Effects of salbutamol and isoxsuprine on uterine and umbilical blood flow in pregnant sheep. 1977

R A Ehrenkranz, and L A Hamilton, and S C Brennan, and G K Oakes, and A M Walker, and R A Chez

The effects of salbutamol and isoxsuprine upon uterine artery blood flow (UtBF) and umbilical vein blood flow (UmBF) were investigated in near-term, nonlaboring chronic sheep preparations. During both intravenous salbutamol and isoxsuprine infusions to the ewe, UtBF and mean maternal arterial pressure decreased significantly. Also, dose-related maternal tachycardia, hyperglycemia, and relative acidemia occurred. There were no significant changes in UmBF, mean fetal arterial pressure, or fetal heart rate (FHR) during salbutamol infusions, but UmBF and FHR increased during isoxsuprine infusions. During the 120 minute postinfusion recovery period, UtBF rose significantly after the salbutamol infusions but not after the isoxsupine infusions. The effects and structure-activity relationship of these two drugs are comparable to those of ritodrine and fenoterol, two other beta-adrenergic agonists.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007556 Isoxsuprine A beta-adrenergic agonist that causes direct relaxation of uterine and vascular smooth muscle. Its vasodilating actions are greater on the arteries supplying skeletal muscle than on those supplying skin. It is used in the treatment of peripheral vascular disease and in premature labor.
