Inhibitory effects of a novel PAF antagonist E6123 on anaphylactic responses in passively and actively sensitized guinea pigs and passively sensitized mice.
    Prostaglandins, 1991, Volume: 42, Issue:6

    The effects of the platelet-activating factor (PAF) antagonist, E6123, on anaphylactic responses in guinea pigs and mice were investigated. E6123 inhibited i.v. antigen (Ag)- or inhaled Ag-induced bronchoconstriction in passively and actively sensitized guinea pigs after oral administration at 3 and 10 micrograms/kg, respectively. E6123 inhibited Ag inhalation-induced airway hyperreactivity in guinea pigs after oral administration at 30 micrograms/kg. E6123 protected mice from anaphylactic death with an ED50 value (p.o.) of 7 micrograms/kg. The inhibitory effects of E6123 described above were very potent compared to those of the PAF-antagonists WEB2347 and Y-24180. The present results suggest that E6123 may be beneficial for the treatment of asthma, a condition in which PAF is assumed to be involved.
