Comparative effects of nonpeptide tachykinin receptor antagonists on experimental gut inflammation in rats and guinea-pigs.
    Life sciences, 1998, Volume: 63, Issue:4

    Previous studies have shown tachykinins implicated in gut inflammation. The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of treatments with tachykinin NK1, NK2, and NK3 selective receptor antagonists on the development of gut inflammation induced by trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid (TNBS) in rats and guinea-pigs. On day 0, rats and guinea-pigs received an intraluminal instillation of TNBS/ethanol (40 mg/kg). Each group was daily treated with intraperitoneally injected NK1 (SR 140333; 0.3 mg/kg/day), NK2 (SR 48968; 5 mg/kg/day), or NK3 (SR 142801; 1, 5, or 10 mg/kg/day) receptor antagonists or their vehicle. On day 4, inflammatory levels were evaluated by measuring gut permeability, myeloperoxidase activity, macro- and microscopic damage scores. In TNBS treated rats, daily administration of SR 140333 (0.3 mg/kg/day) and SR 48968 (5 mg/kg/day) reduced colonic inflammation. In TNBS treated guinea-pigs, daily administration of SR 48968 (5 mg/kg/day) and SR 142801 (at 5 and 10 mg/kg/day) attenuated significantly ileal injury. These results suggest that non-peptide tachykinin receptor antagonists are potent anti-inflammatory agents on gut inflammation in rats and guinea-pigs. However, their activity depends upon the animal species and type of receptor considered.
