Increased blocking activity of combined tachykinin NK1- and NK2-receptor antagonists on hyperventilation-induced bronchoconstriction in the guinea pig
چکیده انگلیسی
In vivo anesthetized guinea pigs were used to investigate the effect of tachykinin NK1- and NK2-receptor antagonists, as a single dose or in combination, against hyperventilation-induced bronchoconstriction (HIB). Guinea pigs were ventilated with a rodent ventilator and placed in a whole-body plethysmograph. Hyperventilation was induced by increasing the respiratory rate from 50 to 185 breaths/min for 10 min that produced a 177±45% increase in pulmonary resistance (RL) and a 68±7% decrease in lung compliance (CDyn). Intravenous (0.03-0.3 mg/kg) and oral (0.3-10 mg/kg) pretreatments with the tachykinin NK2-antagonist SR 48968 produced a dose-dependent inhibition of HIB whereas pretreatments with the tachykinin NK1-antagonist CP 99994 (1 mg/kg intravenously and 30 mg/kg orally) had no effect on HIB. Intravenous and oral combinations of inactive and low doses of CP 99994 and SR 48968 produced a greater inhibition of HIB than SR 48968 alone. Also, the tachykinin NK3-antagonist SB 223412 (1-3 mg/kg intravenously and 30 mg/kg orally) did not significantly reduce HIB although a trend was observed at the highest dose tested intravenously (3 mg/kg). We conclude that HIB in the guinea pig is mostly mediated by the tachykinin NK2-receptors and to a lesser extent by the tachykinin NK1-receptors. Because the hyperventilation response in guinea pigs may be a surrogate for exercise-induced obstructive airway disease in human, these results suggest that combined use of dual tachykinin NK1- and NK2-receptor antagonists may provide greater benefit than treatment with single activity tachykinin NK-receptor antagonist.
