Abstract:
:The aim of this study was to compare the effect of antimuscarinic antagonists on carbachol-induced contraction of normal human bladder and detrusor overactivity associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (DO/BPH). Samples of human bladder muscle were obtained from patients undergoing total cystectomy for bladder cancer (normal bladder), and those undergoing retropubic prostatectomy for BPH. All of the patients with DO/BPH had detrusor overactivity according to urodynamic studies. Detrusor muscle strips were mounted in 10-ml organ baths containing Krebs solution, and concentration-response curves for carbachol were obtained in the presence of antimuscarinic antagonists (4-DAMP, methoctramine, pirenzepine, tolterodine, solifenacin, trospium, propiverine, oxybutynin, and imidafenacin) or vehicle. All antagonists competitively antagonized concentration-response curves to carbachol with high affinities in normal bladder. The rank order of mean pA2 values was as follows: trospium (10.1) > 4-DAMP (9.87), imidafenacin (9.3) > solifenacin (8.8) > tolterodine (8.6) > oxybutynin (8.3) > propiverine (7.7) > pirenzepine (7.4) > methoctramine (6.6). The effects of these antimuscarinic antagonists did not change when tested with DO/BPH bladder, suggesting that each antimuscarinic antagonist has a similar effect in this condition. Schild plots showed a slope corresponding to unity, except for propiverine with DO/BPH detrusor. In conclusion, M3-receptors mainly mediate contractions in human bladder strips with normal state and DO/BPH.
