Effects of CL 316243 on isolated term-pregnant rat myometrial strips in vitro
Objective:To investigate the effects of the selective β3-adrenoreceptor (AR) agonist
CL 316243
on the contractions and levels of cAMP and cGMP of myometrial strips isolated from term-pregnant rats.Methods:Salbutamol
an agonist of β2-AR
was chosen as positive control.We evaluated the effect of increasing concentrations of CL 316243 and salbutamol on oxytocin-induced myometrialcontractions with or without metoprolol
ICI 118.551 and SR 59230A.Effects of CL 316243 and salbutamol on cAMP and cGMP levels in isolated myometrial strips were also evaluated by radioimmunoassay.Results:CL 316243 concentration-dependently decreased the amplitude of oxytocin-induced contractions with Emax value(48.13%±5.61%)ofCL316243
whichwas significantlylargerthanEmaxvalue(35.52%±5.15%)ofsalbutamol(P<0.05).The inhibition of contraction amplitude by CL 316243 was antagonized by SR 59230A but not by metoprolol or ICI 118.551;on the contrary
only ICI 118.551 antagonized effect of salbutamol.CL 316243 and salbutamol increased cAMP levels
compared with control
but the cGMP levels were not increased.Conclusion:CL 316243 induced relaxation of myometrial contractions in term-pregnant rat myometrial contractions through activation of β3-AR
and its effect was mediated through increaseing cAMP level.
