The action of d-psuedoephedrine on bronchial smooth muscle, respiratory resistance and blood pressure was compared with that of 1-ephedrine. The following results were obtained. 1) Administration of dl-isoproterenol on isolated guinea pig tracheal muscle previously constricted with acetylcholine (ACh) or histamine (his) was the most effective and d-pseudoephedrine had the same effect as 1-ephedrine. The relaxing effect of dl-isoproterenol, 1-ephedrine or d-pseudoephedrine on ACh or His induced tracheal constriction was competitively antagonized by the pretreatment of propranolol. 2) The intravenous or sublingual administration of d-pseudoephedrine on the increased respiratory resistance induced by His produced the same effect as 1-ephedrine. 3) The increase in blood pressure with d-pseudoephedrine was weaker than that of 1-ephedrine. 4) When 1-ephedrine of d-pseudoephedrine was repeatedly injected into the same animal, signs of tachyphylaxis were observed. It was found that d-pseudoephedrine, the main alkaloid of Ephedrine Helba, exhibited the relaxing effect on bronchial smooth muscles as did 1-ephedrine. The respiratory resistance increased by His was inhibited by the sublingual administration of d-pseudoephedrine and 1-ephedrine.

D009119 Muscle Contraction A process leading to shortening and/or development of tension in muscle tissue. Muscle contraction occurs by a sliding filament mechanism whereby actin filaments slide inward among the myosin filaments.

D009130 Muscle, Smooth Unstriated and unstriped muscle, one of the muscles of the internal organs, blood vessels, hair follicles, etc. Contractile elements are elongated, usually spindle-shaped cells with centrally located nuclei. Smooth muscle fibers are bound together into sheets or bundles by reticular fibers and frequently elastic nets are also abundant.

D004809 Ephedrine A phenethylamine found in EPHEDRA SINICA. PSEUDOEPHEDRINE is an isomer. It is an alpha- and beta-adrenergic agonist that may also enhance release of norepinephrine. It has been used for asthma, heart failure, rhinitis, and urinary incontinence, and for its central nervous system stimulatory effects in the treatment of narcolepsy and depression. It has become less extensively used with the advent of more selective agonists.
