1The purpose of this study was to develop and validate an integrated pharmacokinetic‐pharmacodynamic model for the anti‐lipolytic effects of the adenosine A1‐receptor agonist N6‐(p‐sulphophenyl)adenosine (SPA). Tissue selectivity of SPA was investigated by quantification of haemodynamic and anti‐lipolytic effects in individual animals.2After intravenous infusion of SPA to conscious normotensive Wistar rats, arterial blood samples were drawn for determination of blood SPA concentrations, plasma non‐esterified fatty acid (NEFA) and β‐hydroxybutyrate levels. Blood pressure and heart rate were monitored continuously.3The relationship between the SPA concentrations and the NEFA lowering effect was described by the indirect suppression model. Administration of SPA at different rates and doses (60 μg kg−1in 5 min and 15 min, and 120 μg kg−1in 60 min) led to uniform pharmacodynamic parameter estimates. The averaged parameters (mean±s.e., n=19) were Emax: −80±2% (% change from baseline), EC50: 22±2 ng ml−1, and Hill factor: 2.2±0.2.4In another group, given 400 μg kg−1SPA in 15 min, pharmacodynamic parameters for both heart rate and anti‐lipolytic effect were derived within the same animal. The reduction in heart rate was directly related to blood concentration on the basis of the sigmoidal Emaxmodel. SPA inhibited lipolysis at concentrations lower than those required for an effect on heart rate. The EC50values (mean±s.e., n=6) were 131±31 ng ml−1and 20±3 ng ml−1for heart rate and NEFA lowering effect, respectively.5In conclusion, the relationship between blood SPA concentrations and anti‐lipolytic effect was adequately described by the indirect suppression model. For SPA a 6 fold difference in potency was observed between the effects on heart rate and NEFAs, indicating some degree of tissue selectivity in vivo. |
