    Notes: Abstract The proarrhythmic effects of the ATP-sensitive potassium channel modulators cromakalim (n = 10; 0.01 to 0.3 mg/kg i.v.), glibenclamide (n = 10; 0.3 to 10 mg/kg i.v.) or volume equivalents of vehicle (n = 10) were evaluated in post-infarcted anaesthetised dogs. Dogs were anaesthetised, subjected to an anterior-apical myocardial infarction, and allowed to recover. At 7.4 ± 0.7 days post infarction, animals were anaesthetised again, electrophysiologic measurements (effective refractory periods, QT-intervals and ventricular fibrillation thresholds) were taken, and animals were tested for arrhythmias using a programmed electrical stimulation protocol. Only animals that did not have programmed electrical stimulation-inducible arrhythmias were used. Ventricular fibrillation thresholds were determined twice, once before the first dose then after the last dose of drug. At the end of the experiment, animals were subjected to ligation of the left circumflex coronary artery and survival was measured over the next two hours. Cromakalim significantly increased heart rate and decreased blood pressure. Although cromakalim significantly reduced effective refractory periods, it neither increased electrical dispersion, as determined by the standard deviation or coefficient of variance of the effective refractory period, nor did it enhance inducibility (0 out of 10 in both vehicle and cromakalim treated animals), change ventricular fibrillation thresholds, or reduce sudden death survival relative to vehicle. Glibenclamide did not increase electrical dispersion, but slightly increased the incidence of programmed electrical stimulation-induced arrhythmias (3 out of 10), and lowered ventricular fibrillation thresholds values. However, these changes were not statistically significant. Glibenclamide did not significantly affect survival relative to vehicle. Infarct sizes of the left ventricle were not statistically different among groups. In conclusion, cromakalim and glibenclamide did not affect dispersion of refractoriness. Glibenclamide did demonstrate a propensity towards proarrhythmic activity. However, the doses needed to observe proarrhythmic activity with glibenclamide were significantly higher than those needed for clinical treatment of hyperglycemia.

    Notes: Abstract Hypoxic ventilatory response (HVR) was examined before and after acclimatization to high altitude. Transient hyperoxic switches according to Dejours's technique were used to examine the contribution of HVR to the hyperpnoea of increasing exercise intensities. Ten mountaineers were exposed to hypoxia (oxygen fraction in inspired gas,F 1O2 = 0.11, 79 mmHg) before the expedition and after return from altitude (56 days, 30 days at 4900 m or higher). After 25-min breathing hypoxic gas, the subjects performed a maximal cycle ergometer test (increments 50 W per 5 min). Respired gases and ventilation $$(\dot V_E )$$ were analysed breath-by-breath, partial pressure of oxygen (PO2) and oxygen saturation (SO2) were measured in capillary blood. The HVR was tested by switching two breaths to anF 1O2 of 1.0. The nadir of $$\dot V_E $$ after the switch was measured (decrease in ventilation, D $$\dot V_E $$ ). The HVR was expressed as the D $$\dot V_E $$ at a PO2 of 40 mmHg (D $$\dot V_{E40} $$ ) and the D $$\dot V_E $$ versus decrease ofSO2 (D $$\dot V_E $$ /[100 −SO2]). The HVR estimated by D $$\dot V_{E40} $$ increased from 19.9 to 28.01 · min−1 (median,P = 0.013). The HVR expressed as D $$\dot V_E $$ /(100 −SO2) at rest was no different before and after acclimatization (0.89 and 0.86 l · min−1 · %−1, respectively) and during exercise it did not change before the expedition (0.831 · min−1 %−1). However, D $$\dot V_E $$ /(100 −SO2) increased significantly with exercise intensity after the expedition (1.61 l · min−1 · %−1 at 200 W). The changes of D $$\dot V_E $$ versusSO2 as well as of D $$\dot V_E $$ versus $$\dot V_E $$ were steeper after the expedition than before. In summary, after return from 30 day at high altitude, an increased HVR was observed. The augmentation of HVR was evident at higher exercise intensities and we suggest that this reflects a change in sensitivity of the peripheral chemoreflex loop.

