Chemoreceptor responses to substance P, physalaemin and eledoisin: Evidence for neurokinin-1 receptors in the cat carotid body

Substance P (SP) belongs to a group of peptides called tachykinins. Biological effects of SP are mediated by tachykinin receptors that have been classified as neurokinin-1 (NK-1), NK-2 and NK-3 subtypes. The aim of the present study is to elucidate the tachykinin receptor subtype(s) that mediate the excitatory effects of SP in the carotid body. For this purpose, we compared the carotid body responses elicited by SP with that of physalaemin and eledoisin. In other tissues, physalaemin exhibits equi or greater potency at NK-1 receptors and eledoisin exerts its effects more on NK-2 and NK-3 subtypes compared to SP. Experiments were performed on eight cats that were anaesthetized, paralyzed and artificially ventilated with room air. Close carotid body administration of SP and physalaemin produced dose-dependent augmentation of the chemoreceptor afferent activity. Chemoreceptor discharge, however, was unaffected by eledoisin. Compared to that by SP, the magnitude of excitation produced by physalaemin was the same at lower doses but significantly greater with the highest dose (100 nmol). The time course of the response induced by physalaemin, however, was the same as that by SP. The present results demonstrate that in the carotid body physalaemin is also either equi or relatively more potent than SP, whereas eledoisin has no effect on the chemoreceptor discharge. It is suggested that stimulation of the carotid body by SP is mediated by NK-1 but not NK-2 or NK-3 receptors.

Investigation of nimodipine pharmacokinetics in Chinese patients with acute subarachnoid haemorrhage

Summary Nimodipine pharmacokinetics was investigated in 12 Chinese patients with acute subarachnoid haemorrhage receiving an IV infusion of 1.6 or 2 mg/h (based on estimated body weight) for 10 days. Peripheral venous blood samples were collected for up to 4 days and plasma nimodipine was assayed by GC/ECD. The mean value was taken as the steady state concentration (C_ss) and Clearance (CL) (hourly dose/C_ss) was calculated. Eight survivors were given oral nimodipine (60 or 90 mg) every 6h (based on body weight), blood was sampled over 6 h and the plasma nimodipine level determined. The values for C_ss, CL and CL·kg^–1 were 33.5 g·l^–1, 58 l·h^–1 and 1.0 l·h^–1·kg^–1 respectively; in survivors receiving the drug orally, bioavailability of the 30 mg tablet was 9%. In one very sick patient given crushed tablets by naso-gastric tube, the AUC was very low; in vitro studies indicated that adsorption of nimodipine by the tubing was unlikely to have been the cause.The pharmacokinetic findings in Chinese patients are comparable to previously reported values in Caucasians.
