Abstract

An in vitro isolated working frog heart (Rana esculenta) was used to study the effects of exogenous CGA_1-76 (vasostatin 1), CGA_1-113 (vasostatin 2), and the synthetic CGA_7-57 on cardiac performance. Under basal cardiac conditions, the dose-response curves of the three peptides from 10^-8 to 10^-7 M showed a significant calcium-dependent negative inotropism that involved neither the endocardial endothelium nor the adrenergic and muscarinic receptors. In addition, the CgA fragments clearly counteracted the typical positive inotropism of isoprenaline (10^-9 M). Taken together, these results provide the first evidence for a cardio-suppressive role for the vasostatins.
