Interference of the PAF receptor antagonist, PCA 4248, with the rat pleurisy evoked by inflammatory mediators or allergen.

Abstract:

:This study investigated the effect of the platelet-activating factor (PAF) receptor antagonist, PCA 4248, on the rat pleurisy caused by PAF, serotonin, bradykinin, histamine or allergen. The pleurisy was assessed by measuring liquid extravasation and leucocyte infiltration. Oral pretreatment with PCA 4248 (2.5-20 mg/kg) completely inhibited the pleural exudation caused by intrathoracic (i.t.) injection of PAF (1 microgram/cavity) (ED50 = 6.1 mg/kg), partially (42% reduction) the one induced by serotonin (100 micrograms/cavity), but was inactive against histamine (200 micrograms/cavity) or bradykinin (50 micrograms/cavity). PCA 4248 blocked the increase in the number of neutrophils, eosinophils and mononuclear cells observed 6 h after the i.t. injection of PAF, as well as the selective eosinophil accumulation noted 24 h later. In actively sensitized rats, PCA 4248 (20 mg/kg) failed to modify the increase in the total leucocyte counts noted 4 h after ovalbumin (12 micrograms/cavity), but dose dependently inhibited the pleural exudation observed within 1 h and the late eosinophil infiltration noted 24 h post-antigen. These observations led us to suggest that PCA 4248 is a potent PAF antagonist with anti-serotoninergic properties. Its interference with exudation and eosinophil infiltration caused by allergen is consistent with the interpretation that PCA 4248 may be useful in the management of allergic dysfunctions.
