Milrinone

1,6-Dihydro-2-methyl-6-oxo-(3,4 inverted exclamation mark -bipyridine)-5-carbonitrile

Milrinone is a member of the class of bipyridines that is 2-pyridone which is substituted at positions 3, 5, and 6 by cyano, pyrid-4-yl, and methyl groups, respectively. It is used (particularly intravenously, as the lactate) for the short-term management of severe heart failure. It has a role as an EC 3.1.4.17 (3,5-cyclic-nucleotide phosphodiesterase) inhibitor, a platelet aggregation inhibitor, a vasodilator agent and a cardiotonic drug. It is a pyridone, a nitrile and a member of bipyridines. Heart failure is a multifactorial condition that affects roughly 1-2\\% of the adult population. Often the result of long-term myocardial ischemia, cardiomyopathy, or other cardiac insults, heart failure results from an inability of the heart to perfuse peripheral tissues with sufficient oxygen and metabolites, resulting in complex systemic pathologies. Heart failure is underpinned by numerous physiological changes, including alteration in β-adrenergic signalling and cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) production, which affects the hearts contractile function and cardiac output. Milrinone is a second-generation bipyridine phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitor created through chemical modification of [amrinone]. As a PDE-III inhibitor, milrinone results in increased cAMP levels and improves cardiac function and peripheral vasodilation in acute decongested heart failure. Milrinone was originally synthesized at the Sterling Winthrop Research Institute in the 1980s. It was approved by the FDA on December 31, 1987, and was marketed under the trademark PRIMACOR® by Sanofi-Aventis US before being discontinued. Milrinone is a Phosphodiesterase 3 Inhibitor. The mechanism of action of milrinone is as a Phosphodiesterase 3 Inhibitor. Milrinone is a cardiovascular bipyridine agent and phosphodiesterase (PDE) III inhibitor, with positive inotropic and vasodilator activities. Upon administration, milrinone selectively inhibits PDE-mediated degradation of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) in the heart and vascular muscles, thereby increasing cAMP and activates protein kinase A (PKA). This leads to phosphorylation of calcium ion channels and improve myocardium contractile force. Milrinone also causes vasodilation in arteriolar and venous vascular smooth muscle. A positive inotropic cardiotonic agent with vasodilator properties. It inhibits cAMP phosphodiesterase type 3 activity in myocardium and vascular smooth muscle. Milrinone is a derivative of amrinone and has 20-30 times the inotropic potency of amrinone. See also: Milrinone Lactate (active moiety of). Milrinone is only found in individuals that have used or taken this drug. It is a positive inotropic cardiotonic agent with vasodilator properties. Milrinone inhibits erythrocyte phosphodiesterase, resulting in an increase in erythrocyte cAMP activity. Subsequently, the erythrocyte membrane becomes more resistant to deformity. Along with erythrocyte activity, Milrinone also decreases blood viscosity by reducing plasma fibrinogen concentrations and increasing fibrinolytic activity. It also inhibits cAMP phosphodiesterase activity in myocardium and vascular smooth muscle. Milrinone is a derivative of amrinone and has 20-30 times the ionotropic potency of amrinone.
