In Vivo Activity
In this study, the dose-response curves of N-methyl LTC4 (NMLTC4), the nonmetabolizable LTC4 analogue, and the peptidoleukotrienes (LTC4, LTD4, and LTE4) were obtained in the absence and presence of the leukotriene antagonist Ro 23-3544 in cannulated frogs. The NMLTC4- and LTC4-induced hypotensive effects were antagonized by Ro 23-3544. Ro 23-3544 also antagonized the effects induced by high doses of LTD4 and LTE4. Ro 23-3544 had no effect on duration of response and did not affect heart rate responses to LTC4 at low dose of the antagonist. The data suggest that receptors that preferentially bind LTC4 in bullfrog vascular smooth muscle regulate the hypotensive effect and that they can be antagonized by Ro 23-3544.
