Abstract
BMS182874, an endothelin receptor antagonist, blocks the effects of exogenously administered endothelins in chronically instrumented awake sheep. A possible role for endothelin in endotoxin-induced pulmonary hypertension in sheep was investigated by studying animals given intravenous endotoxin with and without pretreatment with BMS182874. BMS182874 administration alone caused a reduction in pulmonary artery pressure (P[PA]) and systemic arterial pressure (P[SA]). Endotoxin alone caused an acute, nearly threefold increase in P(PA) which was followed, from 2-5 h after endotoxin, by a sustained but less severe increase in P(PA). These changes were accompanied by a threefold increase in lung lymph flow and dramatic increases in plasma and lung lymph thromboxane B2 concentrations. Pretreatment with BMS182874 significantly attenuated the early endotoxin-induced acute increase in P(PA) and completely blocked the late sustained pulmonary hypertension (p < 0.05), while having no affect on the increases in thromboxane levels. BMS182874 shifts the dose response curve for U46619, a prostaglandin H2 analogue, to the right. BMS182874, in addition to functioning as an endothelium receptor antagonist, appears to counteract the action of thromb...Continue Reading
