Exercise tolerance was tested with cycloergometer, and ECG recorded in 33 patients with exercise-induced angina pectoris. Patients' age ranged from 36 to 65 years. Tests were performed prior to and after a single oral dose 2 mg of molsidomine or placebo. Molsidomine reduced the number of patients with exercise-induced coronary pain from 33 to 25, i.e. from 84.5% to 27.27%. Pain-free period was significantly longer in patients given molsidomine whereas postexercise pain and total duration of the coronary pain were significantly shorter. Total work was markedly higher, and maximum ST depression in ECG record following exercise was significantly lower than the values noted prior to molsidomine administration and in placebo group. Heart rates both resting and during exercise did not differ in molsidomine and placebo groups. Molsidomine may be considered as an effective drug preventing exercise-induced anginal pain within 1 hour after administration.

It is suggested that gastrointestinal mucosal blood flow depends on a balanced release of vasoactive substances from the endothelium. The present study investigated the effects of molsidomine on the small intestine after ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in four groups of 10 rats each composed: (1) SO, sham operation; (2) untreated I/R; (3) ML, I/R plus molsidomine pretreatment; (4) L-NAME, I/R plus N-omega-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester pretreatment. Intestinal ischemia for 45 min and reperfusion for 60 min were applied. Ileum specimens were obtained to determine the tissue level of malondialdehyde (MDA) and histologic changes. Mean MDA levels in the SO, untreated I/R, ML, and L-NAME groups were 95.60 +/- 2.59, 136.90 +/- 4.35, 121.10 +/- 3.38, and 137.40 +/- 4.42 nmol/g wet tissue, respectively. Although the MDA level in the ML group was higher than in the SO group ( P < 0.0001), it was significantly lower compared to the untreated I/R and L-NAME groups ( P < 0.0001, P < 0.0001). Mucosal injury scores (MIS) in groups 1-4 were 0.2 +/- 0.42, 3.9 +/- 0.73, 1.5 +/- 0.70, and 4.1 +/- 0.56, respectively. In group 3 the MIS was significantly lower than in groups 2 and 4 ( P < 0.0001, P < 0.0001). Molsidomine plays a role in attenuating reperfusion injury of the small intestine by depression of tissue MDA levels and MIS and regulates post-ischemic intestinal perfusion while restoring the intestinal microcirculatory blood flow and histologic injury.
