The tissues were then washed and when the baseline had recovered a second concentration-response curve was constructed in the presence of compound [1] (10 * 9 to 10" ⁇ M) or vehicle. Maximum contractions are given for the initial concentration-response curve, and percentages of these maxima are given for the 10" ⁇ and 3 x 10' ⁇ M concentrations of 5-HT and carbachol as means ⁇ S.E. (n>4). Maximal contraction (mg tension) to 5-HT or carbachol in initial concentration- response experiment
- Guinea-pig bronchial rings were mounted between platinum electrodes and stimulated in the presence of propranolol (l ⁇ M) and atropine (l ⁇ M) by the application of 10 sec. trains of 60-70V, biphasic, 0.5 msec pulses at a frequency of 10Hz, with at least 15 min. between successive stimuli.
- Guinea-pig tracheal spirals were prepared and contracted using EC70 concentrations of spasmogens as described by Taylor ej. al. (Br. J. Pharmacol., 1988, 95, 795P).
- Guinea-pig portal veins were set up under 2g tension and, after equilibrating for one hour, tone was induced with K + (30 mM).
- Concentration response curves for the effects of levcromakalim and compound [1] on tension were conducted in bronchial rings with washing between each addition of an increased concentration. Cumulative concentration response curves were conducted in tracheal spirals and portal vein. IC50 values are geometric means of at least 4 determinations.
- Compound [1] is 27-fold more potent than levcromakalim in inhibiting NANCe-mediated contraction, which indicates ⁇ at it is similarly more potent in inhibiting sensory neuropeptide release (see Good ⁇ . &.- 1992, Br. J. Pharmacol, 105. 933-940). This improvement in potency is equal to the greatest difference found for the direct smooth muscle relaxant effects in tracheal spirals and much greater d an ⁇ at in portal vein.
