Abstract

Pancuronium has sympathomimetic actions but does not change or lowers systemic blood pressure in some studies of anesthetized humans and dogs. The present study was done to determine the actions and mechanisms of action of pancuronium on coronary and renal arteries other than those as a sympathomimetic agent. Helical strips of coronary and renal arteries from mongrel dogs were suspended in oxygenated, warmed Ringer-Locke solution, and changes in the isometric tension were recorded. In some strips, transmural electrical stimulation (5 Hz for 40 s) was applied to activate perivascular adrenergic nerves. Pancuronium (10[-7] to 10[-5] M) caused dose-dependent relaxation in coronary and renal arteries contracted with prostaglandin (PG) F2alpha, whereas no significant response was induced with vecuronium. The relaxation was endothelium independent and abolished by indomethacin or tranylcypromine, a PGI2 synthase inhibitor. Transmural electrical stimulation caused coronary arterial relaxation, which was augmented by pancuronium and vecuronium. Desipramine also increased the response, and additional potentiation of the response was not elicited by pancuronium and vecuronium. In renal arteries, electrical stimulation caused contraction,...Continue Reading
