The effect of the isomers of cyclo(Trp-Pro) on heart and ion-channel activity

Abstract: Cyclo(L-Trp-L-Pro) has shown potential for use in the treatment of cardiovascular dysfunction. The aim of the study was to determine the effects of the isomers of cyclo(Trp-Pro) - cyclo(L-Trp-L-Pro), cyclo(L-Trp-D-Pro), cyclo(D-Trp-L-Pro) and cyclo(D-Trp-D-Pro) - on heart and ion-channel activity. The effects on L-type Ca(2+)-channel, Na(+)-channel and inward rectifier K(+)-channel activity were determined by using the whole-cell patch-clamp technique on myocytes of guinea-pig origin. Dependence on the membran… Show more

“…Many investigations reveal DKPs to be antitumour, antibacterial and antifungal agents (Prasad, 1995;Milne et al 1998;Strö m et al 2002;McCleland et al 2004). For instance, cyclo-(Trp-Pro) has been therapeutically used in the modulation of membrane potassium ion channels (Jamie et al 2002). However, the present study is the first to show the antifouling activity of these compounds.…”

“…Tryptophan derivatives like the DKPs identified are especially interesting for presenting an indole moiety, which is common in medicinal chemistry and may influence several biological activities [51,52]. Brevianamide F is also reported as a potential compound for treatment of cardiovascular dysfunction [53]. As shown, fatty amides, XA and DKPs were mainly produced in A1 and PC-1 media.…”

“…3C, left panel). Even complete absence of changes in the QRS-complex width under the effect of a drug blocking I Na has been documented, for example under the effect of mexiletine (Shimizu et al 2000) and cyclo(Trp-Pro) isomers (Jamie et al 2002). These differences between results of in vivo and in vitro experiments may be caused, among others (e.g.…”
