A new NK1 receptor antagonist (CP-99,994) prevents the increase in tracheal vascular permeability produced by hypertonic saline.
    The Journal of pharmacology and experimental therapeutics, 1993, Volume: 266, Issue:1

    The increase in tracheal vascular permeability evoked by hypertonic saline depends on capsaicin-sensitive sensory nerves, which contain substance P and other neuropeptides. The present study was performed to determine whether a novel, nonpeptide, selective antagonist of the NK1 tachykinin receptor CP-99,994, [(+)-(2S-3S)-3-(2-methoxybenzylamino)-2-phenylpiperidine], can prevent the effect of substance P, capsaicin and hypertonic saline on tracheal vascular permeability. CP-99,994 was also tested against a nonpeptide inflammatory mediator, platelet-activating factor (PAF), to assess the selectivity of its action. Anesthetized F-344 rats were injected with either substance P (5 micrograms/kg i.v.), capsaicin (100 micrograms/kg i.v.) or PAF (10 micrograms/kg i.v.), or were exposed to ultrasonically nebulized 3.6% NaCl. In each group, some of the rats were pretreated with CP-99,994 (1 to 4 mg/kg i.v.), and some with its vehicle (0.9% NaCl). Groups of rats injected with substance P or exposed to hypertonic saline were pretreated with the (2R, 3R)-enantiomer CP-100,263, [(-)-(2R-3R)-3-(2-methoxybenzylamino)-2-phenylpiperidine] (2 or 4 mg/kg i.v.). The magnitude of the increase in tracheal vascular permeability was measured by quantifying the extravasation of Evans blue dye. CP-99,994 prevented the increase in tracheal vascular permeability produced by inhalation of hypertonic saline, by substance P and by capsaicin, but did not prevent the effect of PAF. CP-100,263 did not affect substance P- and hypertonic saline-induced increase in vascular permeability. These results indicate that the NK1 receptor antagonist CP-99,994 produces stereoselective inhibition of neurogenic plasma extravasation evoked by inhalation of hypertonic saline.
