Agonist and antagonist effects of the putative P2Y1 receptor antagonist adenosine 3'-phosphate 5'-phosphosulphate (PAPS) were studied in intact tissues. In the carbachol-precontracted guinea-pig taenia coli, PAPS caused prominent relaxation (EC50 3.3 microM). The response was attenuated by the P2 receptor antagonists 4,4'-diisothiocyanatostilbene-2,2'-disulphonate (DIDS) and reactive red 2 with apparent Kd values (0.27 and 0.29 microM) indicating that PAPS acts through the non-P2Y receptor, which is the site of action of alpha,beta-methylene ATP (alpha,beta-MeATP) in the taenia coli. Incubation with PAPS (10-100 microM) attenuated the P2Y receptor-mediated relaxation caused by 5'-O-(2-thiodiphosphate) (ADPbetaS); PAPS (100 microM) also attenuated the relaxation caused by alpha,beta-MeATP, as well as the alpha1-adrenoceptor-mediated response to noradrenaline. In the noradrenaline-precontracted rat aorta, PAPS caused minor relaxation (EC50 24.7 microM), which was reduced by the P2 receptor antagonist pyridoxal-phosphate-6-azophenyl-2',5'-disulphonate (iso-PPADS; 1 microM), indicating that PAPS activates endothelial P2Y receptors. Incubation with PAPS (10 and 100 microM) attenuated the P2Y receptor-mediated relaxation caused by ADPbetaS; PAPS (100 microM) also attenuated the P2U receptor-mediated relaxation caused by UTP and the muscarine receptor-mediated response to acetylcholine. In rat vas deferens, PAPS (100 microM) attenuated the P2X receptor-mediated contraction elicited by alpha,beta-MeATP but did not alter the alpha1-adrenoceptor-mediated response to noradrenaline. The results indicate that PAPS attenuates P2Y receptor-mediated relaxation in intact tissues. However, due to its limited subtype selectivity and non-P2 receptor effects, the nucleotide is not a suitable antagonist for this subtype.
