Stabilization of excess charge in isolated adenosine 5'-triphosphate and adenosine 5'-diphosphate multiply and singly charged anions.

Multiply charged anions (MCAs) represent highly energetic species in the gas phase but can be stabilized through formation of molecular clusters with solvent molecules or counterions. We explore the intramolecular stabilization of excess negative charge in gas-phase MCAs by probing the intrinsic stability of the [adenosine 5'-triphosphate-2H](2-) ([ATP-2H](2-)), [adenosine 5'-diphosphate-2H](2-) ([ADP-2H](2-)), and H(3)P(3)O(10)(2-) dianions and their protonated monoanionic analogues. The relative activation barriers for decay of the dianions via electron detachment or ionic fragmentation are investigated using resonance excitation of ions isolated within a quadrupole trap. All of the dianions decayed via ionic fragmentation demonstrating that the repulsive Coulomb barriers (RCB) for ionic fragmentation lie below the RCBs for electron detachment. Both the electrospray ionization mass spectra (ESI-MS) and total fragmentation energies for [ATP-2H](2-), [ADP-2H](2-), and H(3)P(3)O(10)(2-) indicate that the multiply charged H(3)P(3)O(10)(2-) phosphate moiety is stabilized by the presence of the adenosine group and the stability of the dianions increases in the order H(3)P(3)O(10)(2-) < [ADP-2H](2-) < [ATP-2H](2-). Fully optimized, B3LYP/6-31+G* minimum energy structures illustrate that the excess charges in all of the phosphate anions are stabilized by intramolecular hydrogen bonding either within the phosphate chain or between the phosphate and the adenosine. We develop a model to illustrate that the relative magnitudes of the RCBs and hence the stability of these ions is dominated by the extent of intramolecular hydrogen bonding.

Intracoronary administration of adenosine triphosphate increases coronary blood flow and attenuates the severity of myocardial ischemic injury in dogs.

ATP generates nitric oxide (NO) via activation of P2y receptors, and is degraded to adenosine. This study was undertaken to examine whether ATP causes coronary hyperemic flow via purinoceptors-, NO- and adenosine-dependent mechanisms, and attenuates the severity of contractile and metabolic dysfunction in the ischemic myocardium. In the non-ischemic canine hearts, the infusions of ATP into the coronary artery dose-dependently increased coronary blood flow. The levels of adenosine and end-product of NO in coronary venous blood over the arterial blood also increased. This hyperemic flow was partially attenuated by either 8-sulfophenyltheophylline (8SPT) or L(omega)-nitro arginine methyl ester (L-NAME), and completely blocked by the treatment with 8SPT, L-NAME and suramin (SRM). During myocardial ischemia, exogenous ATP increased coronary blood flow, and attenuated myocardial metabolic and contractile dysfunction, which was completely blunted by the treatment with 8SPT, L-NAME and SRM. We conclude that exogenous ATP increases coronary blood flow in the non-ischemic and ischemic myocardium mainly via either NO- or adenosine-dependent mechanisms.
