    Abstract:
    The therapeutic utility of KATP channel opening agents (KCOs) in the treatment of overactive bladder may be limited by hypotension as a result of insufficient selectivity in vivo for bladder versus vasculature smooth muscle. Recently, we demonstrated that the putative uroselective KCOs, A-278637, ZD-6169, and WAY-133537 suppress unstable bladder contraction in an in vivo pre-clinical pig model of detrusor instability secondary to partial outlet obstruction. In the present study in the anesthetized dog we targeted plasma concentrations 3-, 10-, and 30-fold above a common index of in vivo efficacy (EC35) for suppression of unstable bladder contraction in pigs, to provide a comprehensive cardiovascular profile of these compounds. When compared at similar multiples of efficacy, dose-dependent reductions in SVR were greater in ZD-6169 and WAY-133537-treated animals versus A-278637. A-278637, unlike ZD-6169 or WAY-133537, produced no effect on MAP at concentrations 10-fold above the EC35. At concentrations 30-fold above the EC35, MAP in A-278637-treated animals was reduced -11% from baseline versus -24% and -42% for ZD-6169 and WAY-133537. Accordingly, at plasma concentrations approximately 30-fold above the EC35 reflex-mediated increases in HR were modest for A-278637-treated animals (15% above baseline) versus ZD-6169 (22%) or WAY-133537 (35%). Increases in both dP/dt and cardiac output occurred at lower therapeutic multiples and were greater in magnitude for animals treated with WAY-133537 (66% and 64% above baseline, respectively, 60 minutes into compound infusion) and ZD-6169 (10% and 13%) versus A-278637 (-2% and 6%). Thus, A-278637 exerted lesser effects on cardiovascular function at equivalent multiples of the EC35 than either ZD-6169 or WAY-133537. These data suggest that A-278637 possesses a greater functional selectivity for urinary bladder versus vascular smooth muscle in vivo and that A-278637 may exhibit a more favorable therapeutic index than either ZD-6169 or WAY-133537.
