The objective was to determine if the benzothiazepine compound CGP-37157 selectively inhibits the Na(+)-Ca2+ exchanger of cardiac mitochondria without affecting the L-type voltage-dependent calcium channel, the Na(+)-Ca2+ exchanger, or the Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase of the cardiac sarcolemma, or the Ca(2+)-ATPase of the cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum. Mitochondrial Na(+)-Ca2+ exchange activity was determined by monitoring intramitochondrial free [Ca2+] in isolated heart mitochondria loaded with the Ca(2+)-sensitive fluorophore fura-2. CGP-37157 inhibited the activity of mitochondrial Na(+)-Ca2+ exchange in a dose-dependent manner (IC50 0.36 microM). Calcium currents were recorded by whole-cell voltage clamp in isolated neonatal ventricular myocytes. Diltiazem was able to block the recorded current completely, thus confirming the current to be exclusively L-type. CGP-37157 had no effect on the calcium current recorded under identical conditions. CGP-37157, at concentrations < or = 10 microM, had no effect on the activities of the Na(+)-Ca2+ exchanger and Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase in isolated cardiac sarcolemmal vesicles or on activity of the Ca(2+)-ATPase in isolated cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles. The data suggest that CGP-37157 is a potent, selective, and specific inhibitor of mitochondrial Na(+)-Ca2+ exchange at concentrations < or = 10 microM.
