P2-purinoceptor antagonists: I. Blockade of P2-purinoceptor subtypes and ecto-nucleotidases by small aromatic isothiocyanato-sulphonates.
Effects of eight small aromatic isothiocyanato-sulphonates, of the aliphatic 2-isothiocyanatoethene-1-sulphonate (IES), and of the parent amines were studied on contractions of the rat vas deferens elicited by alpha, beta-methylene ATP (alpha, beta-MeATP; mediated by P2X-purinoceptors), relaxations of the carbachol-precontracted guinea-pig taenia coli elicited by adenosine 5'-O-(2-thiodiphosphate) (ADP beta S; mediated by P2Y-purinoceptors), and the degradation of ATP by rat vas deferens tissue. The aromatic isothiocyanato-sulphonates all reduced contractions of the rat vas deferens elicited by alpha, beta-methylene ATP. The antagonism was non-competitive, with depression of the maximum of the concentration-response curve of alpha, beta-MeATP and incomplete reversibility. The IC50 values were between 11 and 54 microM. In the guinea pig taenia coli, the aromatic compounds shifted the concentration-response curve of ADP beta S to the right in a surmountable manner (one exception), and where three concentrations were tested, the Arunlakshana-Schild regression was linear and its slope did not differ from 1. The apparent Kd values were between 10 and 214 microM. The removal of ATP from the medium by vas deferens tissue was decreased by the aromatic isothiocyanates with IC25% values between 25 and 464 microM. IES and the parent amines were inactive or almost inactive (parent amines not tested on ATP breakdown). The results indicate that the isothiocyanato residue as well as the aromatic core are essential for P2-purinoceptor blockade. At the P2X-purinoceptor, potency increases with the size of the molecules but is independent of the position of the isothiocyanato and sulphonate substituents. No simple structure-activity relationship for the P2Y-purinoceptor and the ATP-degrading ecto-nucleotidases can be derived beyond the apparent lack of a major influence of the position of the substituents. 2-Isothiocyanatonaphthalene-1-sulphonate (beta-INS) seems to be interesting because of relatively high P2X-selectivity versus both the P2Y-purinoceptor and ecto-nucleotidases.
