    Notizen: Abstract: The characteristics of binding sites in rat cerebral cortical synaptic membranes labeled by 125I-ifenprodil, a noncompetitive NMDA receptor antagonist, are described. 125I-ifenprodil was synthesized using Na125I in the presence of chloramine-T and purified by paper chromatography. Binding of the 125I-ligand was optimal at pH 7.7 in 5 mM Tris · HCl buffer. Equilibrium binding of 125I-ifenprodil was displaced by spermine (1 mM) but not by ifenprodil or its analogue, SL 82.0715 (both 16.7 μM). Zn2+, Ca2+, and Mg2+ inhibited specific binding of 125I-ifenprodil in a concentration-dependent manner, with IC50 values of 0.11, 1.1, and 1.7 mM, respectively. The dissociation constant (KD) for unlabeled ifenprodil determined by saturation binding was 205 nM. Scatchard plots of saturation data appeared curvilinear but were best described by a single-binding-site model (Hill coefficient = 0.95), with a density of binding sites (Bmax) of 141 pmol/mg of protein. Binding of 125I-ifenprodil was inhibited by polyamines, with a rank potency order of spermine 〉 spermidine 〉 putrescine = 1,3-diaminopropane. The pattern of inhibition produced by spermidine was apparently competitive. Ifenprodil congeners also fully inhibited polyamine-sensitive binding of 125I-ifenprodil, with a rank potency order of ifenprodil 〉 SL 82.0715 = tibalosine 〉 nylidrin = isoxsuprine. It was found that σ/antitussive agents partially inhibited specific binding, but inclusion of the σ drug GBR 12909 had little effect on the binding of 125I-ifenprodil, suggesting this site was not involved. The binding site labeled by 125I-ifenprodil is polyamine sensitive, has a discrete pharmacological profile, and apparently is unrelated to the σ site.

    Notizen: —A surgical technique for sympathetically denervating the vas deferens has been evaluated biochemically. A slight fall in soluble muscle protein content and no significant change in DNA content of the operated vas deferens were found. This indicates that the surgical procedure causes only a slight degree of tissue damage and may be useful for investigating the cellular localization and properties of noradrenaline metabolizing enzymes. In three species examined (rat, guinea pig and rabbit), monoamine oxidase activity of the vas deferens fell by approximately 50 per cent after denervation. The time course of the fall in monoamine oxidase activity of rat vas deferens was parallel to that of the disappearance of noradrenaline suggesting that this proportion of the total enzyme activity had a neuronal localization. The remaining enzyme activity is presumably located extraneuronally.Significant falls in catechol-O-methyl transferase activity were found in rat and rabbit vas deferens after denervation but not in guinea pig. The rabbit and rat vas deferens had respectively approximately 60 and 30 per cent of the catechol-O-methyl transferase activity associated with the sympathetic nerves. A complete loss of DOPA decarboxylase and tyrosine hydroxylase activities occurred in rat vas deferens after denervation, suggesting that these noradrenaline synthesizing enzymes have an entirely neuronal localization.

    Notizen: —A study has been made of the catechol-O-methyl transferase activity of some peripheral tissues after sympathetic denervation. A fall in catechol-O-methyl transferase activity was found in some organs, e.g. rat and rabbit vas deferens, cat nictitating membrane and rabbit submaxillary gland but not in mouse heart and spleen. It was found that suboptimal concentrations of S-adenosylmethionine did not reveal a significant difference between normal and denervated organs but at optimal concentrations a fall was seen in some organs. Catechol-O-methyl transferase activity was present in bovine splenic nerve and in adrenal medulla. It is suggested that the fall in enzyme activity after denervation indicates a neuronal cellular localization. A kinetic study of catechol-O-methyl transferase from normal and denervated rat vas deferens suggested that the neuronal and extraneuronal catechol-O-methyl transferase had different kinetic properties and an estimation of the kinetic constants of the neuronal enzyme was made.

