title: Effects of TAK-637, a tachykinin receptor antagonist, on lower urinary tract function in the guinea pig.
abstract: The effects of TAK-637 ((aR,9R)-7-[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzyl]-8, 9,10,11-tetrahydro-9-methyl-5-(4-methylphenyl)-7H-[1,4]diazocino[2 , 1-g][1,7]naphthyridine-6,13-dione), a novel tachykinin NK(1) receptor antagonist, on the micturition reflex in guinea pigs were studied in comparison with those of anti-pollakiuria agents. Cystometry was performed under urethane anesthesia. TAK-637 increased the volume threshold with a minimum effective dose of 0.03 mg/kg, i.v. without affecting voiding pressure. Oxybutynin, tolterodine, propiverine and inaperisone also increased the volume threshold in urethane-anesthetized guinea pigs, but they decreased voiding pressure, although the effect of propiverine was not statistically significant. A structurally unique tachykinin NK(1) receptor antagonist, (+/-)-CP-99,994 ((+/-)-(2S, 3S)-3-(2-methoxybenzylamino)-2-phenylpiperidine), increased the volume threshold with a minimum effective dose of 0.3 mg/kg, i.v. TAK-637 increased the volume threshold with a minimum effective dose of 0.01 mg/kg, p.o. in unanesthetized guinea pigs. These results indicate that TAK-637 may be useful as pharmacotherapy for detrusor overactivity without decreasing voiding pressure or causing voiding difficulties.
