1. The effect of pyridoxalphosphate-6-azophenyl-2',4'-disulphonic acid (PPADS) on the relaxant response to adenine nucleotides was examined in the carbachol-contracted guinea-pig taenia coli and rat duodenum, two tissues possessing P2y-purinoceptors. In addition, in the taenia coli PPADS was investigated for its effect on relaxations evoked by adenosine, noradrenaline and electrical field stimulation. In order to assess the selectivity of PPADS between P2-purinoceptor blockade and ectonucleotidase activity, its influence on ATP degradation was studied in guinea-pig taenia coli. 2. The resulting rank order of potency for the adenine nucleotides in guinea-pig taenia coli was: 2-methylthio ATP >> ATP > alpha,beta-methylene ATP with the respective pD2-values 7.96 +/- 0.08 (n = 23), 6.27 +/- 0.12 (n = 21) and 5.88 +/- 0.04 (n = 24). 3. In guinea-pig taenia coli, PPADS (10-100 microM) caused a consistent dextral shift of the concentration-response curve (CRC) of 2-methylthio ATP and ATP resulting in a biphasic Schild plot. A substantial shift was only observed at 100 microM PPADS, the respective pA2-values at this particular concentration were 5.26 +/- 0.16 (n = 5) and 5.15 +/- 0.13 (n = 6). Lower concentrations of PPADS (3-30 microM) antagonized the relaxant effects to alpha,beta-methylene ATP in a surmountable manner. An extensive shift of the CRC was produced only by 30 microM PPADS (pA2 = 5.97 +/- 0.08, n = 6), and the Schild plot was again biphasic. 4. The relaxant responses to electrical field stimulation (80 V, 0.3 ms, 5 s, 0.5-16 Hz) in guinea-pigtaenia coli were concentration-dependently inhibited by PPADS (10-100 microM).5. In guinea-pig taenia coli, the potency of ATP in inducing relaxation appeared to be independent of its rate of degradation by ecto-nucleotidases, since the Km-value (366 microM) obtained in the enzyme assay was much higher than the functional EC50-value (0.45 microM) of ATP. PPADS (3-100 microM) was only weakly active in inhibiting ecto-nucleotidase activity leaving a residual activity of 81.8 +/- 5.1% at 100 microM.Enzyme inhibition by PPADS was concentration-independent and non-competitive.6. In rat duodenum, the rank order of potency was: 2-methylthio ATP >ATP> >alpha,beta-methylene ATP,the respective pD2-values being 6.98 +/- 0.04 (n = 76), 6.26 +/- 0.02 (n = 6) and 4.83 +/- 0.02 (n = 6). Among these agonists, 2-methylthio ATP displayed the lowest apparent efficacy.7. The CRC of 2-methylthio ATP in rat duodenum was shifted to the right by PPADS (10-100 microM) ina concentration-dependent manner, and Schild analysis gave a pA2-value of 5.09 +/- 0.06 (slope = 1.02,n=14).8 PPADS was without any effect on the carbachol-induced contraction in guinea-pig taenia coli or rat duodenum and on the relaxation to noradrenaline or adenosine in guinea-pig taenia coli.9 In conclusion, the antagonistic properties of PPADS at the taenia coli and rat duodenum P2y-purinoceptors were different from those recently described at the P2x-subtype: inhibition of P2y-purinoceptor-mediated responses was observed at higher concentrations (3-100 microM vs. 1-10 (30) microM).Furthermore, we conclude that in addition to the classical P2y-subtype, which is largely PPADS-resistant,the guinea-pig taenia coli may be endowed with a distinct relaxation-mediating P2-purinoceptor subtype which is sensitive to PPADS.

D009638 Norepinephrine Precursor of epinephrine that is secreted by the ADRENAL MEDULLA and is a widespread central and autonomic neurotransmitter. Norepinephrine is the principal transmitter of most postganglionic sympathetic fibers, and of the diffuse projection system in the brain that arises from the LOCUS CERULEUS. It is also found in plants and is used pharmacologically as a sympathomimetic.
