Dipyridamole solution is prepared as follows: 20 mg Dipyridamole (Sigma-Aldrich, D9766) was first diluted in 400 μL of DMSO (Cayman, 71210) and then in 2 mL of 100% ethanol. Sonication was performed in a water bath until it was completely dissolved. Finally, 17.6 mL of corn oil was added to the solution for a final working concentration of 1 mg/mL (19 (link)). The solution was kept in the dark due to light sensitivity. Mice were pretreated with Dipyridamole, 5 mg/kg, i.p. 60 minutes prior to the onset of myocardial ischemia. The control groups were given the same amount of PBS.