    Notizen: —Monoamine oxidase activity of peripheral organs of various species has been examined after surgical, chemical and immunological sympathectomy to assess the proportion of enzyme activity in adrenergic neurons and in extraneuronal cells. Significant falls in monoamine oxidase activity of vas deferens, submaxillary gland, iris and spleen were seen after sympathetic denervation although not in heart, small intestine and kidney. It was suggested that a correlation exists between the extent of the fall in monoamine oxidase activity after sympathectomy and the density of sympathetic innervation of the control organ. Studies of monoamine oxidase activity in vas deferens after inhibition with clorgyline suggested multiple forms of monoamine oxidase. Differences in inhibitor sensitivity, substrate specificity and thermal inactivation of monoamine oxidase in normal and denervated vas deferens were found and it was suggested that differences exist in the properties of the neuronal and extraneuronal monoamine oxidase.

    Notizen: Neuropeptide Y (NPY), one of the most abundant neuropeptides found in the central nervous system (CNS), has been implicated in the regulation of many autonomic functions, including cardiovascular control and the central stress response. The present study represents a detailed investigation of the effects of acute and chronic restraint stress on the expression of the mRNA encoding the NPY precursor, prepro-NPY, in the CNS of normotensive Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats and spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) using in situ hybridization histochemistry. Basal (unstressed) levels of prepro-NPY mRNA expression were found to be significantly increased in the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus of SHR compared to WKY rats, with similar levels of prepro-NPY mRNA expression found in the remaining central nuclei. Following exposure to both acute and chronic restraint, significant changes in prepro-NPY mRNA expression were found in a variety of central regions in both strains, including the arcuate nucleus and hippocampus (both strains), medial amygdala and cortex (WKY only), and dentate gyrus, nucleus of the solitary tract and ventrolateral medulla (SHR only). A comparison of the temporal response to restraint revealed that significant differences between strains existed in regions such as the arcuate nucleus, hippocampus and dentate gyrus, providing further evidence that hypertensive rats apparently have an impaired neural stress response. The present study demonstrates that exposure to restraint results in significant changes in prepro-NPY mRNA expression in specific nuclei of both WKY and SHR that are components of not only the central circuitry regulating the stress response, but also the neural network modulating autonomic function.

    Notizen: 〈list xml:id="l1" style="custom"〉1Isolated rat hearts accumulated 102 pmol/g wet wt/min of isoprenaline when perfused for 5 min with 0.6 μM (±)-3H-isoprenaline.2The 3-methoxy derivative of isoprenaline (‘methoxy isoprenaline’) (10 μM) significantly inhibited this uptake by 57%, metanephrine (10 μM) by 29% and normetanephrine (10 μM) by 21%.3(±)-Isoprenaline (0.6 μM) infused into isolated perfused rat hearts for 5 min activated glycogen phosphorylase 2.4-fold. Normetanephrine (10 μM) or metanephrine (10 μM) included in the perfusate significantly potentiated this activation, but 3–0-methyl isoprenaline (10 μM) significantly reduced it. However, 3–0-methyl isoprenaline potentiated the ability of 4.8 μM isoprenaline to stimulate phosphorylase.4Neither metanephrine (10 μM) nor normetanephrine (10 μM) altered peak inotropic responses to injections of (±)-isoprenaline into the solution perfusing isolated rat hearts. 3–0-methyl isoprenaline (10 μM) shifted the isoprenaline dose-response curve to the right, but did not affect the inotropic responses to CaCl2, confirming that 3–0-methyl isoprenaline possesses β-adrenoceptor antagonist activity.5Inotropic responses to isoprenaline were significantly prolonged by both 3–0-methyl isoprenaline and normetanephrine (10 μM).6These results indicate that blockade of extraneuronal accumulation of catecholamines causes potentiation of both metabolic and mechanical β-adreno-ceptor-mediated responses of the heart to isoprenaline. It is suggested that Uptake2 and the cardiac β-adrenoceptor are separate entities, and that the β-adrenoceptor is localized in the sarcolemma. The physiological function of Uptake2 may be to help clear the sympathetic synaptic gap of liberated neurotransmitter.

