Effect of ibudilast, a novel antiasthmatic agent, on anaphylactic bronchoconstriction: predominant involvement of endogenous slow reacting substance of anaphylaxis.

Abstract：

:The effect of ibudilast on anaphylactic bronchoconstriction was studied in guinea pigs sensitized actively with ovalbumin (OA). Animals were treated with indomethacin, tripelennamine and propranolol prior to the antigen challenge. Anaphylactic bronchoconstriction was prevented by ibudilast (1-4 mg/kg i.v. and 5-20 mg/kg p.o.) dose-dependently. FPL55712 and phenidone were also effective. Even when administered at the maximum development of bronchoconstriction, ibudilast (0.5 and 2 mg/kg i.v.) and FPL 55712 caused significant reduction of the increased airway tone, while phenidone did not. Ibudilast (1-4 mg/kg i.v.) and FPL55712 inhibited leukotriene D4-induced airway responses in nonsensitized guinea pigs pretreated with indomethacin and propranolol. Ibudilast (1.6 and 4 mg/kg i.v.) inhibited platelet-activating-factor (PAF)-induced airway responses in nonsensitized guinea pigs pretreated with indomethacin and propranolol, however, FPL 55712 inhibited PAF-induced airway responses only at a high dose such as 10 mg/kg i.v. Ibudilast (4 mg/kg i.v.) did not inhibit acetylcholine-induced airway response. Ibudilast showed inhibition of the release of slow-reacting substance of anaphylaxis (SRS-A) from guinea pig chopped lung sensitized with OA, which was significantly diminished by indomethacin. The drug little affected the activity of phospholipase A2 and 5-lipoxygenase in guinea pig polymorphonuclear leukocytes. These results indicate that ibudilast inhibits anaphylactic bronchoconstriction which is considered to be largely mediated by endogenously released SRS-A. The inhibitory effect of ibudilast on anaphylactic bronchoconstriction in the presence of indomethacin is considered to be exerted through its antagonism to SRS-A.
