Summary The cardiovascular effects of CP-96,345, a non-peptide antagonist of substance P, were analyzed in vivo and in vitro. In the anaesthetized rat, the i.v. injection of 3 µmolkg−1 of CP-96,345 induced a fall in mean arterial blood pressure and a reduction in heart rate. Similar effects were obtained with the enantiomer CP-96,344 ((2R,3R)-cis-isomer of CP-96,345) which does not interact with substance P receptors. Both enantiomers, at a concentration of 10 gM, decreased the beating frequency of the isolated atria and of the isolated perfused heart of the guinea-pig to a similar extent, and caused transient coronary dilatation. CP-96,345 (10 µM) decreased the spontaneous sinus rate, prolonged the atrioventricularnodal conduction interval and the His-bundle conduction interval of the perfused guinea-pig heart. The intraventricular spread of conduction was markedly inhibited. During programmed stimulation 10 min after the beginning of the drug application, the effective refractory periods evaluated by stimulation with premature beats, as well as rate dependent effective refractory periods, of the atrioventricular node, of the atrial and of the ventricular myocardium, were prolonged. Sinus node recovery time was also prolonged. It was concluded that these cardiac effects of CP-96,345 were not caused by an action of the compound on substance P receptors.