    Notizen: 1. Spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) are useful for investigating the possible pathophysiological and neurochemical basis of human essential hypertension.2. The accepted pathogenic mechanism of hypertension in SHR is an increased central sympathetic drive which results in an increased peripheral resistance.3. The neurochemical basis of the increased sympathetic drive is unknown. The observation that there are reduced levels of neuropeptides (vasoactive intestinal peptide, neuropeptide Y, cholecystokinin octapeptide, neurotensin and calcitonin gene related peptide) in the spinal cord in SHR rats compared with age and gender matched Wistar-Kyoto normotensive rats could provide a basis for understanding the mechanism of hypertension in SHR.

    Notizen: 1. The possibility that the anticonvulsant activity of the benzodiazepines, diazepam and clobazam, is related to changes in EEG parameters, particularly β activity, was investigated in amygdaloid kindled rats.2. The effects of diazepam (1, 2, 4, 8 and 16 μmol/kg), administered intraperitoneally (i.p.), clobazam (1, 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32 μmol/kg, i.p.) or vehicle (dimethyl sulfoxide) on the cortical EEG of amygdaloid kindled rats were quantitated for 15 min using computerized period amplitude analysis. Immediately afterwards, the amygdala was stimulated and the after-discharge duration (AD) and the seizures stage (SS) were determined.3. The equivalent percentage time (EPT) of the diazepam-treated group was decreased in the θ band (4–8 Hz) and increased in the α (8–12 Hz) and first six β (12–36 Hz) bands. The mean peak amplitude (MPA) was increased in the α (8–12 Hz) and all seven β bands (12–40 Hz). Clobazam increased the EPT and MPA in the α (8–12 Hz) and all seven β (12–40 Hz) bands. The MPA was also increased by clobazam in the θ (4–8 Hz) band.4. Diazepam reduced both the AD and SS of the kindled seizures at doses of 4, 8 and 16 μmol/kg, whereas clobazam was anticonvulsant at doses of 16 and 32 μmol/kg. The reduction in both AD and SS correlated with increases in the EPT and MPA in the first β (12–16 Hz) band in the diazepam-treated group and in the first four β (12–28 Hz) bands in the clobazam-treated group.

    Notizen: 1. The haemodynamic effects and pharmacokinetics of a single orally administered dose of 0.5 mg of prazosin have been compared in six patients with stable severe congestive cardiac failure. Administration of prazosin induced significant decreases in mean pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (from 27.5, s.e.m.=4.5 to 19.4, s.e.m.=5.1 mmHg; P〈0.001), mean arterial blood pressure (from 94.5, s.e.m.=6.0 to 85.4, s.e.m.=5.0 mmHg; P〈0.01), and systemic vascular resistance (from 1690, s.e.m.=360 to 1420, s.e.m.=200 dyn. s/cm5; P〈0.05) and a rise in cardiac index from 1.98 (s.e.m.=0.07) to 2.28 (s.e.m.=0.16) litres/min per m2 (P〈0.05). There was a non-significant fall in heart rate.2. Pharmacokinetic analysis revealed maximum plasma prazosin concentrations of 4.1 (s.e.m.=1.4) ng/ml, occurring 2.1 (s.e.m.=0.4) h after drug ingestion. The mean elimination half-life was 5.1 (s.e.m.=0.8) h, which is longer than that found in our previous studies in normal subjects. There was considerable interindividual variation in peak plasma prazosin concentrations, elimination half-life and area under the concentration-time curve. While mean maximal haemodynamic effects of prazosin occurred at similar times to the peak plasma concentration of the drug, there was no significant correlation between the extent of haemodynamic response and individual pharmacokinetic parameters.3. It is concluded that significant and potentially beneficial haemodynamic effects occur with the initial administration of 0.5 mg oral doses of prazosin in patients with stable congestive cardiac failure and it is suggested that in many patients little advantage will be achieved with higher initial doses.
