Abstract:

The effects of ZD0947, a novel urinary bladder selective ATP-sensitive potassium channel (K(ATP) channel) opener, on carbachol-induced contractions of isolated guinea pig urinary bladder strips were investigated to compare its ability to relax norepinephrine-induced contraction of the aorta. Electrophysiological techniques were also utilized to compare the effects of ZD0947 on membrane currents between guinea pig detrusor and aortic myocytes. ZD0947 caused a significant reduction of the carbachol-induced contractile activity, demonstrating a biphasic relaxation (the first and second components). Although glibenclamide antagonized the effects of two components for the ZD0947-induced relaxation, gliclazide, a selective sulphonylurea receptor 1 (SUR1) antagonist, reduced the effects of the first component but not the second component of the ZD0947-induced relaxation. ZD0947 also reduced the norepinephrine-induced contraction of the aorta. ZD0947 reduced electrical excitability of detrusor smooth muscles, inhibiting spike discharges and also hyperpolarizing the membrane as measured with microelectrodes. In conventional whole-cell configuration, ZD0947 caused a glibenclamide-sensitive K(+) current (i.e., K(ATP) current) at a holding potential of -60 mV in guinea pig detrusor and aortic myocytes. The current density of ZD0947-induced K(ATP) currents in guinea pig detrusor myocytes was significantly larger than that in aortic smooth muscle cells. These results show that ZD0947 caused a significant relaxation through the activation of K(ATP) channels in detrusor muscle.