    Notes: Abstract Studies were made of pulmonary diffusion capacity and oxygen transport before and after an expedition to altitudes at and above 4900 m. Maximum power (P max) and maximal oxygen uptake (VO 2max) were measured in 11 mountaineers in an incremental cycle ergometer test (25W · min−1) before and after return from basecamp (30 days at 4900 m or higher). In a second test, cardiac output (Q c) and lung diffusion capacity of carbon monoxide (D L,CO) were measured by acetylene and CO rebreathing at rest and during exercise at low, medium and submaximal intensities. After acclimatization, VO2max and P max decreased by 5.1% [from 61.0 (SD 6.2) to 57.9 (SD 10.2) ml·kg−1, n.s.] and 9.9% [from 5.13 (SD 0.66) to 4.62 (SD 0.42) W·kg−1, n.s.], respectively. The maximal cardiac index and DL,co decreased significantly by 15.6% [14.1 (SD 1.41) 1·min−1 · m−2 to 11.9 (SD 1.44)1·min−1 m−2, P〈0.05] and 14.3% [85.9 (SD 4.36)ml·mmHg−1 min−t to 73.6 (SD 15.2) ml · mmHg−1 -min−1, P〈0.05], respectively. The expedition to high altitude led to a decrease in maximal Q c, oxygen uptake and DL,CO. A decrease in muscle mass and capillarity may have been responsible for the decrease in maximal Qc which may have resulted in a decrease of D L,CO and an increase in alveolar-arterial oxygen difference. The decrease in D L,CO especially at lower exercise intensities after the expedition may have been due to a ventilation-perfusion mismatch and changes in blood capacitance. At higher exercise intensities diffusion limitation due to reduced pulmonary capillary contact time may also have occurred.

    Notes: The kinetics of the Cu2+ complexation by macrocycles 1 (4-[(l,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradec-1-yl)methyl]-benzoic acid) and 2 (N-propyl-4-[(1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradec-1-yl)methyl]-benzamide) as well as by macrocycle 1 conjugated to bovine serum albumin (bsa) and to ribonuclease A (rnase) were studied by stopped flow techniques. For 1 and 2, the kinetics were followed in the mM range monitoring the d-d* absorption band of the Cu2+ complex. From the pH dependence of kobs, the rate law is v = [Cu2+] (kLH[LH] + kLH2[LH2]), where kLH and kLK2 are the bimolecular rate constants for Cu2+ with the diprotonated (LH2) and monoprotonated (LH1) form of the ligand, respectively. The values are kLH2 = 1.7(1) M-1s-1 and kLH = 2.3(1) 105 M-1s-1 for 1, and kLH2, = 0.28(9) M-1s-1 and kLH = 2.0(1) 105 M-1s-1 for 2. The kinetics of the Cu2+ incorporation into 1,2 and 1 conjugated to bsa and rnase, i.e., 3 and 4, respectively, were also followed using nitroso-R salt as a metal indicator in the μM range, i.e., under conditions typical for the ‘post-labeling’ technique to give radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies. In these cases, the reaction takes place between the 1:1 complex of Cu2+ with nitroso-R-salt and the macrocycle. At pH 6.5, the rates are very similar to each other indicating that the complexation properties of the macrocycle attached to a protein are not very different from those of the free ligand under comparable conditions.

    Notes: A series of tetra-N-alkylated 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecanes have been synthesized and their complexation potential towards Ni2+ and Cu2+ studied. In the case of sterically demanding alkyl substituents, such as i-Pr, PhCH2, or 2-MeC6H4CH2, no metal complexes are formed, whereas for substituents such as Me, Et, and Pr, the metal ion is incorporated into the macrocycle. The spectroscopic properties of the Ni2+ and Cu2+ complexes in aqueous solution indicate that, depending on the sterical hindrance of the N-substituents, the complexes are either square planar or pentacoordinated. All these Ni2+ and Cu2+ complexes react with N3- to give ternary species, the stability of which have been determined by spectrophotometric titrations. The tendency to bind N3- decreases with increasing steric hindrance of the alkyl substituents. The X-ray studies of the Ni2+ complex with the macrocycle 11, substituted by two Me and two Pr groups, and that of the Cu2+ complex with the tetraethyl derivative 8 show that in the solid state, the metal ions exhibit square planar coordination with a small distortion towards tetrahedral geometry.

