Abstract | 1. WEB 2086 and WEB 2170 are potent platelet-activating factor (PAF) receptor antagonists and have been used widely as pharmacological tools to investigate the actions of PAF in a variety of biological systems. 2. Low concentrations of WEB 2086 and WEB 2170 blocked the vasoconstrictor action of PAF in the rat perfused heart. In this study, we observed that moderate concentrations of WEB 2086 and WEB 2170 increased the perfusion pressure in rat isolated hearts under constant flow perfusion. The vasoconstrictor actions of WEB 2086 and WEB 2170 were not observed with a structurally different PAF receptor antagonist, FR-900452. 3. To determine whether this vasoconstrictor action of WEB 2086 involved non-specific effects or was via the activation of PAF receptors, hearts were pretreated with 100 pmol PAF or 50 μM FR-900452. These pretreatments attenuated the vasoconstrictor action of 1 μM WEB 2086, suggesting that the action of WEB 2086 may be mediated via PAF receptors. Pretreatment with the leukotriene receptor antagonist (L-649,923, 5 μM) and the leukotriene synthesis inhibitor (MK-886, 10 μM) that are known to block the vasoconstrictor action of PAF receptor activation also attenuated the vasoconstrictor action of WEB 2086. Pretreatment with PAF or MK-886 attenuated the vasoconstrictor action of 0.5 μM WEB 2170. 4. When PAF receptors were activated by PAF in the perfused heart, significant amounts of leukotriene C4 and leukotriene C4/D4/E4 were detected in the coronary effluent. However, no significant amount of these leukotrienes was detected in the coronary effluent when hearts were perfused with 1 μM WEB 2086 or 0.5 μM WEB 2170. 5. In summary, our results indicate that WEB 2086 and WEB 2170 possess partial agonist effects in the rat perfused heart where they produced vasoconstriction via the activation of PAF receptor. This action could be attenuated by PAF pretreatment or a PAF receptor antagonist. The vasoconstrictor action of WEB 2086 and WEB 2170 involved the production of leukotrienes. But unlike the vasoconstrictor action of PAF, no significant amount of leukotrienes was detected in the effluent suggesting that the vasoconstrictor action of WEB 2086 and WEB 2170 may be explained on the basis of intracellularly or locally produced leukotrienes. |
