Objectives: This study was to investigate cardioprotective effects of ranolazine and to explore possible secondary mechanisms beyond the cellular studies have demonstrated inhibition of late sodium channel(INaL) leads to reduction in calcium load during cardiac ischemia. We hypothesized that ranolazine-induce Nitric oxide, Adenosine, Bradykinin and K+ATPase like ischemic preconditioning.
Methods: Ischemia-reperfusion injury was established using Langendroff’s technique. 20minute ischemia and 40minute reperfusion to coronary artery to isolated heart was model of myocardial infarction. There were following groups: Control(Ischeamia-Reperfusion), Ischemic preconditioning, ranolazine(100µmol/L), ranolazine+L-NAME(30µmol/L) and ranolazine+Aminoguanidine(30µmol/L), ranolazine+Theophylline(50µmol/L), ranolazine+Aminophylline(50µmol/L), ranolazine+Enalapiril(100µmol/L), ranolazine+Losartan(50µmol/L), ranolazine+5-hydroxydecanoate(30µmol/L), ranolazine+glimepiride(50µmol/L) in perfusate.

Conclusions: As per confirmation Ranolazine and ischemic preconditioning have brought cardioprotection as reduced Infract Size, LDH & CK-MB. Wereas, treatment of L-NAME, Aminoguanidine, Theoplylline, Aminoplylline, Enalapiril, Losartan, 5-hydroxydecanoate & Glimepiride increased infract size, LDH & CK-MB. Hence it is proved that ranolazine involves Nitric oxide, Adenosine, Bradykinin and K+ATPase as secondary messenger in cardioprotection like ischemic preconditioning.
