摘要
CP-80,633, a selective phosphodiesterase (PDE) 4 inhibitor, potently reverses histamine bronchoconstriction in anesthetized guinea pigs (ED50 10 mu g/kg) but only weakly relaxes histamine-constricted guinea pig trachea (EC50 137 mu M). Using CP-80,633 as a prototype PDE4 inhibitor, we evaluated the hypothesis that bronchodilation induced by PDE4 inhibitors is not mediated by direct relaxation of airway smooth muscle. In anesthetized guinea pigs, a bronchodilatory dose of CP-80,633 did not increase plasma catecholamines, nor did propranolol pretreatment significantly alter the ability of CP-80,633 to reverse histamine bronchoconstriction. In an isolated organ system, the activity of bronchorelaxants may be attenuated by the lack of endogenous activators of adenylyl cyclase or by decreased levels of intracellular cyclic nucleotides. Pretreatment with the beta-adrenoceptor agonist, salbutamol, or the PDE3 inhibitor imazodan did not potentiate the bronchorelaxant ability of CP-80,633. Milrinone pretreatment increased the potency of CP-80,633 to relax carbachol-constricted tracheal rings, but only at concentrations where nonspecific effects have been reported. By comparing the bronchorelaxant abilities of PDE inhibitors in tracheal rings with or without epithelium, we determined that the epithelium did not serve as a barrier to drug penetration. In conclusion, CP-80,633 is a potent bronchodilator in vivo, whose activity is neither mediated by direct airway smooth muscle relaxation nor dependent upon endogenous catecholamines.
