| Popis: | Ro 24-4736, (5-(3-[4-(2-chlorophenyl)-9-methyl-6H-thieno[3,2-f] [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a][1,4]diazepin-2-yl]-2-propynyl)phenanthri din- 6(5H)-one), has been identified as a potent, selective, p.o.-active platelet-activating factor (PAF) antagonist with a long duration of action. In vitro, Ro 24-4736 competes with [3H]PAF for its receptor site on dog platelets with an IC50 of 9.8 +/- 1.0 nM and selectively inhibits PAF-induced aggregation of guinea pig, dog and human platelets with concentration dependence. Ro 24-4736 dose-dependently inhibits in vivo bronchoconstriction (ID50 of 0.006-mg/kg p.o.) and ex vivo platelet aggregation (ID50 of 0.004 mg/kg p.o.) induced by PAF in guinea pigs. Time course studies show complete blockade of PAF-induced platelet aggregation (ex vivo) up to 8 hr after a single p.o. dose of 0.03 mg/kg as well as a long duration of action in vivo (30 hr). The in vivo PAF antagonistic activity is specific because, even at high p.o. doses (up to 10 mg/kg), Ro 24-4736 shows no inhibitory activity toward the bronchoconstrictor effects of leukotriene D4 or histamine. In comparison with other PAF antagonists evaluated in this guinea pig model, Ro 24-4736 is markedly superior in terms of p.o. potency, bioavailability and p.o. duration of action. Studies were also performed with Ro 24-4736 in additional in vivo models. When administered p.o. to sensitized guinea pigs, the drug attenuates inhaled antigen-induced airway hyper-reactivity without effect on bronchoalveolar lavage leukocyte accumulation.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) |
