Buspirone, a selective 5-HT<sub>1A</sub> receptor agonist, was not effective at low doses but produced a response at high doses. When perfusion pressure was raised with phenylephrine, responses to 5-HT were enhanced while buspirone produced dose-dependent vasodilator responses. Buspirone did not produce vasodilation when perfusion pressure was raised with vasopressin or U46619. Buspirone-induced vasodilator responses were not affected by selective 5-HT<sub>1A</sub> receptor antagonists, 8-[2-[4-(2-methoxyphenyl)-1-piperazinyl]ethyl]-8-azaspiro[4,5]-decane-7,9-dione (BMY 7378) and <em>N</em>-<em>tert</em>-butyl-3-(4-[2-methoxyphenyl]piperazin-1-yl)-2-phenylpropanamide (WAY 100478), indicating that specific 5-HT<sub>1A</sub> receptors might not be involved in buspirone-induced vasodilation. Buspirone (3×10<sup>−5</sup> M) and prazosin (3×10<sup>−9</sup> M) antagonized noradrenaline-induced constriction with dose ratios of 19.1±2.9 and 11.7±2.1, respectively. The dose ratio of these antagonists in combination was 46.6±8.1. Since the combination ratio is closer to the sum of their individual dose ratios less 2 (i.e. DR<sub>p</sub>+DR<sub>b</sub>−2) than it is to the product of their individual dose ratios, our data suggest an interaction of buspirone with α<sub>1</sub>-adrenoceptors. Buspirone also protected adrenoceptors against inactivation by phenoxybenzamine confirming that buspirone interacted with α<sub>1</sub>-adrenoceptors. We concluded that buspirone-induced vasodilation of the perfused rat uterine vascular bed is mediated through blockade of α<sub>1</sub>-adrenoceptors rather than through 5-HT<sub>1A</sub> receptors.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":12607,"journal":{"name":"General Pharmacology-the Vascular System","volume":"34 5","pages":"Pages 357-362"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S0306-3623(01)00073-8","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73633181","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While the actions of milrinone and IBMX were inhibited by the protein kinase G (PKG) inhibitor, Rp-8-Bromo guanosine-3′,5′ monophosphothioate (Rp-8-Br-cGMPS; 0.5 mM), that of amrinone was only slightly affected; whereas the protein kinase A (PKA) inhibitor, Rp-adenosine-3′,5′ cyclic monophosphothioate (Rp-cAMPS; 0.5 mM) had no effect on any agent.

We investigated the neuroprotective effects of Hwansodan water extract on the apoptotic death of PC12 cells by serum deprivation. Hwansodan significantly rescued PC12 cells from apoptotic death by serum deprivation in a dose-dependent manner. The nuclear staining of PC12 cells clearly showed that Hwansodan attenuated nuclear condensation and fragmentation, which represents typical neuronal apoptotic characteristics. Hwansodan also prevents DNA fragmentation and caspase-3-like protease activation in serum-deprived PC12 cells and induces the tyrosine phosphorylation of proteins around 44 kDa, which was identified as ERK1 with electrophoretic gel mobility shift by Western blot. In addition, MEK inhibitor PD98059 and Ras inactivator, α-hydroxyfarnesylphosphonic acid and mevastatin, attenuated the neuroprotective effects of Hwansodan in serum-deprived PC12 cells. These results indicate that Ras/MEK/ERK signaling pathway plays a role in neuroprotective effects of Hwansodan in serum-deprived PC12 cells.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":12607,"journal":{"name":"General Pharmacology-the Vascular System","volume":"34 4","pages":"Pages 227-235"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S0306-3623(00)00065-3","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91609369","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
