Background It is still unclear whether celiprolol, a β_1-selective blocker, reduces myocardial infarct size. This study will examine whether celiprolol reduces myocardial infarct size, as well as investigate the mechanisms for its infarct size-reducing effect in rabbits. Methods and Results Japanese white rabbits underwent 30min of ischemia and 48h of reperfusion. Celiprolol (1 or 10mg-kg^<-1>・h^<-1> for 60min, iv) was administered 20min before ischemia with or without pretreatment with N〜ω-nitro-L-arginine methylester (L-NAME, 10mg/kg, iv, a nitric oxide synthase inhibitor) or 5-hydroxydecanoic acid sodium salt (5-HD, 5mg/kg, iv, a mitochondrial K_<ATP> channel blocker). The area at risk as a percentage of the left ventricle was determined by using Evens blue dye, and the infarct size was determined as a percentage of the area at risk by triphenyl tetrazolium chloride staining. Celiprolol 1 and lOmg-kg^<-1>・h^<-1> significantly reduced the infarct size in a dose-dependent manner (36.4±1.7%, n=7 and 25.4±2.9%, n=7, respectively) compared with the control (46.2±3.1%, n=8). The infarct size-reducing effect of celiprolol was completely blocked by L-NAME (40.4±2.8%, n=8) but not by 5-HD (27.3±1.0%, n=8). Celiprolol 1 nig-kg^<-1>・h^<-1> increased the myocardial interstitial levels of NO_x, an indicator of nitric oxide, and reduced the intensity of dihydroetidium staining of myocardium, an indicator of superoxide, during reperfusion after 30min of ischemia. Conclusion Celiprolol reduces myocardial infarct size and also increases nitric oxide production and reduces superoxide levels but not mitochondrial K_<ATP> channels in rabbits.
