The ability of the mixed endothelin (ETA/ETB) receptor antagonist (+/-)- SB 209670 to prevent and reverse ischemia-induced acute renal failure (ARF) was studied in rats with moderate and severe ARF. Uninephrectomized, chronically instrumented Sprague-Dawley rats were used. Moderate and severe ARF was induced by occlusion of the renal artery for 30 and 45 min, respectively. During the 24 hr after 30-min ischemia (moderate ARF), glomerular filtration rate (GFR) decreased by 95%, and fractional excretion of sodium increased from 0.6% to 10%. Infusion of (+/-)-SB 209670 at 10, 30 and 100 micrograms/kg.min for 30 min before, during and 60 min after renal ischemia had a moderate effect on renal function. Thus, with the highest dose, the ischemia- induced reduction in GFR was 70%. This dose, however, had no effect in rats when given before, during and after 45 min of renal ischemia (severe ARF). In contrast, when infused at 30 micrograms/kg.min for 3 hr on the day after ischemia, (+/-)-SB 209670 markedly increased survival rate (75%) in rats with severe ARF by significantly increasing tubular reabsorption of Na+, followed by a slow and gradual increase in GFR and reversal of the increase in plasma K+ concentration. Data from acute renal clearance studies in rats with moderate ARF showed that when infused 24 hr after ischemia, (+/-)-SB 209670 acutely reversed the impairment in sodium reabsorption without increasing GFR or renal blood flow.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
