Effects of FPL-55712 or indomethacin on leukotriene-induced coronary constriction in the intact pig heart. 1983

L M Boyd, and D Ezra, and G Feuerstein, and R E Goldstein

Intracoronary leukotriene D4, 0.1-3.0 micrograms (0.2-6.0 nmol), produced dose-dependent decreases in coronary flow of anesthetized pigs. Pretreatment with intracoronary FPL-55712 (0.1, 0.3 and 1.0 mg) reduced coronary constriction due to 1.0 micrograms leukotriene D4 by up to 77%. FPL-55712 did not produce sustained alterations in coronary flow, left ventricular end-diastolic pressure, systemic arterial pressure, or heart rate. Indomethacin pretreatment (6 mg/kg i.v.) had no effect on leukotriene-induced coronary constriction. Inhibition produced by FPL-55712 may be useful in disease states involving leukotriene-mediated coronary constriction.

D006439 Hemodynamics The movement and the forces involved in the movement of the blood through the CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM. Hemodynamic
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D013189 SRS-A A group of LEUKOTRIENES; (LTC4; LTD4; and LTE4) that is the major mediator of BRONCHOCONSTRICTION; HYPERSENSITIVITY; and other allergic reactions. Earlier studies described a "slow-reacting substance of ANAPHYLAXIS" released from lung by cobra venom or after anaphylactic shock. The relationship between SRS-A leukotrienes was established by UV which showed the presence of the conjugated triene. (From Merck Index, 11th ed) Slow Reacting Substance of Anaphylaxis
D013552 Swine Any of various animals that constitute the family Suidae and comprise stout-bodied, short-legged omnivorous mammals with thick skin, usually covered with coarse bristles, a rather long mobile snout, and small tail. Included are the genera Babyrousa, Phacochoerus (wart hogs), and Sus, the latter containing the domestic pig (see SUS SCROFA).

D014661 Vasoconstriction The physiological narrowing of BLOOD VESSELS by contraction of the VASCULAR SMOOTH MUSCLE. Vasoconstrictions
