Effect of ACTH on the relaxation of guinea pig trachea with various bronchodilators

Abstract:
The effect of ACTH on the actions of various bronchodilators was examined using the isolated guinea pig tracheal smooth muscle. Relaxing effects of isolated guinea pig tracheal smooth muscle with 1-isoproterenol hydrochloride, salbutamol hemisulfate, hexoprenaline hydrochloride and epinephrine except prostaglandin E2 and aminophylline were markedly potentiated by combining ACTH. These results may suggest that ACTH has a direct effect on guinea pig tracheal smooth muscle by potentiating the actions of various beta-receptor stimulators.
