Effects of TAK-637, a tachykinin receptor antagonist, on the micturition reflex in guinea pigs.
    European journal of pharmacology, 2000, May-03, Volume: 395, Issue:3

    The effects of a new tachykinin NK(1) receptor antagonist, (aR, 9R)-7-[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzyl]-8,9,10, 11-tetrahydro-9-methyl-5-(4-methylphenyl)-7H-[1,4]diazocino[2,1-g] [1, 7]naphthyridine-6,13-dione (TAK-637), on the micturition reflex were compared with those of drugs used for abnormally frequent micturition or incontinence. TAK-637 showed a characteristic effect on the distension-induced rhythmic bladder contractions in guinea pigs. The systemic administration of TAK-637 decreased the number but not the amplitude of the distension-induced rhythmic bladder contractions. A similar effect was observed in animals in which the spinal cord had been severed. TAK-637 also inhibited the micturition reflex induced by topical application of capsaicin onto the surface of bladder dome. From these results, it is concluded that TAK-637 inhibits sensory transmissions from the bladder evoked by both physiological and nociceptive stimuli by blocking tachykinin NK(1) receptors, possibly at the level of the spinal cord. On the other hand, the other drugs such as oxybutynin, tolterodine, propiverine, and inaperisone showed no effects on the frequency of the distension-induced rhythmic bladder contractions but decreased the contraction amplitude. Therefore, TAK-637 may represent a new class of drugs, which would be effective for abnormally frequent micturition without causing voiding difficulties due to decreased voiding pressure.

Possible site of action of TAK-637, a tachykinin NK(1) receptor antagonist, on the micturition reflex in guinea pigs.
    European journal of pharmacology, 2000, Aug-04, Volume: 401, Issue:2

    TAK-637((aR,9R)-7-[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzyl]-8,9,10, 11-tetrahydro-9-methyl-5-(4-methylphenyl)-7H-[1,4]diazocino[2,1-g] [1,7]naphthyridine-6,13-dione) is a novel tachykinin NK(1) receptor antagonist that has been shown to inhibit the micturition reflex in guinea pigs. The aim of this study was to clarify its mechanism of action in guinea pigs. TAK-637 inhibited the spinal vesico-vesical reflex induced by electrical stimulation of the proximal cut end of the pelvic nerve in spinal animals, but not bladder contractions induced by electrical stimulation of the distal cut end of the nerve. Furthermore, TAK-637 had no effect on carbachol- or electrical field stimulation-induced contractions of isolated bladder muscle strips in an organ bath, whereas drugs used for abnormally frequent micturition inhibited both contractions. These results suggest that TAK-637 inhibits the micturition reflex by acting, at least in part, on the spinal cord, and its mechanism of action clearly differs from those of antimuscarinics or spasmolytics.
