Abstract:
:NK1 receptor antagonists have been shown to act centrally and to produce a broad-spectrum anti-emetic action. To determine precisely the site of this action, we microinjected GR205171, an NK1 receptor antagonist, into the left medulla oblongata in decerebrate paralyzed dogs. The right medulla was transected 2.5 mm rostral to the obex to eliminate the emetic function of that half. Fictive retching induced by vagal stimulation was still observed after each of 32 injections (0.5-5 microgram in 1-30 microliter) in the area ventrolateral to the solitary complex in six dogs. Retching was also observed for 30 min or more after all but 2 of 30 injections (0.5-1 microgram in 0.5-1 microliter) in the area dorsal to the retrofacial nucleus in 17 dogs. In contrast, retching disappeared within 5-30 min after each of 20 injections (0.5-1 microgram in 1 microliter) in the area adjacent to the semicompact part of the nucleus ambiguus (scAMB) in 15 dogs. The threshold dose for abolition of the retching response was examined in seven dogs and was about 0.1 ng in 1 microliter. The maximum velocity of salivation occurred before the onset of retching and significantly decreased after its abolition. These results suggest that the site of the anti-emetic action of NK1 receptor antagonists may lie in a limited area adjacent to the scAMB, and that neurons in the site induce prodromal signs and retching in a sequential manner.
