Zeneca ZM244085, 9-(3 cyanophenyl)hexahydro-1,8 acridinedione, is a novel dihydropyridine (DHP) which relaxes KCl precontracted urinary bladder smooth muscle in vitro. The effect of ZM244085 on low and high KCl induced contractions, 86Rb efflux and [3H]-P1075 binding in guinea pig bladder strips was investigated to characterize the K-channel opening properties of this compound. Since ZM244085 is a dihydropyridine its effect on DHP binding sites on Ca2+ channels was also investigated. ZM244085 was found to be more potent in relaxing detrusor strips precontracted with 15 mM KCl than strips precontracted with 80 mM KCl (Li et al., 1995). This functional profile of ZM244085 is similar to that exhibited by typical K-channel openers (PCO). In addition, inhibition of ZM244085 induced relaxation of detrusor strips by glibenclamide suggests that ZM244085 opens ATP sensitive K-channel (KATP) in urinary bladder (Li et al., 1995). Since the glibenclamide sensitive smooth muscle relaxation activity of ZM244085 could still be an indirect effect of this compound on KATP channels we carried out 86Rb efflux studies and [3H]-P1075 binding studies to further confirm these findings. The 86Rb efflux assay is a direct method for monitoring the movement of K+ ions across the cell membranes. Displacement of [3H]-P1075 binding to bladder membranes supports a direct action of the compound on the KATP channel. The present study demonstrates that ZM244085 in a concentration dependent manner increases the rate of 86Rb efflux from guinea pig bladder strips. This effect was inhibited by glibenclamide (30 microM), a known KATP channel blocker. In addition, interaction of ZM244085 with KATP channels was also confirmed in human bladder smooth muscle cells using a 42K efflux assay. Furthermore, we were able to demonstrate that ZM244085, structurally distinct PCO, inhibited the binding of 3H-P1075 to urinary bladder strips in a manner similar to other KATP openers such as cromakalim and pinacidil. Inhibition of 3H-P1075 binding by ZM244085 and other PCO's correlates well with increases in 86Rb efflux and bladder muscle relaxation studies. Finally, ZM244085 did not exhibit any significant affect on VSCC as evidenced by very weak inhibition of [3H]-PN200,110 binding to bladder membranes by ZM244085. It is concluded that Zeneca ZM244085 is a PCO which activates KATP channels in urinary bladder. |
