Inhibition by morphine of prostaglandin E1-stimulated secretion and cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate formation in the rat jejunum in vivo. 1980

E Beubler, and F Lembeck

1 The effects were studied of prostaglandin E1 (PGE1), theophylline and morphine on net water flux and mucosal cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cyclic AMP) levels in the jejunum of anaesthetized rats in vivo. 2 Infusion of PGE1 (3.2 micrograms/min, i.a.) caused a reversal from net water absorption to net secretion and enhanced the mucosal cyclic AMP content by 54%. 3 Theophylline (5 mg/ml, intraluminal) similarly produced a reversal from net water absorption to net secretion and increased mucosal cyclic AMP content by 54%. Additional intra-arterial infusion of PGE1 resulted in a massive increase in net water secretion and an increase in mucosal cyclic AMP content by about 200%. 4 Pretreatment with morphine (10 mg/kg, s.c.) reduced the effect of PGE1 on net water flux and completely inhibited its effect on the mucosal cyclic AMP content. Naloxone (10 mg/kg, s.c.) abolished both effects of morphine. 5 A good correlation (r = 0.99) was demonstrated between mucosal cyclic AMP levels and net water flux. 6 The present results demonstrate that PGE1 stimulates intestinal fluid secretion by increasing mucosal cyclic AMP levels. The antidiarrhoeal effect of morphine can be explained by its inhibition of the PGE-mediated increase in cyclic AMP levels, which, in turn, leads to a reduction in intestinal secretion.
