چکیده مقاله:

We have measured the competitive antagonistic effect of chlorpheniramine in bronchi of 8 normal and 12 asthmatic subjects. Classical pharmacological theory states that the degree of competitive antagonism depends only upon 1) antagonist concentration at the receptor, and 2) receptor affinity. Delivery and affinity also influence agonist responsiveness, but measurement of bronchial antagonism allows study of these factors in isolation. Bronchial responsiveness to histamine was measured as the dose required to produce a 35% fall in specific conductance (sGaw), called PD35• On different days, 2 measurements of control PD35 were made on each subject. Measurements of PD35 were also repeated after inhalation of 1.45 mg chlorpheniramine and intravenous injection of 0.17 mg/kg chlorpheniramine. Antagonist effect of chlorpheniramine was measured as Dose Ratio-l (DR-I), where DR= PD35 after chlorpheniramine/control PD35• Geometric mean of DR -1 with inhaled chlorpheniramine in asthmatic subjects (5.8) was 6.8 times that of normal subjects (0.86) (p= 0.002), and DR-l with intravenous chlorpheniramine in asthmatic subjects (4.4) was 2.75 times that of normal subjects (1.6) (p=0.005). There were significant negative correlations between PD35 and DR-I, whether chlorpheniramine was administered by inhalation (r= -0.87, p<O.OO 1) or intravenously (r= -0.62, p<0.005). There was also a significant correlation between DR-1 obtained by two routes of administration (r= 0.77, p<0.001). Taken with our previous study showing enhanced antagonism with atropine at bronchial muscarinic receptors in asthma, I these results suggest that drug delivery by inhaled and parenteral routes may be increased in asthmatic bronchi.

INCREASED HISTAMINE Hi RECEPTOR BLOCKADE BY CHLORPHENIRAMINE IN TRACHEAL CHAINS OF ASTHMATIC GUINEA PIGS

Receptor affinity and drug delivery to the receptor sites could be determinant factors for the increased bronchial responsiveness seen in asthma. Competitive antagonism blockade which is measured as dose ratio-l (DR-I) depends only on these two factors. Therefore, in this study we have examined histamine HI blockade by chlorpheniramine on isolated tracheal chains of asthmatic compared to co...

H2 receptor blockade and bronchial hyperreactivity to histamine in asthma.

The role of histamine H1 and H2 receptors in the lung is not clear. H1 receptor blockade results in bronchodilatation and inhibition of histamine induced bronchoconstriction. H2 receptor blockade in vitro prevents the normal negative feedback of histamine on further mediator release in antigen challenge. Bronchospasm in guinea pigs given antigen challenge is enhanced by previous administration ...

SHORT TERM VARIATION OF ATROPINE BLOCKADE IN THE TRACHEOBRONCHIAL TREE OF ASTHMATIC SUBJECTS

In asthmatic subjects there is a pronounced diurnal variation in bronchial responsiveness. If this phenomenon is due to variation in factors that control drug delivery, then it should be paralleled by a similar variation in competitive antagonist blockade. In order to study this possibility, we performed the methacholine challenge test and after 45 minutes, administered atropine by inhalat...

Asthma-Like Tracheo-Bronchial Amyloidosis

Localized bronchial Amyloidosis is an uncommon disease of unknown origin. Clinical signs are not specific. Tracheobronchial symptoms are the most frequent. We report a case of a 31 year-old man complaining of asthma-like dyspnea. Bronchoscopy was performed because of ineffectiveness of antiasthmatic treatment, showed a submucosal infiltration with stenosis of both right and left upper bronchi a...
