  • Title: Pharmacologic and radioligand binding analysis of the actions of 1,4-dihydropyridine activator-antagonist pairs in smooth muscle.

    Abstract:
    The actions of the enantiomers of Bay K 8644 and 202-791 were studied in rat tail artery and guinea pig ileal longitudinal smooth muscle using pharmacologic and radioligand binding assays. (-)-(S)-Bay K 8644 (below 10(-7) M in rat tail artery and 3 X 10(-7) M in guinea pig ileum) and (+)-(S)-202-791 (below 10(-6) M) induced contractions and potentiated the responses to KCl depolarization in both smooth muscle preparations. In contrast, (+)-(R)-Bay K 8644 and (-)-(R)-202-791 inhibited the responses to KCl-induced depolarization. At higher concentrations, (-)-(S)-Bay K 8644 (10(-7) to 10(-6) M) and (+)-(S)-202-791 (10(-6) to 3 X 10(-5) M) in rat tail artery, and (-)-(S)-Bay K 8644 (3 X 10(-7) to 3 X 10(-6) M) in guinea pig ileal smooth muscle relaxed the tissues contracted maximally at lower concentrations of the same drug. Cross antagonism between 1,4-dihydropyridine activators was observed when (-)-(S)-Bay K 8644 (10(-7) to 10(-6) M) relaxed the maximum contraction in response to (+)-(S)-202-791. [3H]Nitrendipine bound in a tail arterial microsomal preparation to a single class of site, with KD of 3.63 X 10(-10) M and maximum binding of 552.7 fmol mg-1 protein. In both rat tail artery and guinea pig ileal smooth muscle, (-)-(S)-Bay K 8644, (+)-(R)-Bay K 8644, (+)-(S)-202-791 and (-)-(R)-202-791 inhibited specific [3H]nitrendipine binding competitively; the Kl values correlate well to the pharmacologic EC50 (for activators) or IC50 (for antagonists, measured against 80 mM KCl depolarization) values. The biphasic response to (-)-(S)-Bay K 8644 and (+)-(S)-202-791 suggests that the properties of Ca++ channel activation and antagonism may reside within a single 1,4-dihydropyridine molecule.
