The hypothesis that adenosine A1 receptor (A1AdoR) selective antagonism limits cardiac depression and prolongs survival during acute global hypoxia was tested in a postinsult treatment model using KW-3902 ([8-(noradamantan-3-yl)-1,3-dipropylxanthine]), an A1AdoR selective antagonist. Rats were anesthetized, paralyzed, then ventilated with 8% O2 (hypoxia). In protocol I, 5 min after hypoxia, rats were treated with saline, drug vehicle, or KW-3902 (0.1 mg/kg i.v.). In protocol II, KW-3902 treatment occurred 2.5, 5, or 7.5 min after hypoxia. In protocol I, after hypoxia, left ventricular contractility, heart rate, and systemic mean arterial blood pressure decreased rapidly in saline-and vehicle-treated groups. In contrast, KW-3902 significantly attenuated the decline in these variables. Survival time (the time from the commencement of hypoxia until death) was more prolonged with KW-3902 (109.5 +/- 9.1 min) than with saline (37.6 +/- 5.0 min) or vehicle (35.0 +/- 4.2 min) (p < 0.001). In protocol II, survival time increased from 29.2 +/- 5.5 min in the 7.5-min treatment group to 109.5 +/- 9.5 min (5-min group) and 245.9 +/- 26.1 min (2.5-min group; p < 0.001). KW-3902 prolongs survival in this model, presumably by antagonizing A1AdoR-mediated inhibition of cardiac function. Also, treatment efficacy is highly time dependent.
