Abstract:
Summary— Neuropeptide gamma (NPγ) induced a contractile response of the human isolated bronchus which was potentiated by the neutral endopeptidase inhibitor, phosphoramidon, but was not modified by atropine and indomethacin. NPγ was 3.31-fold more potent than NKA. Contractile response curves to NPγ were shifted to the right and maximal responses reduced by the non-peptide NK2-receptor antagonist, SR 48968. The pKB of SR 48968 (8.94 ± 0.18, n = 15), calculated according to Kenakin (1987) was very close to that reported for [Nle10]-NKA (4–10), a specific agonist of neurokinin NK2-receptors (8.86 ± 0.13, n = 13), suggesting that the contractile effects of NPγ on the human isolated bronchus were mediated through NK2A-receptors.
Keywords:SR 48968 neuropeptide gamma (NPγ)    neurokinin NK2-receptor    human isolated bronchi
