Abstract:
:The effects of antagonists of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) on the capsaicin-induced cough reflex in rats were studied. Intracisternal (i. cist.) injection of MK-801, a non-competitive antagonist of NMDA, significantly decreased the number of coughs in a dose-dependent manner. The competitive antagonists of NMDA, 2-DL-amino-5-phosphonovalerate and 2-DL-amino-7-phosphonoheptanoate, also decreased the number of coughs after i. cist. injection. The antitussive potencies of both the competitive and non-competitive antagonists were similar to that of dextromethorphan. Intraperitoneal injection of MK-801 also decreased the number of coughs in a dose-dependent manner. These data suggest that excitatory amino acid neurotransmitters and NMDA receptors may be involved in the regulation of the cough reflex.
