Effects of forskolin analogs, phosphodiesterase inhibitors and 8-bromo cyclic AMP on plasma exudations induced with bradykinin and prostaglandin E1 in rat skin.
The effects of forskolin analogs, phosphodiesterase inhibitors and 8-bromo cyclic AMP on plasma exudations induced with bradykinin and prostaglandin E1 in rat skin were investigated using [125I]bovine serum albumin (125I-BSA). Forskolin, forskolin 7-ethyl carbonate and 7-desacetylforskolin, which are potent activators of adenylate cyclase, greatly potentiated the bradykinin-induced plasma exudation and inhibited the prostaglandin E1-induced response. On the other hand, 14,15-dihydroforskolin and 1,9-dideoxyforskolin, which are weak or inactive as activators of adenylate cyclase, did not have any significant effect on bradykinin and prostaglandin E1-induced plasma exudations. The phosphodiesterase inhibitors, ZK 62711, dipyridamole, HL 725, and 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine potentiated the bradykinin-induced plasma exudation and inhibited the prostaglandin E1-induced response. Papaverine had biphasic effects on the bradykinin-response and slight inhibitory effects on the prostaglandin E1-response. 8-Bromo cyclic AMP in the doses of 0.01 to 1 microgram potentiated the bradykinin-induced plasma exudation, but had no effect at doses of 10 and 100 micrograms. 8-Bromo cyclic AMP at all doses significantly inhibited the prostaglandin E1-induced response. The results suggest that the effects of forskolin and its analogs on plasma exudations induced with bradykinin and prostaglandin E1 in rat skin derive from activation of cyclic AMP-generating systems.
