Antagonism of thromboxane actions in the isolated perfused rat heart
Life Sciences
|June 2, 1986
Abstract:
The effects of SQ-29,548, a novel thromboxane A2 (TxA2) receptor antagonist, were studied in the isolated perfused rat heart. SQ-29,548 at concentrations of 2.5 to 50 ng/ml antagonized the increase in coronary perfusion pressure (CPP) in response to the thromboxane agonist, 9,11-methanoepoxy PGH2. Increases in CPP induced by arginine vasopressin and leukotriene D4 were not altered by SQ-29,548. We conclude that SQ-29,548 is a very potent and specific TxA2 receptor antagonist in the coronary vasculature of the rat heart.