    Notes: The 14-membered tetraazamacrocyclic Ni2+ and Cu2+ complexes of 4 (1, 4, 8-trimethyl-11-[(2-methylthio)ethyl]-1, 4, 8, 11-tetraazacyclotetradecane), 5. (1, 4-dimethyl-8, 11-bis[2-(methylthio)ethyl]-l, 4, 8, 11-tetraazacyclotetradecane), and 7 (1, 4, 8, ll-tetrakis[2-(methylthio)ethyl]-1, 4, 8, 11-tetraazacyclotetradecane), with pne, two, and four methylthio-substituted pendant chains, respectively, and the Ni2+ complex of 6 (1, 4-dimethyl-8, 11-bis (2-methoxyethyl)-1, 4, 8, 11-tetraazacyclotetradecane), with two methoxy-substituted pendant chains, were synthesized and their chemistry studied with regard to modelling F430. Solution spectra in H2O, MeCN, and DMF indicate participation of the side chain in metal coordination when the donor group is a thioether, whereas no coordination with the metal ion is observed with the ether group. Similarly the X-ray structures of the thioether-containing compounds [Ni(5)](ClO4)2, [Cu(5)](ClO4)2, and [Cu(7)](ClO4)2 show a coordination number of 5, whereas that of [Ni(6)](ClO4)2 with ether pendant chains, shows a coordination number of 4. Cyclic voltammetry of these complexes in MeCN reveals that Ni2+ is reversibly reduced to Ni+ between -0.64 and -0.77 V vs. SCE, the potential being influenced by the nature and number of the pendant chains. At more negative potentials, the thioether is cleaved, whereby a thiol is formed; the thiol is then oxidized at ca. + 0.8 V vs. SCE, when a glassy carbon electrode is used, or at ca. 0 V vs. SCE at a dropping Hg electrode. No cleavage of the ether bond in [Ni(6)](ClO4)2 is observed under similar conditions.

    Notes: The Cu2+ and Ni2+ complexes of three reinforced tetraazamacrocycles, containing a piperazine subunit and one or two alkyl substituents at the other two N-atoms have been prepared and their structural properties studied. In solution, the Ni2+ complexes are square-planar and show no tendency to axially coordinate a solvent molecule or an N3- ion. In contrast, the Cu2+ complexes change their geometry depending upon the donor properties of the solvent, being square-planar in MeNO2 and pentacoordinate in DMF. They also easily react in aqueous solution with N3- to give ternary species with pentacoordinate geometry, the stabilities of which have been determined. In the solid state, the X-ray crystal structures of three Cu2+ complexes also show both geometrical arrangements, two having a square-planar, the other one a distorted square pyramidal geometry. The difference behavior of Ni2+ and Cu2+ stems from the fact that the structural change from square-planar to square-pyramidal can easily be accomplished for Cu2+, whereas, for Ni2+, it is accompanied by an electronic rearrangement from the low-spin to the high-spin configuration. The relatively rigid ligands cannot Adapt to the somewhat larger high-spin Ni2+ion.

    Notes: The 14-membered macrocyclic Ni2+ complexes of 1 and 2, with a methylthio pendant chain, and those of 3 and 4, with a methoxy pendant chain, have been synthesized and their chemistry has been studied. Solution spectra in H2O, MeCN, and DMF indicate no participation of the side-chain donor group in metal coordination. This is also the case in the solid state as shown by the X-ray structures of the Ni2+ complexes with 1 and 2, in which a tetrahedrally distorted square-planar geometry around the Ni2+ results by the coordination of the four N-atoms of the macrocycle. Cyclic voltammetry of these complexes in MeCN reveals that Ni2+ is reversibly reduced to Ni+ between -0.7 and -0.8 V vs. SCE. For the complexes with 1 and 2, the thioether bond is cleaved at more negative potentials, whereby a thiol group is formed. This thiol group is then oxidized at ca. +0.7 V vs. SCE, when a glassy C electrode is used, or at ca. 0 V vs. SCE at a dropping Hg electrode. No cleavage of the ether bond in the complexes with 3 and 4 is observed under similar conditions. Reduction of the Ni2+ complexes of 1 and 2 with Na-amalgam in DMF produces small amounts of methane only in the case of 1, indicating the importance of the proximity between the NiI centre and the MeS group.

    Notes: Three N2S2 macrocycles (3, 10, 12) carrying an amino group as a pendant arm have been synthesized and their complexation properties towards Ni2+ and Cu2+ studied. The crystal structures of the Cu2+ complexes with 10-methyl-1,4-dithia-7,10-diazacyclododecane-7-ethanamine (3) and 11-methyl-1,4-dithia-8,11-diazacyclotetradecane-8-ethanamine (10) show that, in both cases, the Cu2+ is pentacoordinated by the four donor atoms of the macrocycle and the amino group of the side chain. In aqueous solution, however, two forms of the complexes with stoichiometries [MLH] and [ML] (M = Cu2+ or Ni2+) have been observed. In [MLH], the amino group is protonated and does not bind to the metal ion, whereas in [ML] the amino group is bound, and a pentacoordinated geometry results. The pKa values for the equilibrium [ML] + H+⇌[MLH]+ decrease in the order 12 〉 10 〉 3, indicating that the 2-aminoethyl side chain binds better to the Cu2+ than the 3-aminopropyl side chain. Cyclic voltammetry for the Cu2+/Cu+ pair shows that the 2-aminoethyl pendant arm stabilizes the Cu2+ oxidation state, when the metal ion is in the 14-membered ring (10), whereas it stabilizes Cu+ for the 12-membered macrocycle (3).
