title: SR 120107A antagonizes neuropeptide Y Y1 receptor mediated sympathetic vasoconstriction in pigs in vivo.
abstract: The effects of the neuropeptide Y Y1 receptor antagonist SR 120107A (1-[2-[2-(2-naphtylsulfamoyl)-3-phenylpropionamido]-3-[4-[N- [4- (dimethylaminomethyl)-cis-cyclohexylmethyl]amidino]phenyl]propiony l] pyrrolidine, (S,R) stereoisomer) on sympathetic non-adrenergic vasoconstriction in a variety, of vascular beds were studied in reserpinized anesthetized pigs in vivo. The rapid vasoconstrictor response evoked by single impulse stimulation, in hind limb and nasal mucosa, was not affected by SR 120107A (1.5 mg kg-1 i.v.). In contrast, SR 120107A potently inhibited the long-lasting phase of vasoconstriction evoked by high frequency (60 impulses at 20 Hz) sympathetic nerve stimulation, in the main and deep femoral, the saphenous and the internal maxillary arteries, leaving merely the initial rapid peak of vasoconstriction in these vessels. Furthermore, the vasoconstrictor response was nearly abolished in the kidney and was attenuated in the spleen and main femoral artery, despite maintained neuropeptide Y overflow. The vasoconstrictor response evoked in the kidney by peptide YY, a neuropeptide Y Y1 and Y2 receptor agonist, was also nearly abolished in the presence of SR 120107A. This inhibitory effect on the response to exogenous agonist correlated well with the long-lasting inhibition of the response to nerve stimulation in the same tissue. The peptide YY-evoked vasoconstriction in the spleen was not altered by SR 120107A, in accordance with the view that the neuropeptide Y receptor population in this organ consists mainly of neuropeptide Y Y2 receptors. SR 120107A did not influence the vasoconstrictor effects of alpha, beta-methylene ATP (mATP) or phenylephrine in any of the tissues studied. We conclude that SR 120107A is a potent neuropeptide Y Y1 receptor antagonist with long duration of action in vivo. Endogenous neuropeptide Y acting on the neuropeptide Y Y1 receptor is likely to account for the long-lasting component of the reserpine-resistant sympathetic vasoconstriction upon high frequency stimulation in hind limb and nasal mucosa. Furthermore, the peak vasoconstriction in kidney, and to some extent in spleen, is also neuropeptide Y Y1 receptor mediated.
