  • Title: Effect of TMB-8 on the pulmonary vasoconstrictor action of prostaglandin F2 alpha and the thromboxane mimic, U 46619.

    Journal: Br J Pharmacol; 1982 Sep; 77(1):55-8. PubMed ID: 6957253.
    Abstract:
    1 TMB-8 (8-(N,N-diethylamino)octyl-3,4,5 trimethoxybenzoate HCl), an intracellular calcium antagonist, had no direct action on the pulmonary vasculature of the perfused canine lung lobe preparation. 2 The pulmonary pressor response to the thromboxane mimic, U46619, was not affected by TMB-8. 3 The vasopressor response to prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF 2 alpha) was significantly attenuated but not completely blocked by TMB-8. 4 We conclude that the pulmonary pressor response to PGF 2 alpha is dependent on both intracellular and extracellular calcium pools for contraction and that U46619 facilitates either solely extracellular calcium influx or mobilizes an intracellular calcium pool not inhibited by TMB-8.
