induced contracture is associated with the suppression of the transport of Ca2+ ions from the extracellular medium into the cytoplasm of the SMC through the voltage-dependent Ca2+-channels of the plasma membrane.

Figure 2. Dependence of the relaxant action of the alkaloids talatizamine, 14-O-benzoylthalatizamine and 14-O-acetylthalatizamine on the concentration of Ca2+ ions in the incubation medium. 

The force of contraction of the rat aorta preparation induced by 50 mM KCl was taken as 100%. Values are mean ± SEM (n=6). *P < 0>

In order to clarify the participation of L-type Ca2+-channels in providing the relaxant action of talatizamine, 14-O-BT and 14-O-AT, the effect of the blocker of these channels verapamil (Ver) on their effects was studied. In these experiments, it was found that in the presence of 0.1 μM (Ver), a concentration corresponding to its IC50, the studied alkaloids retained the ability to suppress KCl-induced contractions of the aorta, but to a lesser extent than in its absence. At the same time, 14-O-BT (250 μM) and 14-O-AT (250 μM) additionally suppressed the strength of the aorta contractions induced by KCl, to 31.5±3.7% and 33.1±4.1% of the control, respectively (Fig. 3,). From these results, it follows that the relaxant action of 14-О-BT and 14-О-АТ alkaloids may be based on the blockade of L-type Ca2+-channels. However, the retention of the relaxant effect of the studied alkaloids in the presence of VP indicates that, along with the blockade of L-type Ca2+-channels, other mechanisms of Ca2+ ion transport into the SMC can be involved in its provision.

Figure 3. Influence of verapamil on the relaxant action of talatizamine, 14-O-BT and 14-AT. The force of contraction of the rat aorta preparation induced by 50 mM KCl was taken as 100%. Values are mean ± SEM (n=6). *P < 0>

In contrast to 14-O-BT and 14-O-AT, the addition of talatizamine (750 μM) under similar conditions did not lead to additional relaxation of the rat aorta preparation.

An important role in the regulation of Ca2+ homeostasis in SMC, along with voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels of the L-type, is also played by receptor-gated Ca2+ channels, which are activated upon stimulation of α-adrenergic receptors [8]. In this regard, to assess the effect of the studied alkaloids on receptor-gated Ca2+ channels, we studied their effects on the contractions of aortic preparations induced by the α-adrenergic receptor 

agonist phenylephrine (PE). PE induces contractions of the aorta, which, in the presence of verapamil, are mainly provided by Ca2+ ions entering the SMC through receptor-gated Ca2+ channels [9]. In our experiments, PE (1 μM) in the presence of verapamil (0.1 μM) induced aortic contractions, the force of which was 10.9±2.3% less than the force of contractions caused by it in the absence of verapamil. The addition of alkaloids 14-О-BT and 14-О-AT under these conditions led to a significant suppression of the strength of PE-induced contractions of the aorta, which decreased by 68.4±3.1% and 63.6±3.3% of the control. respectively (Figure 4, A).

The abscissa is the concentration of alkaloids. B. - the effect of phentolamine (10 μM) on the relaxant effect of 14-O-BT and 14-O-AT (* p <0 xss=removed>

The IC50 values obtained for 14-O-BT and 14-O-AT were 80.6 μM and 128 μM, respectively. These results indicate that the observed effect of the studied alkaloids may be due to the blockade of receptor-gated Ca2+-channels. This is confirmed by experiments with a blocker of α-adrenergic receptors - phentolamine, in the presence of which the effects of alkaloids 14-О-BT and 14-О-АТ on PE-induced aortic contractions decreased by 44.7±4.0% and 48.7±4.3%, respectively, from the control obtained in the absence of phentolamine (Fig. 4,B). These results indicate that the blockade of receptor-gated Ca2+-channels may also be involved in providing the relaxant effect of the studied alkaloids. At the same time, an important role in the regulation of the contractile activity of smooth muscles by the α-adrenergic receptor is also played by the Na+/Ca2+ exchange of the plasma membrane of the SMC [10].

It was found that the alkaloids 14-O-BT and 14-O-AT significantly suppress the force of aortic contraction induced by a Na+-free solution in the presence of which it decreased to 28.3±3.6% and 30.1±4.1% of control, respectively (Fig.5. A,B). The IC50 values obtained from the results of these experiments were for 14-O-BT and 14-O-AT, 82.3 μM and 107.8 μM, respectively.

These data indicate that the alkaloids 14-О-BT and 14-О-АТ effectively suppress the contractions of the aorta induced by the Na+ free solution, which are provided by Ca2+ ions entering the SMC through the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger.

B- Influence of KB-R7943 (10 μM) on the relaxant effect of 14-O-BT and 14-O-AT (* p <0 xss=removed>

This is confirmed in experiments with KB-R7943 blocker of the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger, in the presence of which the effects of 14-O-BT and 14-O-AT alkaloids on aortic contractions induced by Na+-free solution decreased to 46.3±4.2% and 49.4±4.5% of the control obtained in the absence of KB-R7943, respectively (Fig. 5, C).

Conclusion

Analysis of the results of these experiments showed that the alkaloids 14-O-BT and 14-O-AT equally effectively suppress the contractions of the aorta induced by the no-Na+ solution, as evidenced by their close IC50 values. The close IC50 values obtained using two different methods of activation of aortic contractions, which are mainly provided by Ca2+ ions coming through the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger, are convincing evidence of the involvement of this mechanism in providing the relaxant action of 14-O-BT and 14-O-AT. The data obtained in this series of experiments allow us to conclude that, in providing the relaxant effect of alkaloids 14-О-BT and 14-О-АТ, along with the blockade of voltage-dependent Ca2+-channels of the L-type and receptor-gated Ca2+-channels, an important the blockade of the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger of the SMC may also play a role.
