    Notes: Summary The biological effects of 1-Sarcosine, 8-Threonine angiotensin II ([Sar1, Thr8]ANG II) on blood pressure, plasma aldosterone concentration (PAC) and plasma renin activity (PRA) were investigated in six normal subjects on an unrestricted diet, and compared with those of 1-Sarcosine, 8-Isoleucine ANG II ([Sar1, Ile8]ANG II) and 1-Sarcosine, 8-Alanine ANG II ([Sar1, Ala8]ANG II). All three ANG II analogues (A II A) showed agonistic pressor activity, that of [Sar1, Ile8]ANG II being greater than that of [Sar1, Thr8]ANG II or [Sar1, Ala8]ANG II. The antagonistic effect of [Sar1, Thr8]ANG II on blood pressure was less than [Sar1, Ile8]ANG II or [Sar1, Ala8]ANG II. Both [Sar1, Ile8]ANG II and [Sar1, Ala8]ANG II increased PAC and blocked the steroidogenic action of ANG II, while [Sar1, Thr8]ANG II showed little effect on PAC. All three A II A caused similar suppression of PRA and showed no inhibitory effect on the decrease in PRA produced by ANG II. These results indicate that [Sar1, Thr8] ANG II is an A II A with weak agonistic pressor action and that it has vascular selective properties. It is also suggested that ANG II receptors in a variety of target organs are heterogeneous.

    Notes: Abstract We investigated the effect of orally administered trimebutine maleate on gastric and gallbladder emptying and on the release of gut peptide, pancreatic polypeptide (PP), and gastrin in humans for 120 min after ingestion of a solid meal. Gastric emptying was measured by a radionuclide technique. Gallbladder emptying was estimated by real-time ultrasonography. The oral administration of 200 mg of trimebutine maleate significantly shortened the lag time in starting gastric emptying (P〈0.05). Considering gallbladder emptying, trimebutine significantly inhibited the fasting emptying induced by neural reflex. Postprandially, there was a tendency toward an accelerated gallbladder emptying in the early phase. Neither the maximal percentage of gallbladder emptying nor the time of peak gallbladder emptying were affected. Trimebutine significantly blunted the postprandial PP response in the cephalic and gastric phases, reflecting a vagal-cholinergic activity (P〈0.05). The PP response in the intestinal phase was also blunted. Gastrin release was significantly augmented only during the period of fasting after drug administration (P〈0.05). The major effect of trimebutine maleate appears to be a shortening of the lag time at the start of gastric emptying probably via its anticholinergic activity.
