The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of the peptidoleukotriene receptor antagonist, SK&F 104353, on the responses to endotoxin in conscious male Sprague-Dawley rats. Administration of Salmonella enteritidis endotoxin (30 mg/kg i.v.; LD90) resulted in a decrease in the number of circulating platelets, leukopenia, an increase in hematocrit, and 0% survival at 24 hr. Pretreatment with SK&F 104353 (1 mg/kg, i.v. bolus followed by 3 mg/kg/hr, i.v. infusion for 6 hr) 5 min before injection of endotoxin produced steady state plasma drug levels of 1.6 micrograms/ml in naive animals and levels of approximately 3.4 micrograms/ml in endotoxemic animals (P less than 0.05). SK&F 104353 significantly attenuated the endotoxin-induced thrombocytopenia (P less than 0.05) but had no effect on either the endotoxin-induced early leukopenia or late leukocytosis. Additionally, SK&F 104353 significantly reduced the endotoxin-induced hemoconcentration (P less than 0.05) and improved survival to 30% at 48 hr (P less than 0.05). A higher dose of SK&F 104353 (2 mg/kg, i.v. bolus followed by 10 mg/kg/hr, i.v. infusion for 6 hr) did not produce any further benefit. These data indicate clearly the pathophysiologic role of peptidoleukotrienes in endotoxemia and suggest SK&F 104353 could be useful for ameliorating some of the deleterious sequelae associated with this condition.
