Abstract

Using the canine chronic cerebral vasospasm model, we studied the effects of a potent new nonpeptidic endothelin-1 (ET1) receptor antagonist, bosentan (Ro 47-0203, 4-tert-butyl-N-[6-(2-hydroxy-ethoxy)-5-(2-methoxy-phenoxy)-2,2'-bipyr imidin-4 - yl]-benzenesulfonamide). Endothelin (ET) receptors are composed of the ETA receptors and the ETB receptors; ET1 acts on both of these receptors. Although it has been previously thought that the ETA receptor mediates vasoconstriction, whereas the ETB receptor mediates vasodilation, recent evidence suggests that ETB receptor also contributes to vasoconstriction. Because bosentan is a mixed antagonist that acts on both receptors, its use might indicate whether or not ET is involved in the pathogenesis of cerebral vasospasm. In this study, beagle dogs received a double injection of autologous arterial blood into the cisterna magna at 2-day intervals (i.e., on Days 0 and 2). The diameter of the basilar artery (BA) was angiographically examined up to Day 7. A total of 24 dogs were randomly allocated to either the treatment group or the no-treatment group. Eight dogs were treated with 10 mg/kg bosentan by a one-dose injection into a central venous catheter. Bosentan was given twice a day starti...Continue Reading

Atopic Dermatitis

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory genetically determined disease of the skin marked by increased ability to form reagin (IgE), with increased susceptibility to allergic rhinitis and asthma, and hereditary disposition to a lowered threshold for pruritus.
