The β3 -adrenoceptor agonist mirabegron increases human atrial force through β1 -adrenoceptors: an indirect mechanism?
2017
Background and Purpose Mirabegron has been classified as a β3-adrenoceptor agonist approved for overactive bladder syndrome. We investigated possible cardiac effects of mirabegron in the absence or presence of β-adrenoceptor subtype antagonists. In view of its phenylethanolamine structure, we investigated whether mirabegron has indirect sympathomimetic activity by using neuronal uptake blockers. Experimental Approach Right atrial trabeculae, from non-failing hearts, were paced and contractile force measured at 37°C. Single concentrations of mirabegron were added in the absence or presence of the phosphodiesterase inhibitor 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX), β3 (L-748,337), β1 (CGP 20712A),…

Effects of the Phosphodiesterase Inhibitor Enoximone on the Autonomic Innervation of the Isolated Heart
1989
Enoximone is a selective inhibitor of a low Km, cyclic AMP-specific type of phosphodiesterase (PDE III). In guinea pig and chicken atria, enoximone (0.1-100 mumol/L) caused a weak increase in the force of contraction. The heart rate was slightly enhanced or was unchanged (chicken). Enoximone (30 mumol/L) also failed to shift the concentration-response curves for the positive inotropic and chronotropic effects of norepinephrine in guinea pig atria. Under almost the same conditions, enoximone and the nonselective PDE inhibitor 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX) markedly potentiated the forskolin-induced mobilization of choline from phospholipids. The concentrations of IBMX (100 mumol/L) and o…
A negative inotropic effect of acetylcholine in the presence of several phosphodiesterase inhibitors.
1981
The phosphodiesterase inhibitors papaverine, theophylline and 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX) reveal a negative inotropic effect of acetylcholine in cat ventricular heart muscle. This effect in unrelated to beta-adrenoceptor stimulation and possibly mediated by the accumulation of cyclic GMP.
Benzimidazolones and renzapride facilitate acetylcholine release from guinea-pig myenteric plexus via 5-HT4 receptors
1995
The effects of the 5-HT4 receptor agonists BIMU 8, BIMU 1, renzapride and of the 5-HT1p receptor agonist 5-hydroxyindalpine on basal and electrically evoked outflow of tritium were studied in guinea-pig longitudinal muscle myenteric plexus preparations preincubated with [3H]choline. Muscle contractions were recorded simultaneously. BIMU 8 caused a calcium dependent and tetrodotoxin sensitive increase in basal [3H]outflow that was assumed to represent release of [3H]acetylcholine. In addition, BIMU 8 enhanced the release of [3H]acetylcholine and twitch contractions evoked by submaximal electrical stimulation. Ondansetron (1 μmol/l) did not change the effects of BIMU 8, but DAU 6285 and tropi…
Inhibitory effects of indicaxanthin on mouse ileal contractility: analysis of the mechanism of action.
2011
Recently, we have showed that indicaxanthin, the yellow betalain pigment abundant in the fruit of Opuntia ficus indica, has remarkable spasmolytic effects on the intestinal contractility in vitro. Thus, the purpose of the present study was to investigate the mechanism of action underlying the observed response. We used organ bath technique to record the mechanical activity of the mouse ileum longitudinal muscle and ELISA to measure the levels of cAMP. Indicaxanthin induced inhibitory effects on spontaneous mechanical activity, which were unaffected by indomethacin, a non-selective inhibitor of cycloxygenase; 1H-[1,2,4]oxadiazolo[4,3-a]quinoxalin-1-one, a selective inhibitor of nitric oxide-…
Phosphodiesterase inhibitors suppress alpha2-adrenoceptor-mediated 5-hydroxytryptamine release from tracheae of newborn rabbits.
1998
The outflow of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) from isolated tracheae of newborn rabbits was determined by high pressure liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection. This 5-HT outflow reflects release from neuroendocrine epithelial cells of the airway mucosa, as previously shown. Phenylephrine, via alpha2B-adrenoceptors, caused a transient increase in 5-HT outflow, maximally by about 250%, an effect mediated by liberation of intracellular Ca2+, as previously shown. The non-selective phosphodiesterase inhibitor 2-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX) concentration-dependently inhibited phenylephrine-induced 5-HT release (completely at 100 microM, IC50: 1.3 microM). Likewise, benzafentrine (in…
Signal transduction in isolated fat body from the cockroach Blaptica dubia exposed to hypertrehalosaemic neuropeptide
1998
Hypertrehalosaemic hormones stimulate trehalogenesis while inhibiting glycolysis in cockroach fat body. Signal transduction of the hypertrehalosaemic peptide Bld HrTH was examined in isolated fat body of the Argentine cockroach Blaptica dubia with respect to its effects on the increase in trehalose production and decrease in the content of the glycolytic activator fructose 2,6-bisphosphate in the tissue. Cyclic AMP does not seem to be involved in these processes as the cAMP analogue cpt-cAMP and the phosphodiesterase inhibitor IBMX, which both permeate cell membranes, had no effect on either parameter. Octopamine at physiological concentrations (10−7 mol · l−1) was also ineffective, but at …
The release of choline from phospholipids mediated by beta-adrenoceptor activation in isolated hearts.
1986
The resting efflux of choline into the perfusate (Tyrode's solution) of isolated hearts was equal to the rate, at which choline was liberated from phospholipid degradation (Lindmar et al. 1986). Infusion of isoprenaline (2 X 10(-7) mol/l), forskolin (1-3 X 10(-6) mol/l) or 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX; 3 X 10(-4) mol/l) for 40 min markedly enhanced the efflux of choline. The increase was linear during the experimental period and, in the case of isoprenaline, was blocked by 3 X 10(-7) mol/l atenolol. In the guinea-pig heart, IBMX at a threshold concentration of 10(-4) mol/l shifted the concentration-response curve for the effect of forskolin on the efflux of choline to the left by one l…
Muscarinic Receptor Activation Increases Efflux of Choline from Isolated Heart and Rat Cortex in Vivo. Interactions with Forskolin and IBMX
1986
Muscarinic receptor activation modulates functions of the heart and neurotransmission in the peripheral and central nervous system. Moreover, muscarinic agonists produce changes in the metabolism of, for example, heart tissue, such as inhibition of beta-adrenoceptor-mediated cAMP accumulation, glycogenolysis and lipase activation.
