Product Data
Biological target:
Quazinone is a selective inhibitor of phosphodiesterase 3 (PDE3) with positive inotropic and vasodilating properties. It induces relaxation of precontracted isolated human cavernous smooth muscle. Quazinone increases myocardial contractile force in anesthetized open-chest dogs in a dose-dependent manner, as well as decreases systolic and diastolic blood pressure. It also inhibits DNA synthesis induced by the PDGF isoform PDGF-BB in bovine coronary artery smooth muscle cells in a concentration-dependent manner.
In vitro activity:
Quazinone had potency at least equal to that of papaverine (a non-selective PDE inhibitor) and had a superior effect compared to Rolipram (a selective PDE IV inhibitor) and zaprinast (a selective PDE V inhibitor). The relaxation effect of PDE inhibitors was evaluated in an organ-bath study. This study provides the rationale and opens the possibility of using selective PDE inhibitors in the treatment of patients with erectile dysfunction. Reference: World J Urol. 1997;15(1):32-5. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9066092/
In vivo activity:
Quazinone increased tension development of isolated guinea pig left atria in a concentration-dependent manner with an EC50 of 30 microM, but had no stimulant effect on the spontaneous rate of right atria. In chronically instrumented, conscious dogs Quazinone increased myocardial contractility after administration of 0.03-0.3 mg/kg i.v. or 3-10 mg/kg p.o. The effects persisted for greater than 8 h after oral administration of 10 mg/kg. The inotropic effects were accompanied by a modest increase in heart rate.
