Abstract:
Anti-ischemic activity of fabomotizole hydrochloride was studied on the model of subendocardial ischemia in rats with endothelial dysfunction. Endothelial dysfunction was modeled by intragastric administration of methionine (3 g/kg, once a day for 7 days). Acute subendocardial ischemia was induced in narcotized rats by intraperitoneal injection of isoproterenol (20 μg/kg/min over 5 min). Fabomotizole hydrochloride (intraperitoneally, 15 mg/kg) significantly reduced isoproterenol-induced ST segment depression in animals with endothelial dysfunction and with intact vasculature.

Antianginal Drugs: Nitrates and β-Blockers
Organic nitrates, such as nitroglycerin, play a pivotal role. Once metabolized, they liberate nitric oxide, a molecular marvel. Nitric oxide triggers guanylyl cyclase and augments cGMP production. This biochemical cascade orchestrates the relaxation of vascular smooth muscles, ushering in vasodilation and enhancing coronary blood flow....
