title: Furosemide inhibits bradykinin-induced contraction of human bronchi: role of thromboxane A2 receptor antagonism.
abstract: Bradykinin contracts human isolated small bronchi through prostanoid release and subsequent TP receptor stimulation. Furosemide 10(-4) to 10(-3) M concentration dependently inhibited bradykinin- and the stable TP receptor agonist U-46619-induced contraction of human isolated small airways. The inhibitory effect of furosemide on U-46619-induced contraction involves competitive antagonism at TP receptors. Such an inhibition of TP receptors could a least partly explain the inhibitory effect of furosemide on bradykinin-induced contraction, and could be one of the mechanisms of the protective effect of furosemide in asthma.
