fr-173657 and Cystitis

The non-peptide B2 receptor antagonist (E)-3-(6-acetamido-3-pyridyl)-N-[N-[2,4-dichloro-3-[(2-methyl-8-quinolin yl)oxymethyl]phenyl]-N-methylaminocarbonylmethyl]acrylamide (FR173657) was compared to the peptide antagonist icatibant in models of visceral and cutaneous inflammation.. Pancreatitis was induced by caerulein in anaesthetized Sprague-Dawley rats. Acute cystitis was induced by intravesical instillation of xylene or i.p. cyclophosphamide injection. Cutaneous inflammation was induced in anaesthetized guinea-pigs by s.c. injection of collagenase from Clostridium histolyticum.. FR173657 inhibited oedema formation and tissue enzyme retention during pancreatitis at 500 nmol/kg and above after peroral administration, and from 30 nmol/kg after s.c. injection; icatibant was effective at 3 nmol/kg s. c. Protein extravasation in both cystitis models was abolished by s.c. FR173657 at 300 nmol/kg. Collagenase-induced oedema was attenuated equieffectively by FR173657 and icatibant at doses of 10 micomol/kg and 300 nmol/kg s.c., respectively.. FR173657 inhibits kinin-mediated effects in visceral and cutaneous inflammation at doses that are about 10 times higher than those of icatibant. However, FR173657 is also active following oral administration.
