Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To compare in vivo the potency and bladder-vascular selectivity of ATP-sensitive potassium channel openers (KCOs) (-)-cromakalim, WAY-133537 and ZD6169 and a muscarinic antagonist, tolterodine in rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS:Bladder and arterial pressures were monitored simultaneously, before and after increasing intravenous doses of compounds, in each of two urethane-anaesthetized rat bladder hyperactivity models: spontaneous non-voiding myogenic contractions secondary to partial outlet obstruction and volume-induced neurogenic contractions. RESULTS:(-)-Cromakalim, WAY-133537 and ZD6169 caused a dose-dependent suppression of spontaneous contractions in the obstructed model, with a 50% inhibition of the contraction area under the curve at doses of 0.06, 0.14 and 2.4 micro mol/kg (intravenous), respectively. Corresponding decreases in mean arterial pressure at these effective doses were 24%, 15% and 15%, respectively. The KCO potency rank order was the same and their relative potency highly comparable in the neurogenic model. There was complete inhibition of spontaneous contractions in obstructed rats at doses corresponding to approximately 50% inhibition of the neurogenic contractions. While tolterodine caused a dose-dependent inhibition of contractions in the neurogenic model, it was ineffective at inhibiting non-voiding contractions in obstructed rats. CONCLUSIONS:All KCOs tested caused significant decreases in arterial pressure at doses effective on the bladder in the model of obstructive instability, suggesting a lack of bladder-vascular selectivity. Similar KCO potency in both assays suggests no appreciable changes in KATP channel function as a result of partial outlet obstruction.
