The antianginal agent trimetazidine does not exert its functional benefit via inhibition of mitochondrial long-chain 3-ketoacyl coenzyme A thiolase
Abstract
Trimetazidine acts as an effective antianginal clinical agent by modulating cardiac energy metabolism. Recent published data support the hypothesis that trimetazidine selectively inhibits long-chain 3-ketoacyl CoA thiolase (LC 3-KAT), thereby reducing fatty acid oxidation resulting in clinical benefit. The aim of this study was to assess whether trimetazidine and ranolazine, which may also act as a metabolic modulator, are specific inhibitors of LC 3-KAT. We have demonstrated that trimetazidine and ranolazine do not inhibit crude and purified rat heart or recombinant human LC 3-KAT by methods that both assess the ability of LC 3-KAT to turnover specific substrate, and LC 3-KAT activity as a functional component of intact cellular beta-oxidation. Furthermore, we have demonstrated that trimetazidine does not inhibit any component of beta-oxidation in an isolated human cardiomyocyte cell line. Ranolazine, however, did demonstrate a partial inhibition of beta-oxidation in a dose-dependent manner (12% at 100 micromol/L and 30% at 300 micromol/L). Both trimetazidine (10 micromol/L) and ranolazine (20 micromol/L) improved the recovery of cardiac function after a period of no flow ischemia in the isolated working rat heart perfused with a buffer containing a relatively high concentration (1.2 mmol/L) of free fatty acid. In summary, both trimetazidine and ranolazine were able to improve ischemic cardiac function but inhibition of LC 3-KAT is not part of their mechanism of action.
