A novel in vitro intra-arterially perfused adult rat tongue-nerve preparation was used to explore the possible actions of P2X purinoceptor agonists (ATP and alpha,beta-methylene ATP (alpha, beta-meATP)) on sensory nerve terminals innervating the rat tongue. We made whole-nerve recordings of the trigeminal branch of the lingual nerve (LN), which conducts general sensory information (pain, temper...
Voiding dysfunctions, including increased voiding frequency, urgency, or incontinence, are prevalent in the postmenopausal population. Beta(3)-adrenergic receptor (beta(3)AR) agonists, which relax bladder smooth muscle, are being developed to treat these conditions. We utilized the rat ovariectomy (OVX) model to investigate the effect of ovarian hormone depletion on bladder function and the pot...
With the advent of numerous candidate drugs for therapy in cystic fibrosis (CF), there is an urgent need for easily interpretable assays for testing their therapeutic value. Defects in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) abolished beta-adrenergic but not cholinergic sweating in CF. Therefore, the beta-adrenergic response of the sweat gland may serve both as an in vivo...
New long-acting beta 2-adrenoceptor agonists, formoterol and salmeterol, may soon appear in several European countries for treatment of asthma. This review examines currently available information and compares the basic pharmacology and describes the clinical effects of these new drugs. The long duration of bronchodilation seen in clinical studies seems to be similar, whereas in isolated tissue...
Benzodiazepine site agonists or inverse agonists enhance or reduce gamma-aminobutyric acid(A) (GABA(A)) receptor-mediated inhibition of neurons, respectively. Recently, it was demonstrated that the point mutation gamma 2F77I causes a drastic change in the affinity of a variety of benzodiazepine agonists or inverse agonists in receptor binding studies. Here we investigated the potency and effica...
Beta(2)-Adrenergic receptors (beta(2)AR) are expressed on airway smooth muscle cells and act to relax the airway on activation by beta-agonists. These agents are utilized for treating asthma but are associated with adverse outcomes. To ascertain the effects of persistent beta(2)AR activation on gene expression, cultured airway smooth muscle cells derived from wild-type (WT) and transgenic mice ...
beta-Adrenergic agonists (beta-agonists) are commonly used to treat respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) bronchiolitis but are generally ineffective for unknown reasons. We have previously shown that RSV strain A2 inhibits bronchoalveolar epithelial responses to beta-agonists in a BALB/c mouse model by inducing heterologous keratinocyte cytokine (KC)/CXCR2-mediated desensitization of epithelial be...
1. Formoterol and salmeterol are the first members of a new generation of long-acting beta(2)-adrenoceptor agonists for inhalation. The discovery of the long effect duration of formoterol was made by chance, while the development of salmeterol appeared to follow a purposeful research strategy. 2. Preclinical evaluation predictive of the clinical duration of effect of long-acting bronchodilators...
Beta2-adrenoceptor agonists have been used as bronchodilators in the management of bronchial asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD); however, there is evidence suggesting that beta2adrenoceptor agonist use may increase morbidity and mortality1. The long term beta-agonists, salmeterol and formeterol were introduced at the time of heightened concern about safety of beta2 agonist ...
Interspecies differences in the cardiac negative inotropic effects of beta(3)-adrenoceptor agonists.
The aim of the present study was to compare the effects of three preferential (BRL 37344, SR 58611, CL 316 243) and a partial (CGP 12177) beta-adrenoceptor (beta(3)-AR) agonists on the contractility of ventricular strips sampled from various mammalian species including humans. In the human heart, all beta(3)-AR agonists tested decreased contractility by 40 to 60% below control with an order of ...
