title: Pharmacological profile of T-1032, a novel specific phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor, in isolated rat aorta and rabbit corpus cavernosum.
abstract: This study was designed to examine the pharmacological properties of T-1032 (methyl-2-(4-aminophenyl)-1,2-dihydro-1-oxo-7-(2-pyridinylmethoxy)-4-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-3-isoquinoline carboxylate sulfate), a novel phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor, in isolated rat aorta and rabbit corpus cavernosum. T-1032 (3x10(-11) to 3x10(-7) M) caused an endothelium-dependent relaxation in the isolated rat aorta precontracted with phenylephrine, and the relaxation was accompanied by an increase in cGMP but not cAMP levels. The T-1032-induced relaxation was attenuated by N(G)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) (10(-3) M), a nitric oxide (NO) synthase inhibitor, or 1H-[1,2,4]oxadiazolo[4,3-alpha]quinoxalin-1-one (ODQ) (10(-5) M), a guanylyl cyclase inhibitor. T-1032 (10(-9), 10(-8) M) produced a potentiation of the relaxation induced by sodium nitroprusside, but not of the relaxation induced by isoproterenol. In the isolated rabbit corpus cavernosum precontracted with phenylephrine, the electrical field stimulation-induced relaxation was attenuated by treatment with tetrodotoxin (10(-6) M) as well as L-NAME (10(-4) M). The L-NAME-inhibited relaxation was restored by treatment with L-arginine (5x10(-4) M). T-1032 (10(-9) to 10(-6) M) and sildenafil (10(-9) to 10(-6) M) produced a potentiation of the electrical field stimulation-induced relaxation as well as a decrease in basal tension in a concentration-dependent manner. It was concluded that T-1032 had potentiating effects on the NO/cGMP signaling pathway in isolated tissues, probably through specific blockade of phosphodiesterase type 5. T-1032 would be a useful compound to examine the physiologic functions of phosphodiesterase type 5 in mammalian tissues.
