title: Blockade of radiocontrast-induced nephrotoxicity by the endothelin receptor antagonist, SB 209670.
abstract: The effect of the novel nonpeptide endothelin (ET) receptor antagonist, (+/-)-SB 209670, on the renal effects of the high osmolar tri-iodinated ionic contrast media, Hypaque, was evaluated in anesthetized dogs in the presence or absence of the cyclooxygenase inhibitor, indomethacin (10 mg/kg, i.v.). Hypaque alone (5 ml/kg, i.v.) resulted in a marked diuresis and natriuresis but little change in either renal blood flow or renal vascular resistance. When the ET receptor antagonist, (+/-)-SB 209670, was infused into the renal artery at a dose that inhibited ET-induced renal vasoconstriction, Hypaque resulted in a significant increase in renal blood flow and decrease in renal vascular resistance. In the presence of indomethacin, Hypaque caused a significant increase in renal vascular resistance which was abolished by (+/-)-SB 209670. The data indicate that the radiocontrast media, Hypaque, can cause renal vasoconstriction which may be mediated by ET.
