title: [Inhibition of release of prostaglandins and leukotrienes from calcimycin-induced mouse peritoneal macrophages and bovine aorta endothelial cells by anisodamine].
abstract: [3H]Arachidonic acid (AA)-prelabeled mouse peritoneal macrophages were stimulated by calcium ionophore A-23187 to release [3H]AA metabolites. The major labeled products which were co-chromatographed with the authentic PG and LT standards by TLC and determined by liquid scintillation were 6-keto-PGF1 alpha, PGE2, LTC4, and LTB4. Anisodamine (Ani) significantly inhibited the A-23187-induced release of PG and LT from mouse macrophages in a dose-dependent manner. In the presence of Ani at 0.5 mmol/L, the A-23187-induced release of 6-keto-PGF1 alpha, PGE2, LTC4 and LTB4 was reduced by 57%, 20%, 53% and 49%, respectively. A-23187-induced release of 6-keto-PGF1 alpha measured by RIA from bovine aorta endothelial cells was also significantly inhibited by Ani in a dose-dependent manner. These results indicate that the calcium-antagonistic effects of Ani may not only play a significant role in its inhibiting release of PG and LT, but also contribute to its salutary effects in the treatment of septic shock.
