The role of oxygen free radicals in the genesis of myocardial reperfusion injury is supported by the studies with superoxide dismutase (SOD) which pro-vides protection against the extention of myocardial injury. However, the efficacy of SOD may be of limited value due to its short plasma half-life of 5-6 min. Conjugation of SOD to polyethylene glycol (PEG-SOD) increases the half-life to>30 hours.

Forty-two male, mongrel anesthetized dogs were subjected to occlusion of left circumflex coronary artery for 90 min followed by 4 days of reperfusion. Dogs were randomized to receive either PEG-SOD (1,000 U/kg) or PEG-Albumin via left atrium, start-ing 15 min before reperfusion and ending simul-taneously with reperfusion, and were sacrificed 4 days leter. The hearts were stained by ex vivo dual perfusion technique for the determination of myocardial infarct size.

In farct size expressed as a percent of area-at-risk in PEG-SOD (n=13) and PEG-Albumin (n=13) trea-ted dogs differed significantly between groups : 29. 2 -1.6% vs 44. 2±2. 6%, respectively (p<0. 01) with no observed difference in the size of area-at-risk : 46. 0± 1. 6% vs 44. 4±1. 4% (n. s.). Hemodynamic parameters between groups did not differ during coronary artery occlusion and could not account for the effect of PEG-SOD on infarct size. Collateralblood flows to the inner 2/3 of the ischemic myo-cardium for both groups did not differ. Plasma SOD activity in PEG-SOD group initially exceeded 20 U/kg and sustained significantly for 4 days.

Our results support previous positive observations that SOD is able to reduce infarct size associated with reperfusion. Previous negative studies with native SOD may be related, in part, to the short plasma half-life of its free radical scavenging capaci-ty. This defficiency is overcome by the use of con-jugated form of SOD which has a relatively pro-longed half-life, thereby preventing the extension of myocardial injury in the later phase of reperfusion.
