We investigated the therapeutic effect of MH-76 and MH-79, which are non-quinazoline alpha 1-adrenoceptor antagonists with an additional ability to stimulate the nitric oxide (NO)/cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)/K + pathway, on deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA)-salt induced hypertension in rats. Prazosin was used as a reference compound, as quinazoline-based alpha 1-adrenolytics may potentially exert unfavorable proapoptotic and necrotic effects. DOCA-salt hypertension was induced by DOCA (20 mg/kg s.c., twice weekly) administration plus 1% NaCl and 0.2% KCl solutions in drinking water for 12 weeks. The studied compounds MH-76, MH-79 (10 mg/kg i.p.) or prazosin (0.4 mg/kg i.p.) were administered to the DOCA-salt-treated rats, starting from the 6th week of DOCA-salt treatment and continuing for 6 weeks. This study showed that the administration of MH-79 and, to a lesser extent, MH-76 decreased elevated systolic blood pressure and heart rate, reduced heart and kidney hypertrophy, and reversed the histopathological alterations of the heart, kidney, and vessels in DOCA-salt hypertensive rats. MH-79 reversed endothelial dysfunction, which reduced inflammatory cell infiltration, arteriosclerotic alterations in renal and coronary arteries, and tubulointerstitial fibrosis. Prazosin showed a potent hemodynamic effect and reduced cardiac and renal fibrosis but exerted detrimental effects on blood vessels, potentiating fibroplasia of the media of the intrarenal artery and causing calcification of coronary arteries. Prazosin did not reverse endothelial dysfunction. Our results show the beneficial effect of non-quinazoline alpha 1-adrenolytics on cardiac, vascular, and renal dysfunction in DOCA-salt hypertensive rats. Our findings also support the idea that targeting endothelial protection and endothelial integrity would yield beneficial effects against cardiac, blood vessel and renal injury related to hypertension.
